Algoissjiman (2021)
Attractive leads, good start, stupid development
We have two young and attractive leads. Their first encounter is sweet and the eye contacts hot. Their happy moments are good to watch but when they start to drift apart the whole script takes a dive into stupid town. All the drama is based on stupid misunderstandings and unbelievable poor communication skills from our Don Juan and her being a psychotic mess. The script does a very poor job as painting him as a jerk, we don't actually see him kiss and being intimate with any other girl. He is actually super sweet with Nabi during all the show and always runs after her. I had to fast forward through the last episodes, it was getting so repetitive and so full of nonsense.

Had to stop watching
The story starts sort of interesting with some original twists. The script is quite female centric with lots of bad men and poor female victims. But there is a village where women are strong and do well without men and they are quite happy. The romantic intrigue is pretty standard for a Korean drama, two men competing for the affection of one woman. It leaves you in some sort of disbelief though... those two guys are handsome, smart, skilled and for some reason they chase after a girl with no particular charm or anything. She just keeps rejecting those two poor souls brutally without mercy and they come back groveling on the ground asking for more beating...yeah she hits them. It became so ridiculous and toxic that had to stop watching.

There are some good moments
The costumes and settings are gorgeous, the soundtrack has some memorable tunes. The story has however some significant plot holes with some very naive dialogues. There are some touching moments but also some very cringey ones. The last few episodes are difficult to watch because they are convoluted and barely make sense anymore. The acting was alright, although quite exaggerated. The lead actor did well though and the episodes in the middle of the series were pleasant with some very cute moments between the love couple. Worth a watch!

Really Good!
The beginning is a bit slow and uneventful as life is at times but from Episode 5 on, it got me hooked. Amazing script, direction and actors. It is food for the soul and it can affect you positively at a quite deep level. Much recommended!
