Faux-makjang where nothing actually happens
I honestly would classify Mine under the makjang category. Unfortunately, it's not good makjang in that it's neither memorable nor entertaining, and 15 episodes in nothing struck a chord. There is some resemblance of a story but it's so frivolous that you just cannot get engaged. (The funny thing is, even Kim Seo-hyung thought the show made no sense at the start.)
In a nutshell, the theme of the drama is about discovering your real identity and finding your true self. However, the story does not serve this purpose. I feel like this is extremely similar to another currently airing tvN drama that gave me the same feeling in that they have good intentions but horrible plot and execution that leave you thinking "okay, if you say so".
The amazing thing about drama as a medium of expression is that everything is being played out in that small screen that is like a parallel world to real life. Nevertheless, most dramas fail to show what they want to express and eventually have to resort to plainly voicing out the underlying themes. This is exactly what Mine did and I really really dislike it.
I hope to see our two leads in better projects. Adiós.
