Fantasy Sonata (2024)

Increíble

Llevo años viendo series y nunca he escrito reviews en esta página, pero con ésta me veo en la obligación de hacerlo por las reseñas que estoy leyendo.

Siento que muy poca gente ha entendido realmente el significado de lo que le ocurre al protagonista (y eso que lo explican muy claro al final). No siento que haya flojeado en absoluto. Es más, faltaban 7 minutos para que acabase y aún no sabía cómo acabaría o qué mas podría ocurrir.

He visto todo tipo de dramas desde hace 12 años, y poco ya puede sorprenderme, pero este lo ha hecho.

Desde la tremenda actuación de Park Ji Hoon, a la banda sonora, la ambientación, pero sobre todo que la historia es muy original. Venimos de viajes en el tiempo, series de abogados, décadas de los 90, pero aquí tenemos a un protagonista con trastorno de personalidad.
Pocas series hablan de salud mental y ésta a su manera lo hace.

En cuanto al romance, creo que ambos actores han hecho un trabajo maravilloso. Los dos son capaces de expresar lo que sienten por el otro sólo con mirarse, con una lágrima, con un roce de una mano. No creo que eso sea tan fácil de expresar o que lo veamos tan a menudo.

Volviendo al papel de Park Ji Hoon. Encarna dos personajes totalmente extremos y en todo momento podías saber con una mirada, o una sonrisa cuál de las dos personalidades estaba saliendo a flote. Obviamente al final esto es una opinión como otra cualquiera, y para gustos los colores, pero para el que esté leyendo esto y quiera verla, sigue. No te vas a arrepentir. Pocas series sorprenden hoy en día o no te dan un final atropellado en los que te cuentan todo de prisa y corriendo.

El cast es una maravilla. Hay una calidad actoral increíble. Los villanos tienen sus objetivos claros y coherentes y sobre todo siento que no deja de sorprender en ningún momento. Cuando crees que no puede ocurrir nada más, de repente ocurre algo que te deja en shock

Si podemos ponerle una pega es tal vez que sientes que Kyera se enamora de una forma algo ilógica de Sajo Hyun, pero el desarrollo y cómo se apoyan el uno en el otro, la evolución de ambos, creo que compensa ese inicio.

Para mí ha sido un 10/10 y teniendo en cuenta que ya poco puede sorprenderme esta serie lo ha conseguido

Dadle una oportunidad ~~

Unique plot for a historical drama about getting the throne

Acting:
I LOVED this drama, Park Ji Hoon's acting was amazing, I thought I wouldn't like Hong Ye Ji's acting because I've only heard bad stuff about it, but her acting was good. Her character is an assassin, it makes sense why she wouldn't really be very expressive. The ML is either possessed or has another personality (I am not sure, but I think historically they'd say a person is possessed if they had another personality), he went through a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the drama and expressed them amazingly well, I especially loved his portrayal of Ak Hee.

Plot:
The plot was really unique for a historical drama focusing on 2 'brothers' trying to get the throne. A lot of historical dramas about Kings/Prince's have this type of plot, but this one was unique mostly because it had a very soft ML.

Sajo Hyun did not like violence at all and hated how horrible of a King his father was, and I don't think he ever changed, he just stopped being meek. He also did not want the throne, neither of his personalities did, one wanted to make clothes and the other just hated politics (though he was very good at it). Honestly, there wouldn't have even been a fight for the throne had the Grand Prince (the brother) just been a decent person.

I loved Ak Hee, I had SLS for Ak Hee, but Sajo Hyun grew on me later on in the drama when he started to develop a lot of the attributes I like about Ak Hee. Ak Hee was such a hilarious (and adorable) character. I loved his sarcasm and his attitude, he was a mood. He truly did not care about anyone but Kyera/ Yeon Wol, I hated that she never saw his feelings as sincere. Ak Hee is treated as though he is the human embodiment of greed, and nothing else despite the fact that he is able to feel love and pain. He was only treated like a human at the begining of the drama, but later on he is treated as though he is just an evil spirit, and not part of Sajo Hyun.

There were a lot of plot twists in this drama, you don't really know whether Ak Hee is good or bad , if anything he was just greedy, which made him anxious, which made him do stupid things.

I also did not hate the Princess Consort, I didn't like her at all at the start, but then you get to see that even though she is selfish, she is not a bad person and she is also not really the MLs love interest. She had a lot of character development despite not having much on screen time.

I think the only thing I did not like about this drama was how Sajo Hyun and Ak Hee did not even try to understand Yeon Wol's hate of Sajo Hyun's father. Her hate and revenge were completely justified, though the vengeance itself was not very satisfying.

SPOILER - Ending:
I loved the ending of this drama. I never expected a satisfying happy ending for this type of drama, but this one had one.
Though Ak Hee is sort of killed of (I interpreted it as Sajo Hyun becoming mentally strong enough to no longer need Ak Hee), by the end of the drama Sajo Hyun becomes a lot like Ak Hee, and the pathological lying and greed aside, Ak Hee also becomes somewhat like Sajo Hyun.
