Shine (Acoustic Ver.) Episode 2

EP2 review, overall, 8/10

EP2 review, overall, 8/10SHINE is undoubtedly excellent in terms of photography, transitions and casting, especially APO and SON. I prefer ep1 more because in terms of editing and scriptwriting, the logic is very good and the rhythm is also well controlled.However, in EP2, it's obvious that there were issues with the editing and rhythm again. The old problems of BOC still exist. There are two parts that are too long. First, the opening plot about KRAILERT and his ex-lover could have been told in half the time. By saving the time, the story of KRAILER and NARAN could have been told more fully. This way, the final part wouldn't be so exciting and confusing. Secondly, the part where TRIN is organizing the book is a bit too long. APO performed very well and did a great job expressing the subtle emotions. However, I think more editing could be done in the French story line. This part of the story is very important for TRIN's life choices and can better highlight TRIN's struggles.My two favorite parts: The first one is the TRIN class part. The tense atmosphere between the student and the teacher is great, and it can also be seen that APO's acting skills have improved even more (including the part where he picks up books).The second part is the passionate section between KRAILER and NARAN at the end. Apart from being a bit baffling, it's still quite good.The point I have some doubts about is: TRIN's girlfriend passed away not long ago. She was drugged and kissed once, and then fell in love with tawan. I can't understand it. Or will there be some additional details to this story later? Otherwise, it would be even more baffling than the love story of KRAILER and NARAN.
