How much time do you have left?
Time is a drama that deals heavily with the weight and importance of time, and really questions one's own use of time itself.
Spoken through a gripping story filled with love, betrayal, and death - the story deals with 4 characters, who's own unique stories intertwines in unfortunate fate.
While it appears as if the antagonist is clear from the get go, the audience is given a chance to sympathise with each character, and it seems as if goes much deeper than just what appears on surface level. The flow of time, individual circumstances, and events, things that are for the most part, uncontrollable, appears to be the ultimate culprit at the end of the day.
The acting is, for the most part, spectacular.
Kim Jung Hyun has capitalised on this chance as main lead, and has absolutely hushed critics since his little fiasco at the presscon. He portrays his loud, obnoxious, persona perfectly while also managing to capture the most tiniest details of warming up to his kinder self.
Seohyun was a pleasant surprise for me. Critiqued negatively since day one of acting, I honestly didn't expect much from her, but she captured her role quite well. There were obviously a few kinks here and there, and some scenes that could definitely be improved (especially one particular scene in episode 6...), but for the most part, she pulled it off okay in my opinion.
The side roles in Kim Joon Han and Hwang Seung Un are stellar as seen in past roles, and they capture their more darker parts well. Both filled with guilt and faced with dire choices to make, their struggle to fight their inner conflicts are highlights within the drama.
Music is generally quite good. Unfortunately, it's not quite memorable - which was why I gave it the score that I did.
Definitely flying under the radar at the moment as dramas like Mr Sunshine and Life have stolen the spotlight - but this drama is on equal footing to the two at the very least. The actors while good, are newer and not well known, but don't let the lack in popularity dissuade you from giving this one a try. They are shorter episodes, and may be a little different from what we are used to, but it is definitely worth the watch.
