It's not like I didn't give this drama a chance. I got to 15 episodes before calling it quits. The story and characters are promising. It’s what made me stick with it for so long in the first place. But boy, does it feel like watching a story that’s told by a monotone narrator.

The direction is average at best along with the acting. This story strongly relies on a whole host of characters, not just the main one. And when you drop the ball in casting more than a handful of them, the various story arcs that involve them become a drag to watch.
