Messed up second half
I started watching this drama in October, thinking that it would be light and easy to finish. I was wrong. I took several breaks and a long break at episode 10 because it started to feel heavy and repetitive.
The story revolves around Eun Ha Won who is a righteous person with very strong morals (the only person I finished this drama for). She is invited to live in a big mansion by a rich chairman who wants her help to get his three grandsons closer and to decide who will be his successor.
His three grandsons are very different right from the beginning (and that is intentional). There’s the “flirter”, the popstar and the tough guy.
So, Eun Ha Won leaves the apartment where she was thrown out by her stepmother and stepsister (two actresses who did their job well by making you not be able to stand them :)) and moves into this mansion.
I liked how she tries to get these three stepsons together at the beginning, trying to make them understand what a family feels like. But the more you go into the story, the further the story drifts away from the initial storyline.
Especially after the second female lead appears, which is the “flirter’s” old flame. And I’m sorry to say this but her acting was awful, it seemed like she was only able to express two or at most three different feelings on her face…
She is almost obsessive over the flirter and is so sure of herself that he feels the same way as her and that they’ll get back together.
This goes on for too many episodes and it’s painful to watch because it seems so unnatural and like her only reason to be in the drama is so that the boys have something to fight over (because she is also the tough boy’s friend).
If they had kept the same story direction from the start, it might have been a better drama. But the way they made it it’s just a confusing story with unnecessarily many twists and turns from the second half of the drama onwards that make it impossible to see the three brothers really get closer and the relationships between the FL and the brothers develop. (Also, the popstar really does feel like a half outcast…)
I will not rewatch this but I hope I was able to convey my feelings in all sincerity.
The actors really weren’t the problem as much as the squiggly storyline.
Thanks for reading :)
