Surprise of this year for me...one special series which touched me deeply
When I first watched the trailer, I was surprised how theatrical it was, how can you connect Babylon and modern times. So I watched first episode when they aired and I was hooked. Many people stopped watching after the first 2 episodes, because they were hilarious. But truth is, they are really hilarious and so funny...let us see "In my presence, not a strand of Chen Mei Ru's hair will drop to the ground" "I don't fall for his money, it's his charm of scheming, it melts me" I had to roll my eyes and smiled from ear to ear...
BUT than next episode aired and the hilarious funny story changed to story with many deep emotions and problems, which stayed hidden for a long time...time to heal is what the characters needed to change to live for real, to accept who they are and what they wish. And when you think how the story will continue and you know you think you know all, than next episode airs and you get fully new direction, which changes the life of all 6 characters.
Is there a male and female lead? At the beginning I would say yes...with time I would definitely say NO. This story has no leads, three couple, three love stories and everyone of them is wonderful and unique and although all are fully connected and interacting with each other in beautiful way.
I cried, smiled, cheered with all of them and fell in love with these amazing characters and also with the actors, who did awesome job. At the end of the show, I was really happy I could see the love the actors put into these characters.
The quality of the drama is wonderful, great shots, camera work, also the colors were beautiful, costumes and the style fitted the drama very well. The OST is also very touching and I am listening to it daily.
Would I have changed something? Yes the end, I heard there was different finale too...I would love to see that one more. Although the end was well done...it didn't give me what I wanted from a finale. This is the reason the story got 8.5/10 points from me. I would so love to read the original script..
At the end, I have wonderful comforting feeling in my heart and am happy to count this drama to my favourites now. It touched me deeply and maybe healed some of my own little wounds on its way.
