High hopes ... dashed
Lots of spoilers ahead
I wanted to love this as Meteorology is facinating to me. The most exciting bits of this Drama was when the weather was being explained / discussed.
Most of the characters felt hollow or their actions werent really explained, they were just there and as viewers we're supposed to just fill in the blanks.
I absolutely love Park Min-Young but i was disappointed with her character. Despite being a boss she rarely felt like she was in control and never grew much as the show progressed. This was disappointing as there was plenty of room for growth which was filled with what i feel were "filler scenes". Far too many scenes were drawn out with one look to the point where i was getting irritated with the pace. Then suddenly things pick up and go super fast and the important things feel like they aren't looked at as much as the "just looking at someone/something scenes". Also .. how in the world is it okay for one coworker to grab and harass another okay in 2022? Not just the fact that it was a male that did it to a female but if it was any gender. How was that person not arrested and charged. Toxic toxic toxic.
Forcaster Um.... there was room for him to grow but his character just flat lined the whole way. Disappointing. Same as the other members of team 2. So many missed opportunities.
How is it that the cheaters of the show had the most growth in the whole series?? They werent even the lead characters. Blows my mind.
Si-woo felt whiny and childish. He annoyed me from the get go. But one thing i can say is that he was 100 percent correct in wanting to be rid of his father. The fact that director Jin encouraged him to forgive and forget infuriates me. Just because people are your family doesnt mean you need to allow that toxicity into your life.
Kim Mi-kyung is also a favourite actor of mine but her character felt flat. Her character also felt like she barged in and disrupted things for no good reason. This is 2022 .... we're not living in the past. Can we stop with the toxic, overbearing mothers already. We need more love and understanding to be protrayed.
There is alot more i want to say but honestly, the cast line up was fantastic and they did the best with what they had. The story started with an amazing idea and completely bombed due to poor character growth and design. The only reason the cast didnt rank as 10 was because they were unable to act to their full potential. Toxic sterotypes made this a hard watch. I can usually let it go if it was earlier in the decade but we are talking brand new 2022... some of the things portrayed in this drama are so problematic. I know it still happens, but we have to stop romanticising these troupes and start dealing with them in the proper way. If the writers were aiming for cute, light hearted etc etc then they should leave the heavier stuff iut if they cant fit it in with the theme of their show.
Love the cast and premise.... hated the pacing and where the story went.
