A little too bizarre at times, but still a decent watch
'Happy And', a decent watch for someone who may be experiencing a slight drama slump and is looking to return back to watching dramas, due to it's focus on the vast range of different stories with multiple mains in a 'miniseries' type format. While some stories are certainly greater than others, they all focus on love, relationships, marriage etc. with some exploring this with the 'affair' route, and others without. I did quite like the seriousness of the relationships, although some storylines were just too bizarre for me to take seriously. Production quality was also pretty decent for 2011 standards, and I also liked the involvement of the sweet but subtle OST that lingered here and there.
Now, the acting. We have four female leads here, and I believe all four are involved in three separate stories each - while some support actors were in more than one story - confusing, isn't it? One thing I liked about the acting, when it worked at least, really showed the ability of the actors and their versatility playing different characters. However, this didn't work all the time, as some performances weren't that good (although I would be curious to see each female lead in another drama to see more of their acting). Acting wasn't terrible though, and like I said, for the most part, it was good!
I managed to finish this just in time. Netflix's 'last day to watch' is tomorrow on December 14th, 2021 in my country. Let's hope, if you're wanting to check out this drama (which I do recommend) , you'll be able to find a platform to watch it on.
