Different Than Expected but Not Bad
Lovers of the Red Sky was a drama I was anticipating since I heard about it and I can't say it lived up to the trailers but I still consider it a good drama overall!
Story:
- LotRS started off really strong! I loved all the episodes until the middle of the series. My excitement waned as the weeks went by but I still wanted to watch.
-The plot became kinda stagnant mid-series & I think part of it has to do with the majority of the story being told in the 1st episode. I actually liked the fact they did that until I realized there was nothing really left for the viewers to find out... we basically watched them find everything out which got boring, especially when it seemed like the characters should have known more at certain points.
- There's things revealed that the watchers don't know but it's minimal compared to how much we already know.
- The chemistry between KYJ & AHS was low-key wasted because the romantic moments between them were minimal. I wish I could have seen more of them in love and not fighting for their lives/ worrying about other things every second they were together lol. With that said, the last episode made me really happy in regards to them <3
Acting:
- The acting was good... KYJ overacted a bit, AHS seemed like he wasn't blind at times, GM (3rd prince) was kind of stiff to me (lack of a better word) but overall I commend all of the actors for the work they put in this project and I can't wait to watch them in the future! *I think the writing kind of takes fault here and the show's flaws overall*
P.S. The children actors were AMAZING!!!! <3
Music: The entire OST was beautiful, I think my favorites have to be When Your Tears Wet My Eyes by Ailee and A Long Sleep by M.C. the Max.
Rewatch Value: I don’t rewatch shows but if I did I might go back and watch the main leads moments
Overall, this is a decent drama, I was just expecting more. I think the writing takes the most fault in this drama but the premise and ending make up for the lagging middle to me. I think it's worth trying to see if you'll like it! If you're a fan of either of the main leads I recommend you try it :)
