A Tale of Two Halves

This easily could have been 12 episodes. I was into this drama for the first 5-6 episodes. Instead of concentrating on the marriages in the first half, and the mistresses in the second half, the director should have mixed it up. Separating the two makes the show boring. It seems like I'm watching the same thing over and over again. Especially the last 3 episodes. The only thing I'm remotely interested in, is when the doctor's wife finds out he's not the perfect husband after all.

Prediction: Season 2: The Revenge - The wives get revenge and have affairs of their own... please, make it stop!!

Ouch, A Complete Mess

Jun Ji-hyun could not have picked a worse script for her comeback drama. When I saw the previews, I expected a more action-packed adventure, with Jun Ji-hyun as a bad-ass female lead. Instead we get to see her rolling around in a wheelchair for half the show. So disappointed because Jun Ji-hyun is one of my favorite actresses and this show just wasted her talent.

The filming of every episode almost made me ill. Drone shots, zooming, panning, sideways shooting, the director tries to check off every cinematic shot he could think of. Sure, some of it works but most of it is overkill.

I sure hope Jun Ji-hyun goes back to rom-coms because that's where she thrives.
