Watch it for IU's character
I watched this show because it had IU in it and unsurprisingly her character Cindy was the highlight. The best moments of character conflicts, acting, you name it, all came when they involved her. There was a quiet melancholy to her acting as though her character had accepted her fate in this world as someone unloved personally. IU really shone through in these more serious moments with a gentle yet undeniably sombre tone that spoke of a character who was never allowed to live a normal life. Seeing what happened to her character throughout and right up until the end wasn't easy to watch.
The problem for the show is that this was really the only good thing about it. The other characters were simply not interesting enough. Kim Soo-Hyun is a terrific actor but there was something flat, gormless and unappealing about his character. He just wasn't interesting in the slightest. The show had a lot of promise but quickly petered out, and it's not memorable enough bar the moments that had IU in them.
