Day5: Drama you finished for the bean
The world of the married
I liked the first episodes of this drama, they were fast paced, and the final scene of the pilot was one of the best of 2020.
But then I realized it was too makjang-ish, not my cup of tea.
The plot went on mostly thanks to people tailing other people, or some perplexing choices (like turning Sun-woo into a crazy woman for just one episode), and even if I felt compassion or understanding for all the characters at some points of the story, no one was likeable: they were all vindictive and selfish people.
It was far from the warm stories I look for where watching KDramas.
Even episodes felt too long (and I was really happy when HDL, CLOY or IOTNBO had episodes longer than 1 hour), but I tend to not drop dramas when I have spent too much time on them, so I slowly finished it. My hard-earned bean 😅
If you don’t like makjang, don’t start this. The actors were great, but I think the writing wasn’t as good as it can seem judging from the amount of awards this drama was given.

I was super interested in this because I’d heard such great things; but I don’t do well with OTT makjang, so maybe it’s good I skipped this one!

Good to know. I’ll give it a skip, in this case.
