La La Land
I started this drama for 2020 Watch challenge and wasn't expecting anything from it. But I'm so glad I decided to watch this drama.
This drama is seriously good. It's more of a slice of life drama, with vibes similar to that of Korean's reply series. I would never compare this drama to any others because the feelings this drama gave me compared to others with similar plots were completely different. This wasn't a rom com, nor abt timetravelling, this was more on friendships, regrets and relationships between every character surrounding the male lead. Though I still question what was the point in main lead going back to the past, I still loved this drama a lot.
It is very slow paced and focuses on relationship building rather than moving the story forward so some might find it slow or boring. But to me, this drama taught me a lot of life lessons. Sometimes, you just don't understand what is happening around you unless you are looking at it from a third POV or when someone tells you about it in the future. This is how the main lead realises that a lot of things he thought he knew in the past were actually not really the case when he looked at it from the POV of a teacher's, watching himself and his friends slowly change.
Lastly, it taught me how important friendships are and how to treasure them. Saying goodbye is never easy, but something you can't avoid as life goes on. T . T
I hope everyone will give this drama a try. Like I said, it's slow, but worth the watch. Don't go in with expectations from other time travelling dramas because only the start is similar, but the focus on this drama is not the rom com nor timetravelling but the relationships.
