It's very shallow and tedious show. Watching this for Park So Dam.

First off, if you are looking for a show that have development of all characters, don't watch this show. Instead, watch Hospital Playlist because it's a better show with proper development of rounded characters.

My final judgement: slow pacing of the story line and tedious/disorganized plot with terrible transitioning.

My bias is for Park So Dam, and I'm watching this show for her. However, this show is very, very unappealing as slice of life drama. The transition between PBG's family to PBG himself is very muddle and confusing. This show jumps from explaining PBG's life to PBG's family without proper flow. Somehow, this show expects the audience to be sympathetic with the secondary characters without showing us the reason why. It's form of telling instead of showing.

There is alot going on in PBG's family as well as BWS's family. Neither plot points are very appealing, and the acting is awkward to watch. It makes you wonder, "Am I watching Korean day soap opera?"

The focus of the family takes away the development of the female characters like Park So Dam's character. You have bits and pieces of her character, but it never show you how she comes to be. Why does she want to be a makeup artist? How does she become a fan of PBG's character? Is she successful in makeup busking? Why does she continue to do makeup busking? You ask these questions and you receive zero answer. This drama only shows Park So Dam when it is necessary for her to support PBG's character. You don't see how she works in her daily job for more than 10 minutes. And most of the time, her appearance in her job shows up when PBG needs her.

And I'm not even talking about Byun Woo Seok's character, cause I still don't get why he becomes the way he is today.

It's obvious that this is more of PBG centric show, which is fine. But when you focus so much on PBG, there is no development for any other characters.
