I'm not hating on Park Shin Hye, she's just doing what's on the script, which is nothing more or less than crying about everything as if she was the most antagonized person in the world. She is by far, the worst character that I've ever seen in a Korean drama. The next thing that had me doubting the show was Cha Eun Sang. sequence to emphasize the luxurious lifestyle or coolness or credibility of the "rich kids", but quite frankly it did the exact opposite. Korea? Had they met in another Asian country, we wouldn't have had to hear that horrible, unrealistic English that was just another pain in the butt while watching. They could have met in China or Japan or in, I don't know. Kim Tan and Chan Eun Sang could have easily met elsewhere and it would have worked just as well. like seriously, where did that come from? He doesn't do drugs or drink or party or have sex with random girls. When Kim Tan goes back to Korea, he is completely different from his image in the US. Yeah, I'm sure those kind of people exist in the USA, just like they do everywhere else in this world, but do they really need to rely so heavily on a couple of stereotypes they've picked up from American TV-shows? Ah, you might argue that this all builds up to the story and Kim Tan's character. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely city but the way Americans were portrayed was just painful. The very first sign of the drama going seriously downhill was LA. However, it soon became evident that this drama was not going to live up to the expectations that I held. I started watching it because of all the hype around it and for the first two episodes, I was actually really excited. This drama was the biggest disappointment of 2013. Rewatch Value 2.0 A suuuper long review coming up, brace yourselves. It is, indeed, an addictive drug with bad side effects. If you decide to watch this, go in with no expectations at all and understanding it will be hard to quit even if you find yourself hating it. Outside of Kim Woo Bin, other unexpected thefts of the spotlight for this show were: Krystal Jung as Lee Bo Na the wonderful dynamics between Kim Sung Ryung as Han Ki Ae and Kim Mi Kyung as Park Hui Nam and Choi Jin Hyuk as the crown bearer Kim Won. However, none of it can quite come together for the supporting roles if the main ones are so bad off. Actually, most of the other actors showed fairly good effort in trying to work with what they were given. Lee Min Ho seemed to do much better in scenes with every other cast member besides her. The chemistry between the two main characters was non-existent, and Park Shin Hye proved herself (at least to me) to have been a very poor casting selection for the role as she was dull and brought nothing to it. If there would be any reason I'd have to recommend to you, dear reader, to watch this, It would be him. This had nothing to do with how the story went, but with how well Kim Woo Bin played his character. Something strange happened, though, and it's that I came to completely root for the bad character. Love cannot be the "moment" of anything!!! It's an emotion, damn you! A chorus of a song that will haunt you in your dreams and make you want to punch your computer screen as soon at you hear its impending arrival. No wait, a horrible, horrible chorus of a song THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. You know how 1 song plays on the radio 7 times in one day? Yea, but imagine that 1 song playing 7 times within just an hour. You remember in Dragonball Z how there would be almost like 5 minutes of the characters doing nothing but standing around staring at one another? Yea, that sucks. Could they possibly get anymore in? Was there a contest for Drama With Most Cliches happening somewhere? But worst of all, it went from just your usual amount of cliches to being riddled with cliches. wasted on pathetic dialogue and pointless scenes. It's like the writer wrote themselves into a corner just after the first five episodes. Then, out of nowhere, the storyline starts to fall apart at the seams. It seemed it could possibly surprise you a bit, and then you set yourself up with great expectations. What started off as just your normal cliche' filled K-drama, appeared to be a pretty decent story. I'll know it's deceitful lure tactic and to stay away. Next time they stuff a show to the gills with so many extremely attractive faces, I'll know what's up. I won't fall for this cruel and mean trick ever again. I always hated it, I never loved it, but I couldn't let it go for anything. It was some type of addictive drug with terrible side effects.
