참 좋은 시절

About a few episodes in, there was a clear pattern that seemed it was going to adopt and it did. The drama had the bad habit of always escaping from conflicts, keep dancing around them until enough time had passed and the viewers won't notice. It didn't dare to go for direct confrontations and real dialogues. Take for example the main conflict in the drama between the male lead and the female lead, it kept getting delayed and pushed around until enough time passed and everything suddenly worked out. No real conversations/confrontations/stakes/tension/emotions. This also resulted in reaching the finale early. The drama practically ended with episode 37, not even before finishing the episode. The remainder of the episodes were a disastrous nightmare to sit through. It kept cycling through empty dialogues between the supporting cast with the highest degrees of mawkish sentimentality and cringe. I had to double and triple check, something must've gone seriously wrong with the production for the drama to turn this way. This kind of practice is what keep veteran actors and actress from picking up daily drama projects. I could feel the pain some of the cast members had to go through enduring this drama reluctantly. Just look at how modern daily dramas projects has become.
