Have a bucket handy

I don’t know how much cutesiness you can take before being in urgent need of a bucket. I’m not good with it, so be warned, there’s one couple whose nausea rating rockets past stratospheric and had me retching for the FF button. Talking of couples, the word incestuous, seems almost ready to spring from my lips. It got so bad that even the celeb posters in the lobby were making out. If it could move it was paired up with something that only needed to show signs of breathing. Compatibility was an irrelevant afterthought if it was there at all. But hey, I’m not a sourpuss, and if it’s a bit of fluffy romance you’re after, then this is definitely your drama!

Actually, for once, the leads were the best couple (Lee Sung Kyun and Kim Young Dae) and I really liked both their performances.Not the hottest pairing ever, but they had likeable characters and played them well. Second up in the credibility stakes was Park So Jin and Lee Jung Shin. After that it goes downhill pretty fast…

Unlike most dramas, which start and end well but flag in the middle, this had a great mid-section a passable beginning and a totally forgettable end. Unless you’re an aficionado of PP you can skip episode 15 altogether and not miss anything at all.

What my rating means: 7+ A watchable drama, but nothing exceptional. Good enough to qualify for the race, but finished with the pack. The sort of thing that promises more than it delivers.
