Is it worth it

Ahn Pan Seok shooting a romance like a European film, all long silences, coffee cups and a camera that will not cut away. The first nine episodes are as good as adult romance gets: two people who cannot say what they want, a workplace that punishes women, and a mother who is genuinely frightening. Then it collapses, running the last four hours on repetition and one manufactured obstacle, and the per-episode ratings fall from 9.5 to 7.4 across the run. Extraordinary for nine hours, then a slog.

Explore the relationship of two people as they go from being “just acquaintances” to “a genuine couple” — Yoon Jin Ah, a coffee shop supervisor in her 30s, and Seo Joon Hee, a designer at a video game company who has just returned from working abroad.
