A wonderfully done realistic web drama. WATCH IT! You won't regret it.
I just clicked this drama on a whim as it popped up in my YT recommendations. But I never imagined I'd be writing a review for the first time in my life just for this drama. I want other people to know how good this drama is. I've rewatched this drama for the fourth time until I decided to write this review.
First, there are still some loopholes in the story so I can't give it a perfect 10. But the overall feel I got while watching this drama is just wonderful. It shows how complicated human relationships can be since we can't be completely and truthfully honest with each other. There were some scenes where it gets confusing sometimes but when you get to watch the whole series (which can be done in one sitting btw), you can understand the whole purpose of those scenes.
The acting is good, considering most of them are rookie actors. (plus I don't know any of them nor have I seen their other works). The casting for the male lead is perfect. He embodies his character. I just LOVE him. I'm gonna follow his other projects in the future <3 I feel conflicted with the female lead. They have very good chemistry together but there are just some scenes where I feel a bit awkward, especially when its just the female lead. Her acting gives me "acting" vibes. Like she's clearly "acting". Its not bad its just I am used to watching actors and actresses who feel natural onscreen.
I don't even remember the music/OST anymore as I am more engrossed with the story and acting. But the rewatch value is 10 stars lol. I don't usually rewatch whole series, I just watch clips or episodes of those I really like. But this one I've watched the whole series from start to finish again and again. Well, one factor must be that its only 8 episodes long (short?) and I can watch it in one sitting lmao.
I'll stop here. I never imagined I could write such a lengthy review. Just proves how much I love this series even with all its loopholes <3
PS: WATCH IT! YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
