That must be the dream. Imagine your workday, director asks "ok what's next?"
Writer 1: hm... he figures out that ******** and then the plane crashed, he got stranded and slowly acquired some sort of illness, and then slowly loses his sight and hearing and speech!! so yeah, we have another 8 episodes for BS before they know some truth. But he recovers.
Directors and producers: Genius!!!
Nielsen Korea: yup.

The skill needed to f~k this up and make people want more (50 eps) BS and then rank first in Nielsen Korea, is a mystery.

------------------------------------------------

Acting is SUPERB.

I skipped some parts from ep 22nd to 28th, but still able to get the gist of every episode.

Target market I think are Ajummas. Mom can't be happy with 16-20 episodes of drama, she wants 50-100!!! there's just not much stress in her life she wants 100!

My kdramas are only those with 16-20 eps (except Empress Ki). Mom always asks after we finish a 16-ep series "that's it???"

AHHAHAHAH what do you want ajumma?! It's happy ever after!

Mom: too short.

------------------------------------------------

Story: Messy. Cliche buffet. You don't want all the cliches in the world in one drama.
Acting: SUPERB
Music: Meh. It was ok, but only emphasized how boring the scripts were. It made scenes longer and more insufferable.
Re-watch Value: OH PLS DON'T. *Zero. This is not Empress Ki, I watched that 4 times!!! And will still watch in the future.

------------------------------------------------

If it's not for you, don't watch it with an ajumma; mom yelled straight to my ear (we're sitting side by side), freaked the living shit out of me. Cuz I skip parts too often in each ep (from 22nd - 28th).
