So good but yet so cringe... and badly paced
This is a fun drama with a whole lot of good (mostly Shin Hye Sun) and a whole lot of cringe... and some of dramalands oddest/worst pacing.
The drama starts off all fun and sweet with some darn good acting and what one could say as a gender fluid theme... While one could think there would be a lot of second hand embarrassment the writers of this drama managed to dodge most of these and built up a really bad ass lead. With a whole lot of interesting lives and people around them.
Our lead has had several ethnicities and genders throughout their lives, learned a whole lot of interesting traits and grown up to be a seemingly care free person with a slightly one track mind... Making way for som pretty good humour... Having a gambling addict as a father our lead knew that life number 19 was not going to be easy...
Our male lead, is ok, nothing mind-blowing about him but a nice mix of sweet and cold... The friends and found family around the two are lovely in every single way not at all annoying as some may be. And I especially loved the dramas take on biological family... Saying some times a former anamy becomes ones parent in the next life in those cases it is better to cut them off...
I also really liked the mysterious guy with bells, however his character got way to little screen time and felt cut short in a lot of ways.
The OST is amazing, cinematography lovely and there are a lot of fun lines.
All things that could have made me give this drama a high score as it was also an easy binge and entertaining most of time... Had it not been for what I have to say next this drama could easily have gotten a 9 or a 9,5.
HOWEVER
Pacing- At times so fast you do not understand what just happened other times so slow you wonder if you are watching the drama in slow motion.
Cringe- The characters are often seen side by side with other versions of them selves...
Anticlimactic-The feeling of "was that really all there was to it " took over me several times while watching this drama. So much build up for nothing.
So all in all an ok drama that could have been a lot better but is still entertaining to watch.
