Heartfelt, Earnest and Well-Performed

This is one of those rare dramas where I really have no notes. It’s really hard to comment when the narrative is nailed so effectively.

It’s really this beautiful story about self-love, found family and the enrichment people add to our lives. There are some sci-fi elements but they are very well done, the effects are solid and overall it enhances the story.
The acting is really great, you know it’s solid when you just get completely soaked into the character’s emotions. The leads have good chemistry and complement each other very well.
I was really amazed by Cha YeoWoon’s performance. His first impression is so murky, just a character at his absolutely lowest and his eyes express so much sadness. When he finally breaks down it’s like release since he’s been keeping it all pent up. And when he finally starts to build social nets, he GLOWS. It’s like his whole aura changes literally and figuratively, it’s incredible.

Music is used well. The right music at the right time and quiet when scenes need to breathe.

The ending was perfect. It flipped the narrative just enough to fully drive home the message this story was trying to tell.

Do yourself a favor and watch this.
