Honestly, I dont know what to think. It was weird. I finished today, and i had to FF some parts… Main romance was boring for me at the end. But hey! Chan hee made me cry…

    I agree and it took me awhile to objectively process what I had seen. Park Hae-yeong’s writing was unique and (at times) brilliant, but I cannot shake the analogy to the fable of “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. I know many will disagree with me.

      Yeah, that’s been running through my head since the beginning of the drama..or to hark back to an ancient pre-meme…”where’s the beef??” The trappings are beautiful, but the content just isn’t there.

        Maybe it’s one of those dramas that make people understand what they want instead of what’s really there. The characters are relatable, pretty, the situations are somewhat interesting, the cast is amazing and cinematography is sometimes beautiful. Lots of metaphors to pretend are meaningful.
        I haven’t finished the show yet but these two examples come to mind.
        The relationships between the siblings and the parents and between MJ and Gu. I felt the drama showed in many ways how the relationship between siblings and parents was quite neurotic and how difficult it was for them to live there, however many people believed that was just a close nice family. Same with Gu and MJ, they both had many issues and their relationship was much more about those than what they had actually built among them, but most people seemed to think of it as a sweet romance.
