equanimity
A twist towards the end
I chose to watch this drama because it is in the fantasy genre with a simple plotline.
After finished watching, yes, it was fantasy, yes, it was simple, nothing complicated, but what surprised me was the twist towards the end as stated in my headline. That twist actually made me gave more points to this drama. It was already quite good, but the twist kind of made me sit up and look forward to watching.
As for negative remarks about this drama, they would be, illogical part whereby the female lead, after having drunk the potion to forget all her unhappiness with the male lead, could just recall her past with him by just looking at a piece of biscuit the male lead often ate and on that piece of biscuit was magically written her name and that of the male lead, like xxxx love yyyy. Seriously I thought that was like huh? just like that she remembered EVERYTHING about him?? That simple? ok, perhaps the scriptwriter thought that part wasn't important but what happened after was more important, so how she remembered him was just quickly and effortlessly done and over with. Kind of illogical to me.
And the kissing scenes between the male and female leads were not that good, especially the ending when the female lead was going to leave the male lead for good, that was a goodbye kiss which was supposed to be filled with utmost sadness, but it was just closed lips touching, no passion or sadness, they were really just 'acting', I didn't feel touched at all. These minute details do not seem much but because they were the main leads and this romance and love between them does make up a huge part of the entire drama.
Nevertheless, all in all, I still enjoyed this drama with the simple storyline, the twist towards the end, the heartwarming aspects, the funny scenes were entertaining enough, these were enough for the total enjoyment of the drama, but no wow factor, no fantastic feel, no unforgettable love or romance, no particularly terrific acting by the cast, just a simple storyline, normal pacing, not boring, with some heartwarming scenes and a twist at the end.
