I started watching this drama due to the cast & the story line. The cast includes Lee Dong Gun who I haven't seen him in any new dramas till this one, Yoon Eun Hye who I really like and C.N. Blue's Jung Yong Hwa who is one idol who can act well. The story line sounds really fun as it attempts to show oneself being able to travel back in time to change one's destiny. It appeals to me as it doesn't happens in reality (at least for now) and kind of breaks itself away from the cliche k-dramas, thus I really have high expectations for this drama.
However, now that I've just completed episode 6, I couldn't help but 'shout' for Na Mi Rae X Park Se Joo!!!! I think the chemistry between Na Mi Rae and Park Se Joo is awesome, at the same time, I can't get why Na Mi Rae is attracted to Kim Shin (let's not say it's some destiny thing) as I actually can't really sense how Kim Shin really like Na Mi Rae ( I mean, yes, Kim Shin does show that he kind of like Na Mi Rae by certain actions but to me, these can't be compared to that of Park Se Joo who falls for Na Mi Rae first).
To be honest, in addition to the chemistry between Na Mi Rae and Park Se Joo, it is really my personal preference that the main lead can end up with the second lead (especially for this drama!). It applies to other k-dramas too, but the thing is, from what I recall, I don't feel as much agony when that happens in other k-dramas. In my opinion, it is really because Na Mi Rae doesn't really show who she really love in the drama to the audience (though it is stated in the synopsis), at least I don't feel it. Also, it might be because the story is progressing a bit too slow.
Having high expectations for this drama, I really want feel the fun & joy in watching a k-drama that move away from the cliche, making the impossible happen in the drama (travelling back in time & really changing one's destiny to the preferred destiny). I mean, predictable k-dramas is one issue, have struggles between continue watching it and stop watching it is another. I am so having that struggle now! I really really hope that I will like this drama even more and more with the upcoming episodes week by week.
*The above are just my personal opinions & for now I will still continuing watching Marry Him If You Dare!
