She isn't worth it
phd_travel16 October 2020
One thing about this show is that it keeps the viewer wanting to see how things turn out till the end. How are things going to end well when there is a love triangle about 2 brothers in love with one woman? It may be okay to get involved with your brother's wife in other places but not in Korea. Who is she going to end up with? The story is involving but irritating at times. Every character does irritating things except the mother of the 2 brothers - she is the only one with common sense and gets things done among the lot of them. She says the things the viewer is thinking. The female lead character Ye Ji is often selfish - one of the more irritating characters in K drama. Who is she to act so high and mighty. The older brother Jin behaved selfishly but the younger brother Hwan is irritatingly persistent. There are plenty of fish in the sea. The father is an idiot for bringing 2 young boys hiking and mountain climbing. There is a nostalgic feel about the passionate romance and the pretty setting with the country house and lake which are bucolic. But the fact that the happy wedding comes first then things unravel is the opposite of an old fashioned story. Overuse of Schubert Serenade as soundtrack unless it was meant as a homage to Summer Scent - for those who can remember the melodrama. The casting is hit and miss. Im Soo Hyang was perfect for Gangnam Beauty because her character is supposed to look like she had plastic surgery. But in this movie she doesn't convince as the girl who could reduce 2 eligible men to tears and inspire such a great passion. The men are better cast. As younger brother Ji Soo is probably one of the few younger actors who could act so whipped and also transition from kid to adult. It's a good role for Ha Seok Jin as the older brother from dashing race car driver to wheel chair bound he really gets to act a meaty dramatic role for a change. He looks young here and he is a good actor who deserves more prominent roles and more a A list female co star like maybe Son Ye Jin again. I don't regret watching it but there are some irritating aspects.

What happened to the subtitles?
verahopehunt28 August 2020
Im giving this an 8 rating because acting was outstanding and storyline was compelling. I was loving this series but by episode 3 the subtitles were very infrequent....especially during some key scenes and exchanges between main characters. I love Kdramas and this is the first time I've had this experience. What a huge disappointment! I hope they make changes and add subtitles because I would definitely watch again.

Low effort bottom feeder

Just like any other drama where two brothers have an intense love triangle over a girl, except this one falls on the lower end of the spectrum. So you better off tune your expectations accordingly before going into it or just avoid it altogether.
