It's a fools journey
I am Sad to finish another Ahn Pan Seok (APS) drama. I have enjoyed all of his dramas from 2012 onwards. He did not disappoint me and I was very happy with the ending as well. In the past I have criticized APS for ending the drama with unanswered questions but this time he delivered.
The drama itself was 30 hours long and it is the longest one I have watched so far, but the 30 hours seemed to have flown by.
I liked this drama because it did not follow a formula. On the surface, it would seem that the drama is about our primary couple (OPC) but I think the drama is more about ML's parents (in-laws). It was evident from the beginning that our FL was a tough young lady and will firmly stand her ground and little change was expected from her as the story unfolded. Her husband came across as weak and the actor playing that role did a superb job and till the end he stayed as a supportive husband. We all knew that he'd choose the family over his inheritance.
All the time, I was wondering how are the parents going to transform? So, really the story is about the in-laws and their domineering/controller characteristics.
I wondered till the end if in-laws would fall in line and value the family over wealth and status. I was happy to see that APC and the writer chose the latter.. I think it would have been too cheesy if in the last 10 minutes of the show, the in-laws mended their way and lived happily ever after with OPF (our primary family). Although sad, the ending fit well the in-laws character which was selfish, controlling and looking good. Children.. what children!! they were their play beings as exhibited by their grand child. Throughout the drama, the in-laws would wake up in the middle of the night and play with their grand child. But when the time came to choose between the family and money, they quickly forgot about the grand child and chose money, status and eventually loneliness.
I would have given this drama a 9 but the length of the drama and the terrible OST just couldn't make it to a 9. I would have like to given it a 8.75 but that option is not available.
I am glad to have the spent the time watching this drama and if you like APS's other dramas, you'd like this one too.
Cons: The English translation was lacking at times and it was difficult to follow all the intricate details of the financial transaction and secretary Yang's dealings. So it became confusing at times.
