RiqueXinw:
On June 7th 2024 I rated To Be Continued an emphatic, subjective and crazy 10.
I finished this show just minutes ago, and had to go back to finally read your review!
I don't think there's much I can add. Most of the show was slow, particularly episode one, leaving me with the impression that this would be a boring watch. In reality I became fond of the characters as we got more of their story, and was intrigued by both of their reactions to their reunion (specially with Ji punching Achi).
Episode 7 was stellar. The acting. The delivery. The way the scenes are interwoven between present and past. The first NC scene was so well thought of. This whole episode made me emotional. I agree that it totally changed how much I liked this show. I will actually add this to my recommendation list, because I need other's to watch it.
Another thing I really liked about this show was how "homely" it felt. Despite being the love story of a celebrity and a doctor, it felt so warm... I believe this was achieved through a mix of the soundtrack, the setting (Ji's family home, the market, the schools, the bridges Ji and Achi liked to sit on, even the organic farm), and the use of flashbacks.
I too wish we could have gotten something out of the side couple but I did see the post about the special! Maybe we'll get some good stuff there~
