Dalgona (2020)

like watching a movie in 2x

the plot of the story is very good and I really like it, it could easily have been a very popular drama hat had hitted and everyone talked about my opinion, I would have liked it a lot)
it becomes very clear as you watch that the budget of the drama was very tight, the episodes were short, the shots were sad and some of the actors weren't the best. (there is not much to do about this, but if they had had more money and so on it could have become really nice)
the best way to describe watching this drama, would be watching a movie in 2x speed.
either way it is a good story, and definitely watch worthy since you wont be too annoyed with the bad shooting of the scenes all there isn't really many scenes.

Not Good Enough

" Dalgona " was, unfortunately, one of those Korean Web Dramas that just miss the spot. The story had potential but never lived up to them, and the love story was less than half baked.

Dalgona starts okay, with impressive editing and an opening scene that catches the eye, as it is intense and promising. You want to know what happens to the girl and you want her to get back at her bully. However, that revenge plot did not give the satisfaction that one should hope for. Part of it is due to the short length. And that could have been a solid excuse, cause, yes, this is a web drama and one should not expect it to give you an in-depth representation of the story if other short web dramas had handled their stories (some of them quite similar to this one) so nicely that the viewer didn't felt their short length. Alas, this is not the case. That is why most of the other plotlines, like the romance, were rushly handled and awkwardly concluded.

On another note, the performances were enjoyable.

So, overall, 2.5 out of 10.
