It's interesting, because the only reason why I continued watching this drama was because I was writing my own plot in my head and imagining interactions that could be interesting. The drama turned out to be nothing like what I expected, and at every point where it could have gone the right way it went the opposite direction instead.

First up, I appreciate the casting. They are both good looking, so that is some motivation. I think Mario was good. His character didn't make sense but he was good. Yaya's character also didn't make sense, but her portrayal made it more confusing. I cannot criticise their performance too much though. I completely understand if they were unable to comprehend their characters, because this show is just plain illogical.

This drama had all the ingredients of good makjang. Accidental pregnancy, a long separation, love-hate, then reconciliation. BUT, they didn't seem to be deep in love enough and they appeared to really hate each other after the seven year separation. Really, the crux of a Romeo-Juliet like storyline is to love while not being able to love. They certainly got the not being able to love very right, but the actual fondness was not there. So throughout the drama I only felt that they liked each other 5% of the time and for the rest of the duration they looked like they will end up killing each other.

Unfortunate, because the potential was there.
