Totally agree with you! I also loved Once Again. Father is Strange was another excellent long drama. It’s been…
I discovered it by chance recently and I am watching it: it is incredible good, for sure worth its long time (at least till ep 26 where I am now). I like strong female characters: there is plenty there as here!
I liked it up here, it is really different. Let us hope it does not run into the standard. The end of ep 24 gave me some doubts (I never watch the previews). I really do wish that they keep the level!
A demonstration of amazing acting capacity of the two main leads, nicely seconded by the other actors. The idea is good and yes not standard (if you watch it you'll see what I mean), which made it confusing for me at the beginning. However, it got stretched too much: 10 or 12 hours should have been enough, not 18..
On the other hand, it is still not at its mid time. As in a marathon, anything may happen. Still, there are already 21 episodes that are much more worth to see that other highly praised series running in this time. In other words: rating may be random and not reflecting the reality. And reality may be perceived very different by various people.
Up to ep 21 for me now, I sill find it at the very level of "Once again", that is excellent. I even watched a few sequences several times! The actors are really great and the direction is extremely carefully. At these length, some things may repeat, but I still find it full of humor.
The actors are cute and the music nice, but the script feels like a free genAI; after second half of 8th episode is got so standard, I almost fell asleep.
Excellent camera work! E.g. before the mid of episode 14 they shoot from various angles an a few of them are through the glas window facing the sea: foamy waves slightly reflect into the glas and we see them over the actors giving a great feeling of the moment...
Very good acting too,
I felt it a bit stretched and a bit violent towards end, yet I understand why. I still consider it a "must see".
Please hold the level!
