Sci-fi in its perfect portrayal - Yonder


This Saturday I opened this show unaware of the genre nor storyline, I just wanted to view Shin Ha-Kyun and Han Jimin duality; two of my favorite actors... but wow I didn’t expect to be drown to the plot.
Sci-Fi is a genre where perfection is difficult to saturate, yet Yonder saturated this aspect.

if I’m going to talk about the story, it’s simple but the integration of global themes like death, existentialism, and happiness were seamless and explicit, you can notice that through the dialogues, internal monologues that convey these themes in lucid diction, nonetheless you can empathize and interact internally with the characters.

Cenimatography was top notch, it immersed me even more, it accentuated the themes of the drama and created a majestic setting, in ep 3 where Ja hyun met Yee hoo in the metaverse I felt the sublimity of the atmosphere, I want to praise the cinematography team for their efforts they made my experience memorable.

If you have Shin Ha-kyun and Han Jimin in a series you can infer while closing your eyes that you will get master performance, they were my initial motive to start the series. These two subtly portrayed the complexities of their characters.
I was touched by their harmonious chemistry. The last scene of them in Yonder and them breaking the 4th wall gave me bittersweet feelings, I felt fulfilled.

What also caught me are the quotations especially in the last episode they gave more context and clarified how the protagonists overcame their emotional turmoil.
The ending was satisfactory to me and I didn’t feel it was rushed.
if you will watch Yonder hope you'll enjoy it!!
