The Feel-Good Part
The story line is interesting and engaging. Even after the show’s predictable nature, it still needs it’s audience at the edge of their seats. The love between a father and daughter is shown less due to the popularity of ‘love starved teenager’ trope being more in demand.
The Disappointing Factor
The plot if this drama is not very unique and the there are many scenes that give away the ending. Practically, the last 15 minutes of the drama are enough for the audience to know the story and it’s course of action. Also, the common practice of showing weird relationships between adults and minors is very uncomfortable for the audience.
