5/10

I'm DNFing this. Went on Reddit to suss out if the last two episodes would be worth watching (after barely scraping by eps 13 and 14) and the consensus was a resounding no. It kinda sucks, because the first episode was great and lay down the foundation for what could have been a great story that addressed some complicated topics. But it all quickly went downhill from there, and the suck was all down to the terrible script since the actors really all did the best they possibly could have under the circumstances. There were some interesting ideas surrounding traumatic events, mental health, family dynamics and the pressure of having to deal with people's unreasonable expectations, but the focus was put elsewhere and the whole drama was so badly paced it was a struggle to watch towards the latter half. If you like Ji Chang Wook's acting style, you're gonna love Kim Jae Joong. It's like they were trained by the same exact acting coach. But not even him was enough to motivate me to suffer through this drama till the bitter end. I need a memory eraser now to forget how this drama was ruined with all the bad choices the writers and director made.
