I'm a fan of Lee Jong Hyuk ever since I saw him in Chuno. He played a villain with an interesting story and he managed to steal scenes from Jang Hyuk himself. So you could say he is one of the reasons why I decided to watch this. It's a pity he doesn't appear in more dramas, although I believe he's busy acting in musicals.
I applaud the originality of the plot, and the message of the story, which basically tells you that love requires courage, and there are two types of people in this world when it comes to facing love: those who'd rather watch from the distance and imagine what it could have been instead of making a move, and those who take the risk once and once again even if they fail, simply because it's worth it.
As for the cast, and back to Lee Jong Hyuk, he's THE actor in the show and he really fits the role.
I found Sooyoung's character a little irritating at first, but I ended up liking her, and I think she did a pretty decent job.
I found Lee Chun Hee's subplot a little lame and boring, though. It's such a pity, because I really really like Lee Chun Hee and I think he's an underrated actor that deserves better roles in better dramas.
But one of the strongest points in the cast is the large amount of cameos. My favourite ones were Jung Yu Mi and Gong Yoo. The fact that there were different mini stories developing at the same time than the main plot. This helped relieving the strees being put on the main story all the time, and it helped conveying the message either way.
However, I feel that the closure was a little messy; actually that's nothing new in Dramaland, but a little disappointing when you feel you're watching something fresh and new, and it ends up having the same flaws you usually encounter in other stories.
That's why I feel that, even though I enjoyed this drama all in all, it had the potential to become much more than it ended up being.
