I'll start with praise and the biggest positive of the whole series. And that is Ah-in Yoo. His character is very identifiable and sensual. He's a passionate, slightly hysterical, and exotic artist with a not-so-ordinary haircut and wardrobe that matches his house, dog, car, typewriter, and perhaps everything in his environment. This alone, combined with the great soundtrack, could have been the basis for a number of episodes without the audience getting bored. It's a bit of a shame that they chose Soo-jeong Im as his partner, who sometimes turns in a good performance, but also sometimes doesn't. Her TV comeback wasn't a hit in my eyes. But for me, the most significant problem was that the series ran out of steam towards the end. As naturally and easily as I fell into the storyline at the beginning and didn't have to force myself to watch it at all, by the end I was increasingly inclined to reach for something other than what I had just been watching. I'm not entirely sure it's purely the script's fault, but it's true that even in Kill Me, Heal Me I found the same writer's work a bit erratic. And in The Sun and the Moon I complained about something along those lines too. Although both of the aforementioned shows did much better in terms of ratings. And I don't rule out the possibility that the direction is at fault. Not that I didn't like the 30s, but I enjoyed it a lot more when it was a classic rom-com with promising connections to past lives. Once the contemporary atmosphere went on the back burner and the characters seemed to stop living their lives and instead started dealing with the past in their living rooms, it became more of a chore for me to finish watching. I'm quite surprised by the five star reviews here. I'm joining the Korean audience this time and rating it as just average... 3.5 stars.
