Good concept, sad execution
A man who developed a split personality because of guilt in seeing his father kill so many people. A woman out for revenge but fell in love with the son of the man who killed her parents. This was my kind of drama or so I thought.
I love revenge stories. I also love healing stories. I expected to love this drama but more than halfway through its run and I still can't get invested in any of the characters. Most of the actors are overacting so the characters felt fake somehow especially the ChungTa character. Also, when ChungTa changes from male to female, you can definitely see the pauses in the camera work. Some of the scene sets used also looked cheap like the dream world where Akhee and SajoHyun meet. The director also used a lot of recall scenes instead of just telling the story as it happens. An example of this was the scene of Kyera encouraging SajoHyun to return to the palace then the next scenes show what was happening in the palace, after that was the coronation, then SajoHyun recalled how Kyera was finally able to convince him to return. Maybe the director thought this was more dramatic but for me it just became disjointed storytelling.
This drama just keep feeling more like a low budget school project not a station drama.
