time travel done right
Sept. 12, 2021
Blue Birthday took time travelling to another level. I must say that for a web drama, the plot is fantastic but in terms of Kdrama standards, it is quite decent. and above-average There are some plot holes that might make viewers go WTF or maybe some will not notice it at all. In terms of acting, I think Yeri and Hongseok did justice to their characters. Obviously, I hate those kissing scenes with fish-eyed out type beat but it is what it is...
First of all, I just want to say that Hongseok is so damn fine. Like I knew him a long time ago from Pentagon but he really snapped so hard on this drama and in Move To Heaven!! As for Yeri, I really think that she will develop further into a better actress. I think that she just needs to work on her facial expressions more and she will definitely be on top of her game.
As for the plot, damn every episode I was always up for the suspense since it was really hard to figure out who is the killer. I am happy that they made it more suspenseful and it really made me interested to watch the later episodes. I barely skipped through and thank god the ending was not sad. I was about to fight the directors and writers of this drama. I will not allow sad endings in this household!! Also, this is one of the few dramas that did time-travelling plots that is good. Like even with plot holes, it did not bother me as much as other dramas. Maybe it's the budget but I did not mind the camera angles or lighting.
I hope y'all give this web drama a chance. It is definitely on top of its game. With all its flaws, I must say this cements itself as one of the best web dramas to ever exist in Korea. Give it lots of love ❤️
