A Spiral downfall—It was promising but the plot ruined it. Lack of Competent 2nd ML~!!
This drama went from extremely good to gradually going bland and plain.
I honestly started this drama by reading a lot of reviews from people and I've contemplated a lot (more than 10 times) before I give it a go. I even told myself to completely break that 'common-cliche-story' feeeback but I never expected myself going that path as well.
I'm a sucker of Cliche Love Stories so much but this drama is either overflowing or insufficient of something or more. It is imbalanced overall and as much as I wanna give it a higher feedback out of consideration, I can only give it a 'So-So Rating' (See my bio to find out how I rate things) after all my contemplation and sincere consideration.
This drama could've been magnificent only IF they didn't overly played the characters and purposely added so much twists and turns that eventually ruined and made the story go astray from it's main plot. The story seemed to be all over the place and some of the 'supposedly' main plot were left hanging in the air and magically got resolved/conquered without proper explanation and presentation.
Anyways, I don't wanna keep it that long cause I don't wanna slander it that much but lemme just give some of the favorite stuff I like about this drama before I completely move on.
First, is the cinematography and lighting. Everything is so vibrant and sweet looking and it truly complements the actors and actresses. Second, The OST and the BGMs. I learned to love them so much throughout the show and wanna give a big thumbs up to people handling the editing; since they did great with sound placements & accompaniments and lastly, for keeping the story a little more mature in contrast to how immature the characters are.
P.S. I felt like I was watching a Teenage Love Story than a Young Adult ones and that bothered me a lot.
Story - 7.5, A Passsing Grade. Like what I mentioned above. The story went downhill as early as Episode 10 and from that point moving forward I've felt like a slump was placed within the veins in my heart. It made my mood a little off and even causes me heartache at some point. Not to mention the characters, specially the ML who is more Young-Minded/immature several times and how bothered I was on how we're lacking a more competent 2nd ML.
Cast/Artist - 8.5, Overall they're good but I feel like they could've done better. Most of the time I was seeing them as an Actor themselves more than the characters they're playing. I know that I shouldn't be too hard on them and should give consideration on how the character is written and portrayed to be that way but I can honestly see through their innerselves trying to squeeze the emotions in just to deliver some of their lines out.
Music - 10, The only Exception. I really wanna commend the Sound Team who made most of the scenes a lot more interesting and fun to watch. I love all of the songs and I'm ready to add them to my playlist.
Rewatch Value - 7.5, I don't want to give them a savagely low grade since I still enjoy this drama halfway but I would never watch this drama the 2nd time around. But I can always recommend it to some people who are interested with the same genre.
Overall - 8, It is BARELY Passing. It is Good but It was also bad and got so tiring and boring 2/3 of it's entire run. Something I wouldn't be tired saying is how they could've have made it better by sticking to their main story plot.
