A heart surgeon accidentally ends up in her father's webtoon, discovering the male protagonist character she has loved for so long may be in grave danger.
This didn't work for me for several reasons.
❤ The romance was disappointing as I felt the two actors didn't have much chemistry or connection at the start of the series. Mid-season the two finally found a romantic vibe, and I did believe their love by the end of the series.
❤ The story itself was interesting. I'm not sure I found it all that plausible, but it certainly sucked me in to it. I couldn't stop watching to see what happened next.
❤ Probably the most interesting part is as Kang Chul becomes a fully realized character, the madness of Oh Sung-Moo grows. The performance of the actor playing the writer, Kim Eui-Sung, was amazing. He did an excellent job portraying this poor unraveling soul struggling between reality and fiction.
❤ I wish the side characters from the webtoon, Yoon So-Hee and Seo Do-Yoon, were given a bit more depth and interaction within the story. It would have made for nice layers for the two to be more integral to the plot rather than as side pieces for Kang Chul to use as needed.
❤ The cinematography and action sequences were really well done. Jee Jong Suk, playing Kang Chul, had some excellent and memorable moments.
❤ The biggest problem, or at least the one I noticed the most, was the sound production. It was somewhat hard to hear the actors when they were in crowded or outdoor scenes, particularly when they were on the phone. I noticed myself turning up the volume multiple times during those scenes, something I never thought about prior to other shows.
