I find the set up of the scenes extremely choppy. We know Ji Chang Wok is beautiful but whole minutes of him just scratching his head or looking blankly at people with that sad face is too much.
There are also too many allusions to things that are never explained. Instead of building up mystery, I feel like I've already figured out his oh so sad past that nothing will possibly shock me.
As some reviewers have mentioned, some actors don't gel with their roles. But my thing is I don't feel the chemistry between the leads at all. This is the first time ever I haven't shipped him with his female counterpart. (except for that wonderland one. But she was a minor)
Last but not least, forced prostitution is a heady topic. I'm truly scared to see how they'll handle it.
Anyway I continue to applaud Ji Chang Wok for continuously challenging himself with diverse roles, even if it doesn't always work out, lol.
