Gotta be honest, I'm a bit worried about this show. I love the premise, and the start was very VERY promising. But we're now into that standard KDrama rut of family dynamics, crimes you know occurred but the police take the whole show to do anything about. And the WORST KDrama trope...the "You (or we) will bring you down. You need to leave." or the "They will hold you back. You have to leave them".
This is in EVERY series these days (Doona, Record of Youth, even Triad Princess, just to name a few). It is old, it is tired, and it makes zero sense. Real humans don't act like this. They don't approach every problem like it is BLACK or WHITE. RIGHT or WRONG. There are always shades of gray and ways to address these conflicts without triggering the tactical nuclear (destroy existing relationships) button.
Was hoping for WAY more singing and working her way up from the bottom. And these past two plus episodes have left me dreading that this one will continue to be a family dynamics / crime drama until the very end, when they tack on about 7 minutes of singing at the end of the last episode so everyone can ride off into the sunset feeling good about themselves.
Nope...not liking where this is going at all. The good uplifting feels are gone. Long gone.
