THE MATURE ROMANCE/ACTING WE VE BEEN STARVING FOR
THE GOOD:
There is something that has been lacking in K-drama for awhile,versatile actors that started it alld
were forgotten for a minute,while young ones were paraded on our screen wsith their shaped noses
and perfect faces but lacking in acting and personality..I can name a few but thats not why we are here.
This was a perfect example of old is gold.The maturity in terms of acting and screen presence was top.
I noticed that the casting director had one visual in his mind,tall,dark and manly,all the side characters
almost had the same physical features and were really fitting in the frame not forgetting talented.
The color tones used,the mood,the melo sounds and sights,the camera angles and the OST were really done well
Though it was marketed as mystery,it didnt give out that eerly feling.The director knew what kind of architecture to
use in this drama,He went for an edgy mid-century style seen in Han Jeong Won's both houses,the whole production
set and wardrobe,the cars that shown the ML's wealth status,all were on point.
THE BAD:
K-dramas have always been known to be short and quick to finish but I feel like this drama should have been at least
10 or 12 episodes,the story was there and it could have been easly developed and expanded,but looking at Gong Yoo's
drama history,he tend to pick projects with shorter episodes.
Just Like all the viewers werent happy with the ending,I believe it would have been better,but with 8 episodes what else
were we expecting?
The ML's career as a producer was not something that was explored,If you werent attentive,you might miss what exactly
does he do,showing up at the studion and laying on the sofa while he is two assistants add extortions on the computer
didnt sell enough.He is "boss" O Hyeon Cheol seem to represent him on the career front but I would have loved to see a scene or
two where he is emmersed in the producton role.
THE UGLY:
I will be honest,Am not a fan of mystery trope so the fact that I enjoyed this drama means there was no mystery.
The whole time,you felt like there is something twisted that the director is trying to bring out but in the end nothing
came out.I can say that if you are a mystery hardcore and like twist,turns and psychotic elements,you will sleep on
this.
OVERALL:
This is my personal opinion,I came to the Trunk looking for mature romance and mature acting and thats what I got
and am satisfied with this as they added a pinch of good visuals and perfect production.
