Whoa, what a fascinating jdrama this was. Long Love Letter had me at the edge of my seat during each episode. And it felt as though each episode ended on a cliffhanger. Man, what a ride!
The title of the drama was a little off-putting for me. I mean, Long Love Letter? Ugh, I thought this would be some boring mushy-gushy eyeroll-worthy type of cheesy romance drama. The kinds I hate. But it wasn't. The romance is there, but that's not what captivated me. The storyline. So incredibly interesting. I enjoy sci-fi stuff like this, so this was a real treat. Basically it's about how some people who were inside of a high school for makeup exams and whatnot disappeared (along with the school) after an earthquake. There's just this big gaping hole of where the school use to be. And it's just so interesting, because we wanna know why did they disappear, how did they disappear, how and when will they get back (if they even get back), and where did they go? It's a fight for survival for the people who were left behind in the high school, and a huge mystery to the people who were still present after the earthquake. There are obviously more plot points and themes interwoven into this drama, but I won't delve into it least I spoil anything. And trust me, u do not want to be spoiled.
The only downfall of this drama, and for some it's a major one, is the ending. Some may find it horrible, and understandably so, but I'm not one of those who do. It's a little disappointing, sure. And it definitely affected my rating (this drama could have easily been a 10), but I understand where the writers wanted to go with this. I really can't say much else because everything is a spoiler. Just know it is worth the watch, with a fantastic cast, great acting, and an intriguing story. It really pulls u in.
