A charming drama - except when it falls apart
This is one of the most atmospheric dramas I`ve seen thus far, and if I had to guess, I`d say that it`s thanks to its amazing OST, which I`ll be downloading in a few moments` time. Whoever was responsible for it, they did a great job. It`s catchy, nostalgic and not at all bland. Another point this drama has going for it is the acting of Chun Jung-myung, who really sells the chemistry and his role of a chaotic doctor pushed too far. And he also has great chemistry with the lead actress. However, I don`t particularly think that chemistry was explored enough, or rather, it was explored, but it seemed like it was only peppered through, resulting in a relationship that, though not shallow, seemed so. Up to the episode 12, it was a cute drama about a couple of misfits trying to find themselves. The psychological aspect is extremely watered down, so if you`re looking for some apt representation, skip this. From episode 12, however, it almost seemed like writers decided to throw their initial main plot lines to the wind and exchange it for a very cliché and over-the-top drama plot, leading to this drama just taking the biggest nosedive and becoming boring in a matter of minutes.
Everything they`ve been working on collapsed due to a bad writing decision. From then on, it just became a chore to watch and I almost wanted to skip through most of the scenes. This is an advice from an aspiring writer whose strengths come from characterisation derived from trauma and real life situations- don't ruin your characters by forcing in a tragic past and then, even worse, try to make it a relevant point, when you know that these kinds of dramatic storylines aren`t your forte. It was messy, unnecessary and ruined the whole mood in the process. In the end this drama is a victim of nonsensical writing decisions and I would recommend it as a pastime, and don`t try to analyse it, as it will fall apart completely then.
