The pacing of the story is dreadfully slow. Every dialogue is in slowmotion. Half the dialogues are utterly pointless and add nothing of value to the story. It's truly a bore to watch. At first I thought this story will start pick up the pace a few episodes in, but it kept being horrendously monotone and awful. Sure, there were some comedic moments, and some heart racing moments, but they were all "meh". It was average, the story is dragging, i despised certain characters, which is a no-no for me if I want to keep being intrigued. It's also dramatic for the effect of being dramatic, i hated the black and white 'villain' characters. Gosh, I'm starting to regret watching this. But anyways, the only thing that was worth it were those very rare moments of tenderness between the main couple. Also, their dynamics and the jealousy of the male lead. There, that was the only thing I somewhat enjoyed. That's the sole reason why I even watch Kdrama. For the sweet sweet feelings of seeing two people slowly fall in love with each other. PS I skimmed through the last half of the series because it just kept dragging on, my what a bore! I fast forwarded it to the shin and ch scenes only, I didn't care for the rest.
