Romeo and Juliet - Korea Edition
I heard great things about this drama, and it lived up to the hype!
At first, I was bored by the North Korea beginning segments with Seri being there. I had to watch it in 2x speed. But things quickly started picking up around episode 10. I then felt hooked into the action, the romance, and the cast members, especially the lovable comrades. Them entering South Korea reminds me of the drama Rooftop Prince, and they had such funny cute scenes!
My favorite part of this drama is the cast. Everyone was chosen so well, with such amazing chemistry and acting skills. I also watched this after the main leads got married, but after watching it, I am not surprised they did. Their chemistry was off the charts. I was cringed by the cheese at first, but when it got to the melodrama of the romance, I could feel the love and longing seeping through their expressions. And they are such a beautiful matching couple, I just kept admiring their visuals! Seri was also surprisingly not as annoyingly damsel in distress as I thought. I wasn't a fan of her at first, but she proves herself to be very confident and smart!
My second favorite part is the music. There is some Disney magic music going on, as I felt the feels with every soundtrack playing.
The storyline was standard. It's a very interesting concept to see into North Korea and its way of life though, as fictional as it may be. The second lead couple and their story was really just filler. They didn't really link with the main couple. They also really brush by a lot of plot holes, but this drama is expected to be super unrealistic anyways, from the moment Seri crash lands in North Korea.
I'm going to miss this cast, its music, and its feels. It was unbeatable!
