This show is about people NOT getting what they want in life. These are people who get in the way of their own happiness and unfortunately, there's no pay off for the audience at the end because the couple hasn't learned anything about themselves and the audience hasn't learned much from them either. The pay off of the
coupke winning is also absent so the audience is left feeling as though they just wasted 16 hours of viewing with zero pay off.
The only characters who get a happy ending were the 2 least deserving characters on the show, Mr. Ma and Ms. Bae. Two very minor side characters who spent most of the show gossiping about others and making nasty comments about the lead characters. It seemed like the show went out of its way to ensure that the central characters were miserable under the pretense of sounding deep or comolex.
This made for a joyless experience. I only kept watching waiting for something good to happen or perhaps hoping something good would happened to these characters. The good times never materialized.
The actors and actresses were great but the characterization, not so much. Loved the lead actress playing Su-Yeong in True Beauty. But i found her character in this kdrama unlikeable. She struck me as hard-hearted, unforgiving, and inconsistent...especially in her shabby treatment of her father, Mr Ha and Mr. Jeong. It was as though she hated any man who loved her, except her deceased brother. The stunt she pulled with Mr. So that badly hurt Mr Jeong and pretty much ruined his life and all she sacrificed to help him reach his goals is where her character became unredeemable to me. The plot existed to devastate Mr Ha and Mr Jeong for what purpose? To free herself? The sacrifices she made for the job, only to quit without explanation? She was rubbish.
The lead character Mr. Ha was redeemable. His unrequited love for Ms. Ang was tiring at times and his inability to communicate, frustrated.
Mr Jeong, the security guard was too insecure and pathetic to make me root for him. He was just unreasonably miserable.
Ms. Park was lovely and was such a nice person but overly clingy and needy to the point of being so annoying i could not feel compassion for her... partly because I am so bored of these irrationally clingy girlfriends or women who want a man, can't have him, but refuse to let go. They are far too obsessed and mentally unhealthy for anyone to root for them.
This story was desperate to seem deep and complex but it was simply joyless and thus, pointless.
