I Promised You the Moon: The Documentary (2021)

NIce to see what happened between the scenes

Just like my review of I Told Sunset About You Documentary, I think it was really nice see and how the main as well as supporting leads went through several workshops and how the actual shooting took place.

Although I IPYTM had less challenging scened to take compared to ITSAY (such as the underwater kissing scene, shooting under the heavy rain, or shooting the love scene in a crowded area), it was still nice to see how everything was perfectly crafted to make the story line touch us, the audience. All the actors/actress had to really be able to perform and act out several emotional nuances within the story, which I know is not that easy. One moment the actors had to show how sad or angry they are, and yet at the same time had to subtly express the love within themselves. I particularly like the part where PP had to really hit Billkin with a bouquet, but had difficulties actually doing that. Also after a real emotional scene and the director said "cut", you can just see how their expressions do not go back to "normal". I think this is what acting is all about.

I know this would happen in other films/drama series too, but to see how every scene was carefully and seriously planned and executed in IPYTM (and ITSAY) was really a great thing to see.
