I Love You Since 1892 Episode 1

expected higher, received disappointment

I swear, they can make this drama even better, but as of now, it looks like a college film project in a nutshell. 1. The pen at the start doesn't look like the dip pen at all, in fact it looks more like a ball point pen. And if that was indeed a dip pen, how is she able to write if she didn't carry any ink with her? 2. The photo editing was soooo bad, that even my high school self can do better than that. I swear, is this production even trying? For a popular book, this is production is doing so bad, the book deserves way better treatment than this. Also, they would've had the chance to remove some scenes from the book that are way too much. For example, the scene where the extra was pretty mad at Carmella for staring at her after bumping and got mad, like bro it wasn't a big deal, no one even acts like that in college. Carmella's attitude at the beginning was already too much and adding that extra layer makes the drama way cornier.

Episode 1 is good but have some flaws

As a reader of ILYS1892 and a fan of Binibining Mia, I really loved this episode. They introduced Carmela very well, and Heaven's acting was excellent. When I watched her, all I could see was Carmela. Great job, Binibini! I also loved how they opened the episode with that scene (iykyk). The library/storage scene is so great. It was exactly how it was written in the novel, and I got goosebumps while watching it. Overall, the episode closely followed the novel, and I’m so thankful for that. I feel completely assured that they will stay faithful to the novel that Inay Mia created.The cinematography was good, but I didn’t like the editing, which is why I’m giving it 7 out of 10 stars. After the opening scene, there was a one-minute montage of the Arch of Centuries, which I found unnecessary. Then, in every scene set in the school, they kept showing the arch for a long time. That became a bit annoying for me. It felt like the Arch of Centuries was overused. I also didn’t like how they zoomed in on unnecessary things for too long before transitioning to the next scene. I hope the editing improves in the next episode.I'm really excited for Episode 2!
