So much potential. Remember this is a short drama
I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprise by this drama. You can tell that they have budget and time restraints as this is a small production. However, from the very first shot, you can tell that some talented ppl worked on this show. The camera work is interesting and add to the tension of the story. For a short low budget drama, I was expecting boring directing and camera work and all over place cuts. The camera work is very intentional and well thought out. The director really did a beautiful job for what they were giving. The writing is a bit lacking but if it has had the chance to be longer and more flesh out, it could have been be very good. The premise was interesting and intense but the short episodes mean lots of editing issue and character development is cut short. The color grading is quite well done and it highlight the darker tone of the story well while also hide the low production budget flaws.
Acting is surprisingly great. Both leads did a beautiful job. I wish they had a more thought out script to really show off their range and give their character more justice. However, even for the part they have, they really made you believe their characters. All the supports did a great job as well. I will be looking out for these actors. Overall, just know that you are watching a short idol drama still, so don't expect top level production. THere are constraints beyond what the production can do. However, it was quite well done given its genre and it makes me wonder what this whole crew and cast could have accomplished if they had ability to do exactly how they want things to be and get a full 24-30 full hour long episode. This would have really blow a lot of other shows out of the water.... Watch it with an open mind and just appreciate it for what it is.
