The Road: The Tragedy of One

It's disappointing when a drama have potentials but falls apart quickly because of lousy writing. The subpar acting by the kids diminished its value even further. The male lead pulled a tremendous effort to help keeping the drama afloat. The villain was poorly written and cartoonish for this genre. There was a necessity of a better dynamic between the wife and husband given the type of story they were telling. Forget the thriller/mystery bait, it quickly turned into another comical melodrama that lacked any real emotional impact. The last episode was seriously sloppy and rushed it will certainly leave you with a sour taste. On the bright side, the OST was pretty good.

This one really bothered me! Ji Jin Hee is one of my favorite actors and I couldn't stand to watch him in this series. I quit during episode four rather than watch these actors as enigmas that I couldn't stand to watch. The series is about the secrets beneath the facades. In this case the facades might have been androids as I wasn't able to detect what they care about. A mystery should make me curious about motivations and actions but this series is so devoid of energy that it became uncomfortable to watch. I'll give it a 2 for effort. It must have been exhausting for the actors to play androids.

I try hard to watch and found no storyline has been developed. Every episode consists different type of conversions or argument between 2 women, or a couple, sometimes between the lead actor and detective, big boss and his subordinate etc. The conversation content is incompleted and use of flashback again and again in every moment. The pace is extremely slow. 2 lead actresses are so so annoyed! I can't believe a woman who acts furious when she knows her son is dead and suddenly she shouts out in an awkward way. The next few days she keeps changing hairstyles and wears a green evening gown when confronting her rival in love. She looks like going Paris fashion show rather than a mum losing a son! And the wife is even more worsen, she is in tears in all situations even though the moment when she has affairs with in-law. Her acting is so embarrassed. Plus, everyone's acting is so unnatural and their facial expressions all look like constipation! They can't speak a single word in a minute and just stare each other forever! The setting is so so weird and unrealistic.

I really expected it to be more realistic.

The complication sometimes makes it boring.

I hope to see the good actors of this series, like Ji JIn-Hee, in some better series.

Very bad series, acting completely amateurish and catastrophically bad. The script seems to have been written by someone who has no idea about it, and the choice of characters in the series is poorly done. Unrealistic evaluation, is obvious by family and closest friends of associates related to the series can not help make the series itself better.
