Love in Black Hole (2021)

A show that lacks in too many elements; boring, poor, and plain

The only reason I watch this drama is simply because Lee Hangyul were the one portraying the main character. The flow of the story is fresh and rare but the execution isn’t that great. The fantasy as its genre seems to be a comedy; it doesn’t feel magical at all. Talking about black hole and white hole theories, I’m hungry for providing more believable reasons but they only focuses on connecting the situation to the romance, even the professor explains it in a romantic way.

The acting. They need to practice more before shooting some scenes, every single one of them. Their acting was below average; the camera angle only captures the visual but not the emotional needs of the story. I was annoyed at the beginning but I think I get the hang of it after watching few more episodes.

Music were their last hope but unfortunately it was another letdown. At first I love how they include the OST as the song written and sung by the main character but they let him sing the song on the entire show which gets me tired of it. They added a new song, which were the duet, but it was during the last few episodes, too late I guess.

I am the kind of person who believes that even a show that has a rough start, I am still hoping for a remarkable ending that will save the show from being that bad. But…

It was another failure, they need to give at least a proper closure to both second lead man and woman who was the test subject for the main couple’s deep feelings on each other. The romance between old buddies were not that impactful to the point that I feel the sincere love they had on each other. I am okay with them not being together. My kind of ending is when the main girl ended up with the second lead and stayed as the best friend to the other guy. The sarcasm and attitude explicit by the second lead girl was on point. The drama let her turned to be a bad bitch but that’s just how a normal person react when someone keep saying stuffs about an existing white hole who doesn’t have enough evidence to support her claim. Not to mention the second lead girl ask about the real relationship of the two best friends before showing her interest to the guy.

I say a lot of negative things but to be honest this is not extremely bad. It was just a fine drama that really needs more enthusiasm and appeal to be consider a great one. I keep wanting to see more improvements, feel excited for the next episode, and be hooked up with the flow but they totally failed to give me all of these. As I said, the show has the potential and just okay for a mini-series.

I'll be completely honest. I watched this drama because of Jaeyoon. I found this on his feed and I was like I have to watch it. To be honest, I didn't really like it much. Though the concept is not something you would find in a drama, I didn't liked it. I felt that concept of white hole and black hole is not a topic that I or anyone would find in any drama, either western or korean. Overall, in my opinion, it is a one time watch if you like to discover new concepts. If you are a fantasy, (SF9'S fandom name, incase you didn't know) you have to watch it once. It is a new concept. Worth a Watch.
