Rainless Love in a Godless Land Episode 2

Four Stars

One of the good aspects of this show, which is prominent in this episode, is a smooth blend between the mundane reality and the fantasy elements. The transitions between daily life and either visions or dreams sequences are done in a perfect way. The drama also starts to hint and speak of the "fate" and free will theme and how much can we truly influence our future. As for the characters, honestly love the comedic bits of the God of Wisdom. His low-key eccentric behavior is truly entertaining to watch. Not to mention the quick change in the female lead's perspective on life, which is greatly appreciated by me. On the bad side, I feel like they showed a little bit too much of the main couple's past relationship in this episode. I wish they would keep me in the dark for at least one more episode to build up the tension a little bit more and keep me guessing. Also, the start of their connection in the past in the context of where it led seems a little bit questionable. In episode two we are introduced to yet another amazing piece from ost: Never Ending Rain. How are they improving with music when they had such a perfect start in episode one?For the production and directing: how would I call the camera work? Stationary. While it gives me opportunity for great screenshots, I would appreciate a little bit more movement. And it's not like there is that many stationary shots, but somehow they truly stand out when I watch the episode. But, just like in episode 1, I enjoyed quite a few transitions between scenes. These they are acing.
