Why is this so bad?
I was looking forward to this kind of series. A kidnapping/crime/action series with romance. That's how it was advertised. Watch both trailers, if you don't believe me.
I have seen Ohm many times, but his best performance sure was in Bad Buddy, where - with Nanon - his acting reached new heights. While Bad Buddy was just a cute romance series, it was very well-made, had great music, beautiful (emotional) scenes. It became repetitive and the "commercial art" got out of hand, but it was good. Very good.
Now I expected this series to be similar good. A big hit. Why not? Leng is beautiful, the couple works well together, which isn't surprising since Ohm is known for having chemistry with everyone. But what did we get?
The writing is wattpad-style, as if it was written by a 15 years old. You feel the writer is inexperienced (not only in writing, also in life). Almost every scene is written in such an immature way, that you know the writer didn't think it through. Why, though? Who is working on this? Why didn't they make some slight changes to the script? Why are they putting out such a cheap product? Even the cinematography looks cheap, it looks like they tried to keep the budget low. Again: Why? Did they have no trust in this series becoming a big hit? Does this have to do something with the Ohm-Nanon drama? (I don't know the details).
To be precise: The kidnapping plot is not believable, at least not in the way it was presented. Min as a character is too simple, just the good guy who did something bad to be able to pay the medical bills of his brother. He likes Q, which is pretty obvious. This is too fast. Just give us some time, show us how they fall in love. We got some lovey-dovey moments already in episodes 2 (talking about being someone's type). No build-up. None. No character development. None. Who wants to watch this? Girls and boys who enjoy watching cute boys being cute and in love. Girls and boys who don't want deep stories, good characters, complex plots. Those people are most likely the target audience of GMMTV, so yeah, why bother to try harder, when there are people who will scream when those two come closer, lips almost touching, a soft smile, a longing stare. Who needs good characters and plot development? "But that's not true!" - they will tell you, and try to explain the non-existent depths of this badly thought-out plot.
It's disappointing, to say the least.
