Truly Extraordinary
After rewatching for 4 times, i think I want to watch it again. This the drama that made me fall for Kim Hyeyoon. Eun Dan-oh is my most favourite female lead ever. Just when I was getting tired of the unbothered, over-it-all female leads, i stumbled onto this masterpiece. Dan-oh is truly an extraordinary, chaotic girl. The plot was absololutely great, well-written characters and even amazing plot twists. I love all the main characters, and this show has a way of making you fall for even the supporting and extra characters.
My personal favs are Eun Dan-oh (obviously), Baek Kyung, Lee Dohwa, and Shin Sae-mi,
About Eun Dan-oh, i love how, in most such concepts, the fl tries to "stay away from the plot" but continues to become the centre of attention simply bcs she is the protagonist. But Dan-oh? she fights. she fights against the writer to change the plot and BE the protagonist of her own story. The plot shifts from a whimsical. light, comedic story to one full of deep, emotional themes. the world building is amazing. Dan-oh, from simply wanting to change the plot to defy the corny author, turns into a girl literally fighting to live. For Kim Hyeyoon, its fantastic how she managed to plat this role so well. bcs she had to switch between stage and shadow Dan-oh, it really showcased her acting talent, and hardwork.
for Baek Kyung. He is the character you'll hate till the end, but somehow, still find yourself crying a river for. A really well written, complex. morally grey character. Lee Jaewook's acting was amazing. Would love to see khy and ljw together as leads in the future!! Story wise, baek kyung made me want to smash his head with a vase but also left my crying and hoping for a better life for him. A song that perfectly suits him, imo is The One That Got Away.
Lee Dohwa. what a sweet, gentle and supportive character. i fell for his character. he is truly well-written too. i love his friendship with Dan-oh. it's rare to find such good male-female friendship in kdramas.
Shin Sae-mi. well, to put it shortly i loved her character bcs of her frienship and loyalty towards Eun Dan-oh. sadly, even though i really hoped, but she did not get her Ego. Though, there were still hints of her real self in shadow. I wish to see this talented actress in leading roles soon!!!
all in all, a rare gem of a story. Extraordinary you is truly Extraordinary. No matter what my current fav is, this will alway have a special place in my heart. The drama I'll always come back to!!!
