Sinking in the Swamp of Sadness – Review – I Miss You
Well, this drama was a big ball of bawling. If you made a drinking game involving how often the characters broke down into hysterical tears, you’d be drunk off your ass before the end of episode two, possibly a danger to yourself and others by episode four and definitely dead from alcohol poisoning by episode six. Meanwhile, the show would keep crying without you, pouring booze on your fresh grave until the very end of the drama. Now we know how Artax felt.
Ironically, the saving grace of this show wasn’t the excessive sadness. The lighthearted moments, the sentimentality, and the stellar cast managed to pull what would otherwise be a huge disaster up onto the shore – leaving a mangled but otherwise recognizable ship of Korean melodrama. Thus it manages to be decent. Not great, not even good… but watchable. If you’re in the mood.
Overall Rating: 5/10.
