Summary
- A very good and entertaining entertainment.
- If you're looking for innovation, you'll have to keep looking.
- Because the series has such short episodes, you can't expect the main character to be shown in all his depth. This series is for the subway or bus. Something to watch during a break.
- Good actors, sweet moments.
- entertaining entertainment

In short: recommendation thumbs up!


The first impression is: this series is different. At the beginning of the 21st century, some movies were filmed with small, light cameras... from the view of the spectator. These shots had a distance so that you had the impression you were sitting at the next table. What was bad, most of these film shots were blurred or shaken. On purpose. When you stand somewhere, you don't stand rigidly either. But our brain doesn't perceive our movements that way. Neither does it when we close our eyes for a fraction of a second. But in the movie we perceive it and many viewers didn't like it. This film technique is called point-of-view (POV).
This series is a mixture. Here, it is sometimes filmed from the point of view of a viewer who is in the room, but without the shaking. The normal camera still dominates, as we have known it for decades.
The film technique is fresh, it's not ordinary, but it doesn't take getting used to either. It's bright, cool colors. And it all seems tidy.

I couldn't care less about the detailed scores of other reviewers here.
But the rather average score does surprise me.
The series is far above average.
Although everyone writes almost only good things about this series, they give lukewarm points. I think some are getting carried away. They are used to mainstream and want one-size-fits-all. OK. Let them.

The Story
Yes, nothing new, nothing old. The story could be replaced at will, with so many other dramas. If you expect milestones here, you will be disappointed. But let's face it. Those expecting milestones are definitely not looking for a film from the drama-entertainment league.

The Production
It might not be the most expensive. But it was wonderfully realized. There was love in the details.

Drama Scope/Length
This series has 8 very short episodes. And if you like, you can watch them in an afternoon. They are so short that some people watch the movie version. Either produce a series, or a movie. This series was produced as a series. So whoever watches it as a movie, watch out. You're watching a series and they have a different rhythm.

Acting
Because the series has such short episodes, there is no depth psychology. There's no time to accommodate that.
I find the minimal facial expressions downright ingenious. There are no clumsy dramatricks to give you room for your own thoughts.
Basically, I found everything very well implemented. The movie kisses would have to be rehearsed a bit.
What I often see in Asian productions is kissing, but the bodies are 3 kilometers away from each other. As a European, I'm totally disturbed by that. When a kiss, which is very intimate anyway, the bodies also have to touch. And I'm not talking about euphoric rolling while kissing in bed. But rather kissing while standing. The bodies don't have to move, but they do have to touch.

Script
Here I have a very small problem.
At the beginning, one is too sweet and pushy for me, then turns very in the penultimate and last episode. While the other one is quite aggressive at the beginning and wants to have his peace, he becomes totally sweet at the end. That worked. But it's a risk. I think it should have been written a little more gently.
I also think the third person should have had a little more attention. When my best friend enters the room, he gets attention and anything else is rude. But maybe you wanted to portray your emotional world in the quick. I mean, less is more. Either I take him out, or I go for him.

What do you think of the series? Let me know, write me or leave a comment. Have fun watching the drama!
