Oasis Episode 1 Reactions
I already loved the first episode. It reminds me of Chicago Typewriter which is one of my favorite korean drama and although, it's still early to say but I think this'll be added, of course, depends on how good the story/future episodes will progress.I loved how they already showed on the first episode on what happened in the past in a way like it's in the present -- on how Doo-hak and Cheo;-woong became friends and how they met Jung-shin (important note: Seol In-ah is so pretty) and how the trio formed an unlikely but beautiful friendship and how it fell apart and how tragedies after tragedies came once it did -- because usually in other other dramas, they'd start with the present and then come later with the past in the next episodes, so I really liked that because in that way, it'd be less curiosities and frustrations on trying to guess what happened to them in the past. Although, I wished they didn't make Cheol-woong's character driven with jealousy and insecurities because I really like his chemistry with Doo-hak, they could've become THAT duo (like Park Seojoon and Kang Haneul in Midnight Runners) but then there would be no plot. Anyways, I also love the chemistry of the trio, as friends and as lovers even the rivalry. I'm curious on how their friendship will progress later on, if there'd still be friendship or they'd fell apart completely. Also looove the OST, I'm looking forward on the next episodes!

This show seems like it has great potential so far. I’m already loving the characters, specifically Doo hak and jung shin, and I’m really interested to see where the story will go from here. I’m predicting maybe a revenge orientated romance, considering the set up of the flash back forward where it seems doo hak was wrongfully accused for a murder. I love the general atmosphere of the show as well, being set in the 1970s amd 1980s of South Korea. The characters also all seem to be written in depth, each having some kind of internal battle that they’re fighting. Either way, I’m very excited to continue watching this, I already ship doo hak and Jung shin. I’m just hoping that this doesn’t end tragically, but for some reason I’m getting the vibes that it’s not gonna be a happy ending :(
