Holy Grail Drama
Having watched this drama the 4th times and I would probably rewatch this again in many more years to come, this drama no doubt sits in my holy Grail list.
Evaluating a drama based on its rewatch value is an interesting concept. Most dramas would not last repeated evaluation and scrutinization. Even harder if the drama is able to evoke the same feelings and tension on a rewatch. This drama does these for me. Big time. I still cry like a baby on some of the scenes. And I watched with glee when the leads finally connect romantically.
Jung So Min is just so so amazing. I remember really loving her in Alchemy of Souls and the major disappointment when her role was switched to a different actress on the second season. She has the most expressive and beautiful eyes. They carry myriad of emotions, and in this drama, straddled happiness and sadness with such talent and conviction.
Each time I watch this drama I noticed new things that I love. The 4th time round I really enjoyed the gentle and kind nature of the journalist who conducted interviews. His questions were so on point.
The Lavender group a major star in this cast too. They are almost as good as my fabulous Reply 1988 family.
Watch this if you have not seen it. I have seen some negative comments about this drama and I am not entirely sure why. It tugs my heartstrings repeatedly and I really wish there are more dramas like this, as well as more of Jung So Min.
