Nearly Perfect!!!
Some of you might think I'm exaggerating, or be surprised, but in my opinion this series makes the top five among GL dramas. What makes a series good isn't extraordinary cinematography, expensive outfits, skyscrapers, or flawless makeup. Sometimes we just want to find a piece of our own lives in something. Look at the new series coming out — everyone's rich, everyone's got a luxurious life. Which of us actually lives like that? And I noticed something else, too: in almost every GL production there's always some character getting bullied and crying, and the show drags on for 2-3 episodes of pointless drama. But look at Hour Channel's series — there's none of that. They're always positive, always full of life. They genuinely lift us up in our hard, difficult lives.
Anyway, let's get to our actual series. Yes, I said flawless. Here's why:
1) The Script
Think back on the GL series that are so beloved, so talked about, the ones that keep showing up everywhere — almost all of them have the same script. Rich girl / boss girl, oppressive family, luxury buildings, sports cars, meeting in the past and running into each other again in the future... Now look at this show's premise. Completely unique.
2) Setting / Scenery
The best so far. Birdsong, chickens, sunsets, lush green forest, nature... I watched every episode in total peace. We were honestly sick of series set in skyscrapers.
3) Chemistry
Yeah, I don't even need to say it — Ferin and Puifai are the pair with the best chemistry in GL. They really just flow...
4) Cinematography
Take a look at the new productions — the camera changes angles so much it makes your head spin. You're not making an action movie, so why shoot from so many different angles? This show is the exact opposite: you can watch the whole thing in 3 or 4 angles, which lets you focus purely on the script or on how wonderful the pair is.
There's only one negative I can point to:
The kissing scenes were unfortunately weak. Especially having so few scenes for such a good pair — and on top of that, the heavy music and the scene transitions hurt those moments. The episode count was also low. The show finally opened up in episode 5, and episode 6 was already the finale.
