Review:
No wonder it has been put in the Stay Away categories! Take it literally! Horrible plots and story line that nothing make sense as a whole in the end!! In case you are wondering, the writer is Lee Kyung Hee the same lady who wrote the screen play to Sangdoo Let’s go to school! Impressive huh? Quite pathetic for a woman in that ages to come up with such a weak screen play! What’s even worse is that actors like Bi after reading that crap actually played in it! I don’t understand people sometimes!
Okay, the story goes in a way that is so waste of time for me even to remember what the hell happened! But what still is taking space in my brain about this pathetic Drama is the ending!! Guess what? The both main characters die again! And where? In the snow this time! So ridicules, a 2 year old could come up with a far better ending. I personally think the writer is suffering from a chronic depression, my evidence is watching two of her screen plays and if seriously that’s a case she needs to seek for professional aid immediately.
I finished this drama up in 2 days! But I failed to watch ep. 9-11 I should get back to that sometime! Since it was such a meaningless drama, I have no such desires at this moment!! What was even worst than the story was the cloth designing! Well by now we all know that Bi is so obsessed with clothing! Sounds like here he had to approve of the cloth presented to him before trying it on or in case didn’t like it (which seemed like the whole time) making changes of his own! b/c there is absolutely no transition between the wardrobes in different settings! You see him careless at the beginning! Oh well that’s fine, you say! since the wardobes matches, But then on, when he become bodyguard he dressed better than his master! In one scene he is wearing a shredded jeans with such a high profile coat!! Who are they kidding?
I actually managed to find the same outfit he wore on that scene but in another occasion! You’d be the Judge, if this is what a poor bodyguard can afford to wear on a regular basis? While according to the Korean Entertainment Industry outlines an actor is wearing the same outfit in an award ceremony in real life (and I mean the same exact outfit!)
Then again you see him part of a gang and with a casual style!? Where the hell he got the money to dress up like that? Huh? And that’s when the story is about him being so poor that doesn’t have money to pay his brother’s hospital bill (yeah right again) thus he joins the Gangs!! Then later on as a poor mechanic in uniform? Well u know I really suspected as if he himself came up with the cloths ideas or something along the way! b/c it didn’t follow any logical flow!!!
Oh well bottom line is that stay away from this drama!! Sangdoo lets go to school had still such a better scenario except the ending! But this one was terrible since the beginning!!Â
i actually thought that a love to kill had great monologues including dialogues. the acting was great…i think bi and shin min a are both great actors. the script could of course been worked on much better and turned into a movie instead of a long dragged on drama that had potential, but then died 3/4 of the way. the ending was ridiculous, but i liked that the characters were killed off instead of ending up happy together, but then both are such cliches and what would a drama be without cliches? all in all, bi and shin min a are much more than this drama offered. bi was phenomenal in “i’m a cyborg, but that’s ok” along with imsung. also, i think it is expected to see characters being killed off in korean cinema.
