a quick finish

when i first read the synopsis of this before it came out, i was absolutely hyped because it seemed like a fresh concept. when i dived in and completed the drama as a whole, i'm left thirsty and empty. it's like i got pulled in so deep only to bounce back to the starting line. all i have is questions and there's literally no way to answer them unless a second season is possible which i highly doubt.

let's talk about the positives (and a tad bit of negatives):

-interesting concept
the world where monos and probes are introduced is very much intriguing. it was nice to see a whole different concept and not just another cutesy highschool (despite being set in highschool lol) cliché type of drama. i think the mono/probe idea was explained well enough and makes up for great tension and buildup for the story.
however, it would've been nice to see if there were other monos like yeon woo and perhaps, there'd be a different take to his perception. i'm not saying yeon woo's thoughts annoy me but i'm just looking for more depth to the universe presented.

-decent cast
yeon woo's actor did an amazing job showing the
emotions of panic and fear and overall, he definitely made the character show how loneliness, loss, longing and desperation look like. the crying scenes weren't cringy but devastating and believable.
yoo han's actor wasn't bad and he definitely made his character lovable and portrayed what it's like to love someone that you'd literally memorise a whole ass color palette. it's worth noting how soft his voice was which adds extra bonus point to him being a babie.

-beautiful ost
the ost is beautiful without a doubt. with the romantic scenes and the main leads being cute, the ost fits so well that i might have to add it to my spotify playlist later on.

what made this drama lost its momentum is the final episode. i understand the episodes are only 15 ish minutes each which would explain why it fell short but it just doesn't make sense. everything got resolved so fast despite the heavy things that hit the fan. the way the drama ended made it seem like the writers were not sure as well of the conclusion so they took the easy route of making things conveniently happy. while i'm happy no one got hit by the white truck of doom, it just leaves the drama as a solved case even though it's unsolved. what happened to yeon woo's mom? how was his aunt okay with him and yoo han? was yoo han's family okay with yeon woo?

overall, it's still a good watch and i don't regret giving it a go. now, i'm just going to sit in one corner and be delusional about a second season.
