The only thing lacking is time
This is one of (if not) the best KBLs out there, however it lacks what most KBLs do: time. Time to develop the story, time to know the characters and time for the characters to know each other. While the atmosphere of this drama was 10/10 I couldn’t believe in their love for the simple lack of time, it all felt a bit rushed and not intense enough to make me believe that a love developed in the 3 days the plot takes place in, however, this is no fault of the plot itself, I blame it on the running time, it feels like they had to cut stuff to fit the time restraints and so it lacked, but they worked really well for what they could produce. This is one KBL I wish was a pilot for a more developed series in the future, but I know it’s just wishful thinking.Was this review helpful to you?
It begin as a conceptual work but it fell into a trap at the end
I feel this is very conceptual and till ep 5 it was a 10/10 for me (gorgeous cinematography and visual storytelling, acting on point, engaging episodes) the 6th episode is a whole other story, I am someone who usually loves a nonsense story that is all concept and metaphors but I find the sci-fi part a bit lacking, almost lazy writing, and while I liked the very ending it could have been different imo, it turned something somewhat new into a cliché, which has it’s place when you know it’s good and works but for this one it didn’t work, almost like they were trying to be unique and fell in the trap of using bad cliché instead of good one (if it were camp and absurd I would have liked it more but they left it in that mid “this is conceptual but still normal enough” way that almost hits somewhat like an uncanny valley). That being said, I still gave it a 9.5.
