Right off the bat, let me start off by saying this was the best show after watching so many disappointing ones in 2019. This show has finally come to an end and I am left with a plethora of emotions. I don't even know how to write this review without bursting into an unintelligible babble. It's my first time writing a review and for good reason.
CLOY was one of the most addicting dramas I've watched in a long, long time. I'm not the kind of person who gives a straight 10 to any drama. Also, i'm not the kind of person who watches dramas as they are airing. I like to wait until the whole show is out. But this drama was *very* different.
When i learned about the show, i wasn't too interested in it, even though the plot sounded kinda reminded me of DOTS. But i started watching it after the 4th episode aired, and trust me when i say this: I WAS HOOKED! Every single episode got me on the edge of my seat (literally and figuratively) as i was so eager to watch the next episode (hi Hyun Bin).
I LOVED the plot! The plot was a great mix of melodrama with the perfect amount of romance and comedy. I liked how this wasn't the cliche of the male lead being super rich and cocky and rough, and the girl being poor and soft. I liked how, the guy was innocent and the girl was strong. That's not to say that this was the most perfect and original plot i had heard of, but all the other things totally outdo the minute imperfections. I would've liked it better if the second couple was given a bit more screen time.
Cast and acting wise, i can't think of any actors who could've played the main (and lead) roles better than the original casting. Son Yejin and Hyun Bin had the kind of chemistry that just made your heart pound out of your chest. Let me take a moment to actually talk about how sweet and handsome and sexy and cute Hyun Bin is in this drama! oooohh I just CANNOT take it (but i want it). Moving on, the supporting actors contributed well to the positives of CLOY. Seo Jihye and Kim Jung Hyun made a great couple and i was rooting for them the whole time. But as i mentioned earlier, i really wanted more of them. Seo Dan's mother and uncle were in the Academy Award winning movie "Parasite", (which i realized a bit too late) and i really do commend them on their acting.
I don't really like a ton of OSTs and so, don't usually pay too much attention to them. But the OSTs were actually pretty decent in this show.
All in all, CLOY was EXCELLENT! Although it had those minute imperfections, it only helped the show seem more perfect in my eyes! It has definitely found a way into my list of favorites and it sure ain't leaving anytime soon! i would recommend this show to anybody who's contemplating. You have to watch it right now or you might seriously regret not doing so later! I don't even know why you are even contemplating is the first place! Seriously watch this NOW!!
