An Extraordinary kdrama
I saw a bunch of hype and complaints from various people on tik tok when this series was still coming out. Eventually I had to check it out for myself and I am so glad I did. This is not a drama I'd want to miss out on because the acting, story, and visuals were amazing!
I truly enjoyed Woo Young Woo's eureka moments every episode! It felt so unique and the imagery/ animations that would appear were wonderful as well! For instance the opening scene on the train/subway(?) with the whale swimming by and it's reoccurrence in the final episode were beautiful and fitting.
I really enjoyed the characters and story telling as well. The different angles to a case and the flow of it was fun to get immersed in. Similar to shows with mysteries, I found myself trying to solve/ think of other opportunities as well. Then when some cases didn't go the way I thought they would, I'd get emotional too. The topics they brought up were important as well like suicide/discrimination, the study culture in Korea, sexism in the work place, etc. Additionally having an autistic character was interesting and informative as well.
I remember people getting upset at the romance plot coming up, but I think they handled it well and showed some challenges. Like it's not all sunshine and roses. Besides that, I also think viewers need to consider what people like seeing. With fictional shows we (or at least I'd like to think) tend to want to see people happy and living life. Sure that's another plot, but if I wanted to see someone sad and alone or being alone and a "girl boss/don't need no man/partner" type of thing I wouldn't be watching kdramas/TV shows. I'm here for the nice feels and vibes and seeing people find love and happiness.
Anyway, besides all that I really enjoyed the cast and the characters themselves. I'm so thankful there will be a second season because I miss them already. Plus there is more character stuff I'd like to see, like from attorney Min-woo, we only got a small glimpse into his family and life. It's the same with Su-yeon, I'd just love to see more!
I bet my review seems like a mess and what not, but I'm just sharing my emotions towards this series off the top of my head after finishing it. I legit went through it so quickly, then held off watching the last episode because I didn't want it to end!
It's that good y'all! If you're hesitating to watch, JUST DO IT!!
