Dramas Completed: 2024

It's been a long while since I last completed a J-drama. This was a nice slice of life family themed drama. I would have enjoyed it more if I connected with the characters more. 

Decent thriller despite rushed ending. 

I liked the story concept even though it's not something I would typically go for. Acting from the main cast was good overall. I wasn't drawn in as much as I wanted to be and some parts dragged out more than necessary (mostly from the back story...). Maybe I'm just in the minority where I wasn't wowed by it but it was a decent enough watch. 

The posters here are accurate showing the distance between the 2 lead characters (where all I wanted was more screen time of them together xD...). Overall it was a solid drama with good cinematography and pacing was steady. I loved the OSTs which created a nice ambience that complemented the slow build up of the romance. I enjoyed the role and performance of Namkoong Min. I couldn't finish one of his previous dramas so maybe it came down to finding the 'right' drama. Acting was good from the main cast. There were some frustrating flaws which could have been avoided.
