Good acting earns extraaa stars for this drama.
7 episodes have been released till now. I write this as I wait for the next episode to air.
(Might be too soon to comment but I am boreeeddd.)
So far, the drama has been engaging. I wouldn't say it is a great drama but it has been good. The premise of the drama is the good old "falling for the forbidden" trope. However, the story has been different. The actions and mentality of people when faced with difficult situations has been written and portrayed well. The genre of drama is romance and melo, do not expect thrill, which is a mistake I did, lol. I expected some thrill in tense moments and twists. And though there are plot twists, they are not presented in a thrilling way rather in a realistic way. You will like it if you like realistic narration of story. I personally love dRaMaaaa :D
The director has done a good job of making me both love and hate Im Sooho's character. Jung Haein is stunning as usual. I personally love him in negative roles and that was the major reason for starting this drama. His cold, death stares add bonus stars to this drama. You see, I didn't have enough of him as the bad guy in Prison Playbook.
Queen Jisoo portrays the innocence of Yeong-ro with ease. I really really hope she does more dramas. She can carry the idol-actor status as perfectly as IU, Yoona and Suzy do.
The politicians and their wives are all hateful and played to perfection by the veterans.
Yoo In-na is as beautiful as ever. Kim Hye yoon is very convincing as Boon-ok who is annoying and rude but also, pitiful (think Ye-seo from Sky Castle). Jang Seung-jo is "The Good Detective" (hehe, pun intended). All other side characters have been cast perfectly, from Jisoo's roommates to hall director Pi to even the security guy at the dorm. Also, I was happy to see Kim Min-kyu. ;)
Cinematography and set design are amazing as usual.
Overall, it is a one time watch. Although I am sure I'll keep coming back to watch fmvs of Soo-ho and Yeong-ro.
PS : The controversy surrounding the drama is not something an international fan can comment on. That is a topic for Koreans.
Rest in peace, Kim Misoo.
