Tried too much and ended up flat
When I saw the casting for this drama, I was excited, especially after having watched "When I fly towards you". But after having finished this show, the only word I can describe it is "bait and switch".
It starts off well, we are being introduced to our main characters during their high school years and we are given a short backstory. We learn a little bit about the complicated backgrounds of the main characters, and the director goes a good job of building your typical "School youth romance" story line. And just as you are about to believe this is road the show will take, it takes a hard left.
We learn about the complicated family relations of the FL and the complicated past about the ML, and the director seem to insert the pasts of the main character whenever they feel like, and this creates weird dynamics and flow in the storyline. For example, we learn that ML's is a talented pistol shooter ALMOST HALF WAY THROUGH THE SHOW, and from there on we spent roughly 10 episodes on ML's path to heal himself from the childhood trauma, and here the director constantly toys with the viewer, every time we are baited to think the show will head towards romance again, the director switches, the sick control-freak mother, the random appearances of the uncles apprentice. The director dragged out the show too much in the middle and wrapped up everything too quick in the end, and the constant bait and switch does the original novel no favour either.
Other than the storyline, the soundtrack, makeup, and voice dubbing is under all criticism. They decided to have the FL actress dub over her character while every other character (except FL's lawyer brother) was using the original voice makes this whole show unbearable. The scene where FL singing at the beach concert was also dubbed... And the makeup artist should have been fired, on multiple occasions we could see double eyelid sticker on the FL.
