Masterpiece classic
Overall - a masterful drama and a must watch for any serious art lover. This drama got it all you ever expected and more, this is what I call a "real" or "true" kdrama - social issues addressed, poking at various things, and all with warmth and compassion, individual and community effort. A real masterpiece
YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT WITH VERY GOOD SUBTITLES BC THE DIALOGUES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS
THE DIALOGUES IN THIS DRAMA ARE AMAZING, SO COMPLEX AND DEEP. This is a masterful script. This drama packs in about 100 modern 2026 dramas, which are so simple, simplified, a lot more shallow and bland. Bc the Western audience cannot understand anything more than too simple.
This drama is really twisty and the pacing is super great. I really enjoyed watching the acting. Again, the acting in this one drama is worth acting in 100000 current dramas, where actor are super skinny, tired, stationary, poker faced, just boring and scary to watch... lifeless skeletons.
The actors here are phenomenal. And it is before the plasticization and being too skinny and pale. I really enjoyed their faces and bodies - for most part. ML actor must be a model? bc he was so skinny, I was like what??? but at least he was ENERGETIC, he could run, he smiled...
The plot is really interesting, the dialogues are amazing, the process... wow... what a social and medical commentary...
My only criticism is: Until ML ended up on the hospital, I was bothered with FL being rather too cold and standoffish, but then she made it up by helping him heal fast.
The last few episodes were a lot of crying scenes so I had to fast forward carefully so that I would not miss the dialogues.
I loved the ending, which was into the future, so we KNOW for sure how the story went ...
Overall - a masterful drama and a must watch for any serious art lover.
Wow I started watching kdramas a little bit in 2019 and then during COVID I turned into a dedicated watcher lmao
Wow old kdramas are SO MUCH BETTER than new kdramas!!!!!!! This one is a masterpiece. I have seen all eps and this is wow kdrama, so complex, deep, sophisticated, bringing up all kinds of issues, this is a great social commentary - as usual, always expected of real kdramas...
Real kdramas are going extinct, fast, as Koreans and foreigners making money off Koreans are greedily trying to make $$$$$ by selling kdramas in the West and thus new kdramas are WHITEWASHED, super simplified, made bland, to not piss off anyone
Sad. THE GENOCIDE OF KDRAMAS IS IN FULL PROGRESS and I am afraid they t will be extinct soon. The new "kdramas" are not really kdramas, they are Kwood - shallow, shocking, without dialogues, without character arc, without humor and poking fun at stuff, without resolving it with warmth and compassion, individual and community efforts.
At this point I a watching old kdramas and skipping the new ones, and when I see the old ones... I will have nothing left to watch
