DNA SAYS LOVE YOU
OVERALL

The series is okay, but left some unanswered questions in my head:

1 What was Wen-Wen’s condition as a child? If he’s a MALE, then why did they dress her up like a girl?

2 Did he have a male organ or a female organ? If male, then why did they treat her like a girl? If female, then does she still have a female organ now? Or did he undergo surgery to have a male organ?

3 The mother knew Amber is Wen-Wen, so she just accepted this without wondering what happened?

I think they should have discussed this condition more, to help the audience understand it, rather than just glossing by it and therefore making the audience confused or uncertain how to react.

I know I’m in the minority here – but I find their kisses awkward. Maybe because I look at them more like siblings than lovers. I didn’t feel any sexual tension or chemistry between the two main leads.

Also, their kisses are so dry. They’re more like lip-touching than really kissing.

*****

ACTING. Yu-He is hands down the best performer in this series. She’s consistently good throughout the entire series. Next is Amber, then Li. Le’s acting is so-so to sometimes awkward (especially in that scene where he revealed to his mother about his love for Amber). That crying seemed forced. Or maybe it’s just his face. Same with Gwan. His acting is just so-so.

CINEMATOGRAPHY is really good and so is the MUSIC. EDITING is quirky and confusing at times.
