STORYLINE: 9/10 - CHARACTERS: 9/10 This was my first ever none western scifi show and I enjoyed it for it entertained as well as provided me with thought. Long Love Letter portrays a possibility of what could happen to the human race and once we got to the school scenes because suddenly both teachers and students’ behaviour to survive defers from the typical manner usually portrayed in school based dramas or anime which continuously had me glued onto the screen that I finished the whole drama in one sitting. The tremor happens at the ending of the first episode leaves you weirded out in regards of what genre the drama belonged to because here was me thinking it was going to be the same old school based plots. What happens to those within the school totally directs this drama in a whole new genre of SURVIVAL and CONFUSION with not only the characters, but myself too. Despite its not yet worthy graphics that were used back in 2002; they usage of storytelling and camera angles actually managed to make me tense up at times. ACTING: 8.5/10 The chemistry between Kubozuka Yosuke and Tokiwa Takako seems so natural for them that it is that more saddening how the drama concludes their relationship. Additionally, you can tell that for most the student’s it the role was new to them so they efforts I commend for they at least managed for most of the drama to make me believe. With Ichihara Hayato, However, I would like to praise The acting was not bad to watch Kubozuka Yosuke for his effort to try look older than his fellow actors whom portrayed the students but are actually near his age in real life. But in honesty they are moments were his young looking face failed him. Ps his face when he sulked is so cute to watch. As for the other characters MUSIC: 4/10 The music really didn’t suit drama but it is funk which helps you get out the funk the drama ends up putting you in. FAVORITE CONCEPT: Ending of episode 8 was my favourite for it provided both joy and hope to a very sad reality they were living. PERSONAL THOUGHT: As humans we have unfortunately become unaware of the earth we need to survive, instead we treat it as both our source of life and dumping place. CONCLUSION: In a gist, Long Love Letter drama is Korean’s attempt at recreating a similar survival plot as that in Lost (American TV series). Therefore you should give watch this drama a go if you enjoy genres such as HINT of COMEDY – CHEESINESS – CUTENESS – LOVE – MEMORIES – MYSTERY – DEATH – RESILIENCE – HOPE - SCIENCE FICTION – MELO DRAMA - EARTH – PEACE – TIME – SPACE – FAMILY – SCHOOL – FOOD – SURVIVAL – FEAR – KIDNAPPING – SENSIE – STUDENTS – FUTURISTIC.
