Pleasantly surprised on how the events unfold...
Finally a drama where photography truly shines! As someone who majored in photography, I am pleased to see this.
The fact that time travel here can be made through the photographs of that specific analogic camera is a genius move.
Blue Birthday, had the premise we all feared it might end up having.
A tragic event, followed by countless attempts to stop it, possibly resulting in a sad ending.
Still, that could not stop us from wanting to see more of this, and engage into all the time travels both Oh Ha Rin and Ji Seo Joon did so to discover the real culprit and hope that the past could be changed despite the price to pay for doing so.
After all there's always a price to pay for meddling with fate, - it's the law of equal balance - when changing something one must sacrifice something else as well. The characters here learned that several times and the hard way, and yet they persisted.
In the end the true price was time. For a decade of unfortunate events they tried so hard to prevent in order to find happiness.
We can say that this drama has what it takes. From the whole time travel being made into a simple view, it is also quite creative by using photographs and the whole saying of burning time again and again. Since, the person is only able to time travel once it burns the photograph with the date on it. Besides all that, the acting is actually decent and not entirely cringe. It delivers the story well despite the short amount of time each episode does have, and it even has it's cliffhangers here and there.
The OST is pretty good and catchy too. The cinematography is spot on.
I really enjoyed the scenes and both the past (2011) and present (2021) being shown back and forward, so to explain how things in fact changed based on their own actions and choices. They tried to use a bit of angst and thriller here, for the viewer to be able to create theories by the way they did the scenes and also by every single message left by the end of each episode.
I highly recommend it. It's a decent binge watch drama to be seen. It does not drag the plot that much, and it develops decently.
My favorite thing about this drama is that it highlights photography, because it's what unites the main characters together and the sole reason it is possible to go back in time and prevent a disaster. There's also the photography club scenes and the cute little shop that the old man owns, who seem to be connected. We live in a digital Era, but photography's roots are always in the making of chemicals and developing into paper inside a dark lab.
This brings me back good memories and also the yearning to do that once again. Because there's nothing more rewarding and thrilling than to develop a roll and see the pictures you took with that camera appear in that negative, and then being imprinted into paper as the image slowly appears and you put it to dry.
Black and white photos are forever timeless if you ask me.
