Not as good as I expected

To be honest I wanted to watch this for a long time because I heard a lot of people saying that it's one of their favorite drama of all times. The story started off great and it will spark curiosity and excitement because you'll wonder how the connections of the characters will turned out given that you'd be able to figure out right away how the main characters are entangled due to the incident right from the very beginning. It took advantage of the curiosity of the viewers to the point that it's being dragged on for a long time. I just want to finish it off because what I really wanted to know is how things will turn out in the end. Usually the process should be something enjoyable to watch but for me it's very painful and frustrating to watch, I just can't wait to end it and just get over it. The plot twist became a stupid way to prolong the story instead of giving excitement I just wished it ended earlier, it just made my agony watching it longer. I really love mystery genre and also the new idea for fiction of being able to see smell so I'm putting that as a consideration but this doesn't really justify my expectations.

The casts are pretty good except that I hate that the main lead is a bit exaggerating in every way possible. The emotions that I expected for the plot are not conveyed the way I expected it to be. I didn't even cry a bit all throughout the drama even though the story of it should be something a bit tragic. I didn't even get the point of making the female male lead a comedian and the male lead as an aquarist. It just doesn't match well with the whole story.

The songs used are not notable that I haven't even remember any songs from the drama although the sound effects inserted is very effective in setting the correct mood. Like for the comedic scenes, it somehow made me laugh.

I am not expecting to watch this again in the future. My curiosity about the turn out of events has been fed so that's enough for me. I don't even remember getting any lesson from it but at least it made my mind work by wondering what will be the ending.
