Figment of My Imagination

Life in a script. A shared dream? A writer's imagination? What is reality, anyway?

I didn't mind this, as the viewer was shown from the start that the characters and story all came from the writer's mind.

Joy of Life let the viewers know directly that we were being transported from modern day into a fanciful story. The modern setting was short and only appeared at the beginning and ending of the drama and wasn't overly intrusive. As such, it didn't deceive the watchers, and, due to its fictional premise, the writers had free reign to mix modern with archaic at will, often to amusing and innovative ways.

I love this series. When Season 3 airs, I will revisit the rating. My entertainment factor was 9.5, but that's hard for me to give when I don't know how the story will end. It could, conceivably, reach ten stars.

A shared dream? A novel?

It was a dream?

The ending was an enigma. I suppose she dreamt it all? I really don't expect much from web series, but this managed to disappoint me with a muddled, disjointed ending.

This drama was my first Asian offering that used the "figment of imagination" ending I've come to dislike so very much. As such, it was more jarring because I wasn't accustomed to it. The ending didn't ruin the drama, but it certainly lessened my enjoyment of the overall experience.

I'm not a fan of time skips, although I understand some are necessary to the plot. But, dang, fifty years?! And the "figment of imagination" angle here was especially distressing to me.
