A good storyline ruined

This drama is one of those dramas which show one of the most intriguing synopsis and when you start watching the same with that high expectations you are bound to feel disappointed. And this drama is no different.
Having seen the negative reviews beforehand, I went to watch the drama with little to no expectations and thanks to which I found it a nice watch .
Starting off with the oh so average acting , you can feel at few scenes the actors including main leads either exaggerated the the required emotion or didn't show any . Which is why I think the casting of main leads was not satisfactory. I mean at some point the supporting actors were more compelling than the leads (no offence).Hence, the acting was one of those reasons which ruined the drama with so much potential .
Even if I have watched or prefer watching high production shows, but here personally I had no complaints about the productions or the cinematography. Nonetheless the storyline really sucked . The show started showing potential from the start itself by the gripping side plots and I was waiting for the neat execution related to the same . In spite of that you end up with loads of plot holes all thanks to the poor writing .
All in all what I've got to say is you can definitely watch the drama as I did with no expectations and I'm sure you'll like it because no matter what the drama was a good watch and I didn't feel it like a waste of time ( or the efforts my eyes put to stay up throughout). Well then I'll take my leave and hope you guys like watching it and have a wonderful day ahead.
XOXO

Same title, different show

Having loved the season 1, season 2 was a huge let down(atleast for me).
Starting off with the irrelevant side characters & their storylines, of which I personally was bored of ,adding fuel to the fire was the given screentime to them which really pissed me off. Even with Hyun soo, idk why they made him disappear for the entire 3 episodes for goodness sake. I started to wonder who exactly was the main character ( Hyun soo or that Yi kyeong's child ). Bluntly speaking the show lacked the main storyline to focus on, it was just bunch of random side plots which will start to make sense in season 3( that's what they say).

For me , I only liked the scenes of original characters from S1 and chan young ngl and spare me with that soldiers bs we could've done it with few less of 'em.

Well that was that from me , and hope the review resonated with yours and if not that's even better.
Till then bbye..

A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE!

At first I thought of this drama as any other highly hyped drama but even then I had high hopes for the show after watching the thrilling synopsis and trailer which is quite hard to find at atleast something which is to my liking.. bu oh lord ! this drama actually disregarded every little doubts that I had, leaving me astonished at such a masterpiece..I would prefer calling it an experience more than a drama given that I enjoyed every moment of it.
Well ngl I was quite contemplated towards the casting of the main characters, not doubting their acting skills but more like them fitting their respective roles perfectly or not and to my pleasant surprise they totally served it!! that I can't even imagine anyone else playing their roles... And ofc I don't need to mention the side characters and the guest roles, as we all know what they are capable of after being such renowned actors and actresses and we totally acknowledge it..
overall everything about the show was fav.. but what needs special mentioning is the exceptional story and the enlightening message ( though I found ridiculing the choices made by Yi jae were rather passive aggressive and demeaning which can demoralize the person suffering from the same )(to which we all know the increasing suicide rates in not only Korea but in the world as a whole).
This drama removes the dark tinted glasses of hopelessness from people who view the world and the god as someone biased towards some privileged people and ultimately gives up on living through the inevitable hardships of life..but this drama makes them see the world through a different perspective where there are both 'sunny and rainy days', where no one is endlessly happy or sad where giving up on life out of extreme stress and hopelessness is not an answer . This show shows us that life is beautiful as it is with its flaws and scars, we just need to learn to accept it.

This show for me was like an affirmation to my beliefs towards life and god and I absolutely loved it!!
Hope you guess will find something positive within, too till then bye-bye
XOXO

Putting everything to their rightful place

I had this drama in my watchlist for God knows how long, but I somehow managed to force myself to watch it and thank goodness I did.

First off, let's talk about the thing that caught my eye from the very beginning and i.e the CINEMATOGRAPHY. And oh god! I can't tell you guys how blessed my eyes were after watching this angelic mixture of insane camera shots and that ethereal lighting placement. And to continue it throughout the entire show must not have been an easy feat.
Well the second thing on my list would be the story. And let's be honest the story wasn't something record breaking or exceptional. I have watched many dramas with more complex and dramatic plots but what rather makes this drama really phenomenal is its execution. But hey ! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the story isn't interesting but rather that the show follows a single stem of main plot and gives us with a constant branched flowers of entertainment which I personally couldn't get over with.

But if this still isn't enough for you to spare some time for this show then trust me the acting of this army of good-looking cast (yeah you heard me right hehe) has it all of what you'll ever need. But what really had me in awe was the acting of Kim Hye soo and oh lord !! where were her other other dramas ,where was she till now . She really has my respect for her acting .Every little scenes of her were admirable but fav ones were those crying scenes yes those crying scenes(heh funny).

Tbh , there is still a lot more to write but I really am a busy person (I'm not) so I'll stop . Well then, I'll take my leave and hope you guys have a wonderful day ahead ..
XOXO

Shallow romance 101

I really didn't want to do this but I expected no less from a romance drama with Song Kang as the lead (cause I didn't like any of them so far). This drama really met my expectations
...
...
as another bad romance drama of 2023.

And honestly , I've grown quite accustomed to it knowing that it's either me who don't like kdrama romance anymore or them who aren't able to fill the gaps of romance in their 'single' fan's hearts.

Well I kinda knew the type of romance they were going to show after watching the lack of chemistry between the leads being shoved to my face just from the trailer.
Uhm but.. I've got to give it to the visuals by the way, cause everything was just so beautiful . I mean the leads alone were breathtakingly beautiful and that's it ...or maybe I liked the comedy too but that's it..that's it nothing more.

Rest all of it looked really bleak to me. I could not feel the connection with leads, it was not gripping at all as I tried to skip through episodes. Forget the romance part but the entire plot alone was messed up by emotion lacking tropes and cliches.

All in all I think the show was really shallow to me and idk how the heck people are actually liking it, well good for them, anyway I'm not going to wait for the rest of the episodes as they are really predictable and I can't bear to see my eyes suffer. Well then I'll take my leave and hope you have a wonderful day ahead~
XOXO
