Disappointing

AJ_McAninch

When KDrama is great, it's the best there is. This one misses the mark. The actors are very good, but the plot is messy and tediously slow. The production had a great love story they should have explored more, but they left it hanging in the air and did not develop it--though her grief is heartbreaking, and she's very believable. They spent too long repeating the same plot line about the bad guy, who got away far too many times and deserved to be kicked and beaten slowly to death by our guy. Speaking of our hero, I realize he is suffering from PTSD and probably a lot more, but the actor really didn't have enough to say, and the staring became tedious. And there really was not enough about the kids themselves, nor the whole important trafficking theme. Missed opportunities throughout: they could have had a great series in better hands. I really do love both leads.

score 6/10
