Plot armor? Do they come in grey?

Somewhat short thoughts, not much i want to touch on besides the fact this is the most underrated drama I’ve been blessed coming across. From months of collecting dust on my watch list to weeks of stalling episodes as I didn’t want this series to end... sigh, to be fair the covers do not do this drama the justice it deserves in grabbing attention.

An extremely well written and compact story delivered at an explosive like pace. Characters so interesting and unique from one another you’re bound to find yourself rooting for the wrong sides every now and then. Strong and morally grey characterization making almost every death worth mentioning, farewell, betrayal, and new alliances a very impactful watch.

Now beware and/or also take a breath of relief, this drama loves it’s plot armor, and it doesn’t discriminate, while also showing its capability of finishing what was started. Have a specific favorite ally or foe? 9/10 you’ll be fully satisfied with whatever fate they come to, rather it’s before they meet their end, a grand return, an epic shootout saving an ally, bullet sponges, bombing party, survival of the written, you name it.

Different Dreams is a rich historically filled work of art. A series that makes the absolute most out of it’s comparatively small budget to popular hit dramas like Mr.Sunshine. A very dark and gritty tone wrapped around immersive struggles for independence, power, and peace. A must try for any historical fanatics out there. A memorable journey and new personal favorite worth much more acknowledgement and praise.
