Reflection of You

Have you ever watched something where so many characters are moody, dysfunctional, or downright incapable of normal behaviors? The actor "Mr. Seo" character is Korea's answer to Keanu Reeves: talk about zero range. This was a bad deal all around. Watching it, I really could care less about any of the leads.

It started as a captivating story, but the bitter, self-pitying, vengeful Ms. Gu's twisted reasoning and plots just dragged on and on. Basically, everyone had to be punished and had to suffer forever because the man she loved, never really loved her and was unfaithful.

One could have felt sorry for Ms Gu in the beginning, but her exagerated self-pity and twisted manipulation of absolutely everyone, even the man she professed to love, was just exhausting!

I had to skip to the end after about episode 11/12 and it was a really disappointing ending. Don't bother.

A story of love and betrayal, similar to Wuthering Heights. Woo Jae is the one who truly loved and paid with his life. His lover, after cheating on her husband, goes back for money. His wife can not accept being abandoned and keeps him alongside to punish him, his lover, and destroys the lovers' family. The moral : if somebody does not love you as you love them, show your love by letting them go. Don't be clingey and spiteful, fate gives everyone their due.

A successful artist married to a rich businessman has her life turned upside down when a one time friend returns looking for revenge because of events in their past. It is a slow paced drama where you get to know more about past incidents from each individuals perspective. It is very cleverly written as you find yourself understanding a characters behaviour who you disliked as their story is told. The whole cast does a resounding job as there are many interesting side characters, but Go Hyun-iuna and Shin Hyun-been as the main protagonists are outstanding.

Had high expectations for this series at the start but there was basically very little plot which stretched on for 16 eps. Would've been a much better series if they brought down the number of episodes. The ending is very unsatisfactory as well.
