Interesting Yet Incomplete
I realize this is a remake, so perhaps some of my criticism is not well-founded. They really took the idea that the invisible can utilize that into a strength, and I very much enjoyed that aspect. In fact I enjoyed most of the show, so I’ll just focus on what didn’t quite work for me.
While I empathized with Yong Mi’s character and her issues, I found myself irritated by her lack of transparency to the degree she was always taking it. Whether it be her child with a found poker chip, her roommate’s money, her friend’s trust - she just always waltzed out of those situations without any proper address or believable resolution. It made it hard to cheer her on. In Kyung also started losing me with the materialism, but I could somewhat sympathize, though not as fully after a while. So I became mostly focused on Soo Ja’s distressingly bad home life and wanted her to make it out of there.
Given how much, often excessive, detail we are given for each project, the side stories didn’t get their due time at all. I guess Yong Mi’s husband’s new wife has worked through her worries about a blended family. I guess a coffee truck fixed the materialism. I guess the husband and son have hearts now (did they divorce? I wanted and needed that reaction). And I guess that Young Shin is finally going to start his romance up with Yong Mi.
It was worth a watch, but I had to break it up a bit to finish it because it was long on the projects and short on the interpersonal dynamics that round the story out and leaves you satisfied at the end.
