I LOVE THIS KDRAMA!!

First of all, I am not a fan of most of kdrama nowadays. Maybe for the plot wise, the main characters, side characters, the cinematographies and the story as a whole, I am not the avid kdrama fan. But, this drama really captured me left and right starting from epd 1 to epd 18. We only have 2 episodes left this season and hoping for the best. The criteria I always prefer when come across for a drama or movie 1) the acting 2) the well-written story 3) cinematography and I don't mind a slow burn drama if it is beautifully done by the writers, producers and actors.

Now, let's dive into the characters. ML in this drama is very rare in the kdramaland. He is honest and straightforward, kind, trustworthy, smart, a protector but at the same time very childish-like, sometimes weak. Don't we all? He is loved by many people who willingly will protect him at any cost. I appreciated the writers didn't make him a perfect ML characters. It is fun time to watch him grow into someone bigger and stronger.

Now, the FL. What can I say, the actress slayyyy the roles. Definitely difficult to do 3 different roles but she is a pro. You will love her and if you're not there is something wrong with you. I love how she is the contrast of the ML but they are the same nevertheless. Hard-headed peoples. They take time to warm to each other until they are finally understand each other with just their eyes😘.

Finally, the characters. They are unique and distinct characters in every way and no one is useless. SML is not a toxic character. No one is toxic hopefully 🀞. This drama will be just as fun with just these characters. I love the writers made the bad characters not so bad characters but the evil characters is just as evil.

The plot. I think I can agree in the midway, the plot kind of draggy with unnecessary stories but I enjoyed them so much. I don't know how they gonna wrap up the remaining 2 episodes. The comedy is on point, not too over the top or too cringy. Nevertheless, it is well-written and beautifully done by the writers. The VFX are awesome. I just love the OSTs. They are onπŸ”₯πŸ”₯. Definitely, I will rewatch this drama so many times.

Edited after part 1 finale:-

I just love the major cliffhanger for this finale. The preview for the part 2 looked great though. Although I felt utterly sad for JSM to leave the show but I also anticipated with the OG Naksu to come back.

I used to watch open/sad ending for the most of the series and this one will be good considering there will be part 2. I just hope all the plot holes will be answered in the next part. I know many viewers were disappointed with the cliffhangers, plot holes, JSM is no longer in the drama but for me I will patiently waiting for the next part. And I hope you guys too πŸ˜‰.

See you again in December. πŸ™†
