What you expect.
I have nothing exceptionally good or bad to say about this one.
In lack of much else does the sentence - and my chosen headline - sum it all up pretty well; it's exactly what you expect it to be, with the possibility of more chemistry than anticipated.
STORY: 6/10
There was a lot left to be wished for in terms of characters development, fleshed-out story, tied ends and engagement, but it'll get one point above clean in-between for not being a high school drama. I'm a big fan of historical dramas, and for just a handful of 10-minute episodes, did it do alright. It actually didn't feel very rushed, something that even larger productions easily fail at most times, and that's also something that deserves a highlight. That and the openness about their "situation" between the two main characters actually made me very content.
The general plot intrigued me in its cliche glory, and I'm left feeling like I got exactly what I expected.
My one wish would've been if they skipped maybe one of their attempt at drama and took those precious minutes to give other happenings a more sincere closure, as they all felt like they were just left once the gasp-inducing moment was over.
ACTING/CASTING: 7/10
I wish this had been a large-production situation because the two leads held some incredible chemistry? If given the time and opportunity I genuinely believe these two would be in the top 10 pairings, at least on my end. Something about how they held themselves around each other and looked at one another felt very real and carried this series through and through. The majority of the script was quite cringy, but when they interacted it didn't even phase me.
Overall casting was good, no one really shone or stood out but again, these shorter series don't exactly have the room for it. So using that as a grid does a 7 feel about right.
MUSIC: 5/10
It was your general lower budget drama OST, nothing which sent your eyes watering but also didn't go completely bonkers either haha.
REWATCH VALUE: 1/10
Once is enough. You won't get much else out of a second watch besides maybe picking up on yet another loose end.
OVERALL: 5/10
It takes no time to watch, so do please give it that 1.5 h that it takes to get through. While not mind-blowing is it sweet, calm and completely freed of those awkward moments taken from thousand different angles where something painfully awkward happens.
