Loss Time Life (2019)

When I found this small remake of a Japanese dorama I was indeed intrigued , so I decided to give it a go

Now before you all watch, I would like to warn you that the 1st episode might be slow and at some parts annoying, mostly because of the lack of emotion of the male lead. Maybe it's his way to act on the character or maybe he really didn't grasp the concept, I'm not sure, but sometimes idols who tend to try the acting path find trouble doing so

On a second note this was only a 2 episode special, for me this concept would have worked better if it had been more explored with a couple more episodes, because there were definitely parts that needed closure and the end scene was just plain unecessary, if you ask me... maybe if they would make it with a different approach or an if

Also it felt rushed and lacking the right emotions in a certain way, if this was intended to have an angst approach it didn't hit me at all, but that might just be me, that had higher expetactions towards it

Story wise, I really find the theme interesting the whole value time before it's too late and finding our yesterdays and making them count, it's a moving concept that can be covered in many ways, again this was a short dorama, more like a movie in time wise that wasn't really well managed, leaving certain aspects lacking and other's overly used, for example: (MAYBE A SPOILER) the time lapse it happened on his loss time... like maybe it's just me but if I only had a certain ammount of time to solve my things, I wouldn't waste it at all, I would like to make it count, every single minute

In acting it was so so, the male lead soothing voice and poker expressions, might be part of the character but he could have built better emotional wise on the parts where he could show more, I mean where is the despair of the injustice he is facing all ALONE? Where is the denial, maybe in 5 stages? Where is the raw need of reaching, and running wild trying to fix everything because of his mistakes and poorly attitude towards his life, the female lead was somehow ok but also being a short dorama it could have built more, I found the acting of the Judo school champ way better in a certain way

For music, I wasn't that really tunned with it to be honnest, which only means it didn't move me, and blended well with the scenes and surroundings, or maybe I was lost into the story expecting it to get better

Overall it's a nice 2 episodes that one can see, although there's many lacking loop holes there, it's definitely not the worse I've ever seen.... If I would ever watch it again, maybe after some time trying to remember if I ever watched it, but I would probably still have the same view of it: It's OK but it could be BETTER

Hope this helps x'D it's my first time trying a review here, so I tried to avoid major spoilers ^^'
PS: sorry if I made any mistakes, trying my best in english :)

So-So

The only reason I watched this drama is because I miss Kwon Mina.

Yuvin acting was plain and weak from the start until middle, but got a lot better after that. As for Mina, this might be a bit biased but I always love her acting and she is too cute to handle. This is unexpected, but their chemistry looks good. They are so cute.

Cinematography looks beautiful and aesthetic, but the transition of the screen was awful. Same for the sound editing. In the outdoor, the actors voice was blocked by the 'wind sound' or something like that. So it's not really enjoyable watching it with earphones.

It's a sad story but I'm not really feel the sadness. It's not such a gold-memorable story because it's only had 2 episodes and a little bit rush forward. The first part is a little bit boring but the second half turned good. I wish the episode were a bit longer that shows more story from their past. But after all, the drama is enjoyable. As for the rewatch, I don't think I will do it because I rarely rewatch dramas. So, yeah that's my final score.
