Potential lost through boredom and lack of directing skills
Watching this drama is a great lesson for me on how not to write a story. Or how not to work with Chat. I explain why. The idea behind the story is a very good one: a doctor, due to double trauma (mental and physical), cannot remember the events of the day his fiancée died. The trauma changes his personality and he lives for 7 years in the belief that the murderer has been convicted. Only, one day, evidence begins to emerge that what he was told about the day of the accident/murder is a lie and he is somehow implicated in the case. So far so great, a really great idea from which to make a really fascinating piece of drama that will be a classic for years to come. It's just that the idea is over. Someone let the crew work with Chat.
Let's start with the characters, who are one-dimensional, uninteresting, played like wooden pegs - all of them. Since I know some of the actors, I can't demand too much, but I know they can do better, I blame the director for their pathetic acting. And I blame the screenwriter, who couldn't turn an interesting premise into interesting scenes and dialogues that made sense. At first, the drama is rather episodic and focuses on the patients' problems, but it does so pathetically that it completely wastes all its potential. I understand that the drama had huge financial constraints, this is evident in the production, but it didn't take a lot of money to write good dialogue, as there are plenty of capable, aspiring screenwriters. So I wonder if the scriptwriter got the job by acquaintance, or maybe he actually used Chat, because sometimes when I get bored and play around with Chat, the same boredom and nonsense comes out. The music is bland. The drama doesn't hold any atmosphere or tension. In fact, I have no idea what genre it wants to fall under, since it doesn't fit into any. Maybe it wanted to be an ambitious hybrid, but what came out was a bland mush, where a talentless cook threw what he had into the pot. I give this drama all of one star solely for the idea. Nine stars I take away for the nightmarishly bland execution.
