        Bad love

        For the story and this prolific love of theirs to work, a lot of hard work needed to prove their undisputed love and the leads needed to have a better chemistry which the drama didn't do a good job of neither. They took the concept of "love" and ran it to the ground. It was nothing but ugly. There was a desperate need of balance between good and bad. The opposing party (the baddies) were invincible until they weren't. The pace was often off, 5 episodes can pass while the leads don't even have much screen time. The breakups/separations gaps were too damn long without any interaction between either sides. About 10-15 episodes can pass without these "lovers" talking or seeing each other, what is this writing?! You can't make excuses for the drama for being old because I've seen infinitely better dramas from the same era. On another hand, Suk Jin just looks too old to be involved with the others. I wanted Suk Hee to have a bigger contribution, she got less screen presence than any of the support cast.
