There are no words for how much I loved "White Christmas". My expectations before watching this were already fairly high, but this drama somehow managed to go beyond them.
Story: Are monsters born or made? This is the driving question behind the story, and this question is the catalyst for everything that happens. Many dramas and movies have attempted to answer this question, but none of the ones I've seen have satisfied me like this one. In the first three episodes, the narrator keeps saying that they had to become monsters to fight the monster, but there wasn't much going on in that front. All the main parts of the show take place after episode 3.
I loved how all the characters were fleshed out- that they were all similar but all different at the same time. They became real people to me as I watched the show, and reacted to each situation in a way that both agreed with their personality, and still showed their transformation into monsters.
Acting: The cast was all new, but their performances were stellar.
Music: The music befit the show- dark and dramatic at times, loud and angry at others. I particularly enjoyed when they played the same song (sorry guys, I couldn't find the name) during all the dramatic scenes.
Rewatch Value: The whole reason I liked the show was because it was unpredictable and unafraid to venture into the deepest parts of itself to answer the question. If I already knew what was going to happen beforehand. the show would have been kind of boring.
Overall: Brilliant directing, superb cast and a thought-provoking story. The last episode has a plot hole, but I didn't feel like that affected the story overall.
