JBL is an okay drama, but isn't that good.
My biggest gripe is...
They work on this memorial through out most of the drama. We get to see some of the stories of the families of the victims and survivors. They even send out announcements to attend the unveiling. Guess what? We never get to see the friggin' memorial!!! I thought we would get to see the families gather and heal.
Instead we get episodes of the female lead blaming herself for crap she had no control over. To some degree I can understand the writer because the mother basically blamed the female lead for her involvement in her sister's death so it is kind of expected that she would blame herself for other things too. Still, it is annoying. Also, the stupid disease for the male lead is just too much. It is borderline ridiculous. I enjoyed the first 8 to 10 episodes and if the writer had kept to the vein of the leads supporting each other as they built this memorial, then it would have been a better story. The writer could have even put in more stories of those in the accident. I get it is a melo and I love melos, but this kind of went in circles at one point. I will say that I like the fact that there wasn't really a love triangle and there was no vindictive second male or female lead. The side stories were pretty good. The highlights of the drama is Kim Kang Hyun as Sang Man and Park Hee Bon as Kim Wan Jin. They are outstanding friends to the lead characters. I felt some of the stories weren't resolved or too easily resolved and some were rushed, because the writer concentrated too much on that stupid disease instead of giving me closure.
Lee Jun Ho surprised me. He is a good actor and pulled out all his emotions for Lee Kang Doo. I think he had pretty descent chemistry with Woo Jin Ah (Ha Moon Soo). The kissing scenes left a little to be desired, but she will probably get better. I think she did well pulling out the emotions expected of her. It isn't her fault the writer messed her character up some. The other actors are good also.
The music is well done.
I will never rewatch this.
This is a good drama, but don't get your expectations up too high reading all those 9 and 10 reviews. I do recommend it to people who like melos.
