Dream for us all at this point.
Starts off strong with the to-the-point approach to emotional turmoil. Does not beat around confessions, past wounds, backstory and childhood traumas - which saves a lot of confusion and back-and-forth for us all.
But it falls off by the second episode in terms of quite literally everything. The acting is childish and immature, the female lead is infantalised by the plot itself; the guy has an odd way to deal with his past and emotions by disappearing for a decade and re-appear believing in immediate forgiveness, comeback AND working together on the singular thing that symbolises their vulnerable relationship, all the while stuck on a past version of the female lead, completely undoing the life the latter has made for herself after the tragedy.
The tropes are juvenile and cliched: the white truck-kun, the staring into the headlights as a car approaches blindly, the tripping and falling into arms, the drunk yelling and waking up unclothed in a strange bed, the deliberate weird situations, the forced humour. It's nearly unbearable to watch.
THE SECOND LEADS THOUGH!!!! Amazing chemistry, tropes and progression. Need more screen time for them.
The cinematography and music though remain top-notch. Hope they pick the pace and resolve this childishness.
