> Communication is important in LIFE; its just not good enough to be a listener you have to communicate to prevent missunderstanigns and tragedies.

When one is difficult in expressing oneself, what it would be like? Misunderstood? This drama focuses on that expect. Gives lesson in life that sometime all we need is a listener.

PLOT
-----

To say that the main plot was far-fetched is being kind. Suspension of disbelief is warranted for the main characteristic of Hwan Ki's character, since that's the hook of the show, but to have this entire scheme to uncover a mystery from left field that left me thinking: "uh... this is not the fun and wacky drama I thought I'd be seeing...", having this was unnerving. The way the protagonist was written had me frustrated. The way that the female lead was acting (from the script, not her actual acting) was irritating. The growth in all of the characters, including the silent monster staff, all came abruptly without minor changes in their behavior could not be noticed. It's as if on cue, they changed their behavior because it was already episode 6, and by episode 7, they should be acting in a certain way towards each other.

The start was ok to me, some scenes were quite bothersome from few first ep but it did change you know! The story start to pick up from ep6 and it will get better and better. The pacing was excruciatingly slow in the beginning, became rapid fire fast in the middle and then slowed down when you were expecting the climax (a false-climax) ; ep 14-16 are just dragged .

[spoiler] The Unnie's death is really overused and tried to make many unreasonable and made almost every main character a part to blame like a round-robin[/spoiler]

CAST
------
Yeon Woo Jin acted fairly well, and gave the best performance he can, with the script that he's given. I have not seen his other performance but he really suits this role .

Park Hye Su (from Yong Pal) was given a material that she couldn't execute better; If a different actress was in the role, they could've brought out more from the character.

The Silent Monster crew was charming in their own way and damned entertaining. As usual, Ye Ji Won and Heo Jeong Min gave brilliant performances as supporting actors. Both were very funny and entertaining as usual, but the limitations of the script and story prevented us from seeing more and enjoying what they can potentially do, given a better script.

MUSIC
-------
The music was very appropriate, and you can feel how each track was selected to coincide with the mood of the scene/s. But since they used and re-used around 4-5 tracks, it became formulaic. It's as if the drama is telling us: "It's time to laugh.... now, it's time to feel sad..."
I hear the music, and I'm forced to pay attention to the scene to get the appropriate mood that was supposed to happen. That is an indication of bad story-telling.

VERDICT
----------
It has slow beginning but was interesting till 10-11 epsiodes and once we figure out the past ; it get into romance-drama and that's when it boring and i slept through it. I'm glad I saw the drama because I really liked the actors, but I was happier that it has ended because that way, my frustrations ended along with it. IMHO, the female lead was miscast, and the story structure, plot and re-writes made it a big jumbled mess.

[spoiler] You know it's bad when you'd rather watch the story of the dead plot device Unnie, rather than the actual female lead's story.[/spoiler]
