Starsho:
Cast and writer before the show streamed. Now in addition to loving the cast and writing, will be following the cinematograper's future works too. There were quite a few exquisite, visually stunning scenes that felt like they came from an arthouse film. I rewatched some parts of the first 2 episodes an unhealthy number of times (lol) because they were so beautiful, so melancholic and so mesmerizing. The writer met with and decided on the casting of Han hyo joo and Ju ji hoon before she even finalized her script, and she had the two of them in mind as she completed her writing, you can't get a better marriage of characters and actors/actresses than this.
?? The cinematography is simply stunning, with a keen attention to detail that elevates the overall visual experience. The dark-themed frames, in particular, are expertly crafted, adding a sense of depth and tension to the narrative. The use of lighting and shadows is masterful, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that draws the viewer in. The visuals are truly awe-inspiring, making this sci-fi thriller a treat for the eyes as well as the mind."
Let me know if you'd like another rewrite! ?.
"I'm a huge fan of the writer, having been captivated by her previous work, the 'Stranger Series'. She has a remarkable talent for crafting gripping stories and developing characters that are both complex and relatable. Her ability to create strong chemistry between main leads, often with subtle hints of romance, is unparalleled. Her characterizations are always spot-on, bringing out the best in every actor. I'm excited to see her skills shine again in this new sci-fi thriller drama!.
Good move by Disney+
"Ju Ji Hoon first impressed me in the hit drama 'Kingdom', and I've since been a fan of his exceptional acting skills, showcased in various roles. Han Hyo Joo, on the other hand, has proven herself to be a versatile actress, effortlessly transitioning from comedic and lovable roles to more serious and intense ones. Casting these two talented actors as the main leads in a sci-fi thriller is a genius move, generating significant buzz around the drama. The supporting cast is equally impressive, comprising phenomenal actors. Disney+'s decision to produce this sci-fi thriller marks a bold departure from traditional K-dramas, building on their successful efforts last year to create fresh and innovative content. This experimental approach is a game-changer, attracting K-drama fans seeking unique concepts and a break from clichéd stories. Disney+'s willingness to take risks has paid off, dominating Netflix in the process and redefining the K-drama landscape."
