Save Me Episode 4

Everything is ready and set to go.

Four episodes is usually the norm to story and character development for dramas with 16 episodes or so. This one doesn't seem to be an exception, as far as I've seen, at least.I've seen a good development of the characters so far, the story is also presenting itself very nicely. The translation from a webtoon to a TV series seems to be very neat, the director keeps the tension in the air without soaking the drama in it causing it to be overbearing right for the start. The story doesn't get too much lighthearted either and it isn't fast-paced and rushed when it comes to presenting what it's needed. In this episode we meet a time-lapse, but that isn't too abrupt. The director makes a very good use of the acting skills of those in the drama, everything is easy-going and flows naturally, be it the relationship of the characters (friendship, interest, hate or whatever) or the chain of events. The director manages the story very well allowing the audience to see the decisions the characters make and the consequences they follow as well as what could possibly be in the character chosen otherwise.For those who are reading/read the webtoon this drama is based on is easy to let slide certain things such as Seo Ye Ji's character breaking the fourth wall, but for others that'd be unnecessary. We all know how she shouldn't be at that place, we know the people there, we know what they might be capable of there's no real need for that scene at all. That whole scene is pretty much pointless.All in all, the drama seem to be heading in a promising way being well produced, directed and brilliantly acted with a very nice story to back it up.
