New ingredients, but surprisingly delicious dish
I have never written a review on this site, but I feel obliged to write this given some of the harsh critics and how I fell in love with this series despite a relatively new pair of leads.
The plot is not really new as a theme. We have had City of Stars and Lovely Writer that talked about entertainment industry. However, the core of the plot about making choices between love and dream, sacrifices, and others are such a fresh breeze. I also love how the relationship of the main pair is a healthy one from start to finish - not a sham-turned-romantic and one-sided love, etc.
Keen / Moo is the star of the show. I cried nearly everytime he was in tear. He reminded me of Fourth from MSP, but much more dramatic. His acting is also natural in my view. I hope GMM continues to push him forward.
Sea / Kang is a bit stiff in my opinion, but I can see development of his acting skill through the series. I love the chat between Kang and Moo on EP12 the most. I feel that was when he has the best expression in the entire show. While I am not the biggest fan of his acting skill, I must say that the cool, calm, and less expressful acting somewhat suits the Kang character from the original novel. He somewhat reminded me of Tinn from MSP to a certain degree.
Lastly, the second Pair of Yos and Tae was a good match. I must say Im quite annoyed and perplexed how the two lived together for a year without discussing how they are in love with each other. However, I still adore Aun and would love to see more of him in main role.
I hope GMM gives us more KeenSea. The two are really good together!
