Uncontrollably Fond

HAVE A BUCKET READY TO CATCH YOUR TEARS.

This show was SUPER melodramatic, messy and over the top, but not in a corny or cheesy way. I thought it was interesting and brave how many flaws they gave to the lead characters. Especially Jun Young. He was a horrible person. Arrogant, selfish and a bully. But damn it if it wasn't nearly impossible to hate him. He was also so pitiful and earnest that my heart broke for him at times. He made for a fantastic morally grey character. As for the acting, all the sad scenes were very well done, but it was kinda conspicuous how bad everyone was at acting angry. They all starting randomly yelling when they were supposed to be mad and I thought that was funny. The OST also had some odd choices, including an instrumental that always had me humming carol of the bells whenever it played on the show. I don't know that the show needed to be 20 episodes, it started losing steam after ep 16. Still, for an oldie drama it holds up quite well, and I for one much prefer the fashion and wardrobe choices of back then much more than the current ones.
