Planet Love
I was worried about this first because of the reviews/comments I read online. Now that I've watched it, I'm glad I did. I get that it could not do as well because the promotions described it as dark, mysterious, sexual, aesthetic and what not, but that's about it.
Story :
The story was well-thought and well-paced. I don't usually prefer slow dramas so it wasn't hard for me to continue this. Although in some places you could make a vague guess what's going to happen, it wasn't that predictable. In the last 2-3 episodes, I cried until I couldn't breathe as they reminded me of myself(lol). At times, I got frustrated of the plot, so I'm giving it a 8.5.
Acting/Cast :
This drama had some amazing actors who did their job well.
1. JOY has some skills I got so say. The emotions she displays are varied. Feeling of first love, true love, sadness, betrayal, she could do it all, you just name it. Her acting convinced me to watch her other dramas. She plays EUN TAE HEE.
2. DO HAN also did a good job. He only displayed 3 emotions ~ love, sadness and betrayal. However, he did a great job. His chemistry with Joy is noticeably okay. He plays KWON SHI HYUN.
3. GA YOUNG's character did not do her justice to be honest. Don't get me wrong, she did alright but it's the character. I get it was supposed to be a strong and imposing but I just couldn't handle the things she did. I liked her better in 'Eulachcha Waikiki'. She plays CHOI SOO JI.
4. MIN JAE did a commendable role. Out of the 3 friends, he was the most thoughtful. Min Jae plays it as well as it suits him. He plays LEE SE JOO.
Keeping other actors and characters in mind, I'm giving it a 9.0.
Music :
The music is the saving grace, honestly. Many were instrumentals by artists like Fara Effect, which suited the scenes accordingly. DK's Missed Connections/Me First is my top pick. The vocals, background music, it's usage were just perfect. MOMOLAND's Hug Me is also recommended. It's a light, fluffy song used for happy moments so it's alright.
For music, it's a 10.
You can re-watch if you really want to. Like really. I myself don't re-watch dramas so I don't really know about this one too. So, it's a 7.0.
Overall, it's an 8.5. It got lower because of a few characters and twists that I couldn't handle.
