Deja Vu (2013)

When I first started watching this drama, I thought that the plot of it was really nice. The actors seemed to work well with each other and the music played well with the whole drama.
During the initial episodes it felt like the drama wasn't really moving that much until it got to episode 10 or 11. Even though the drama revealed many secrets it just feels like it is being dragged on and on.
To me, it feels like one of the American TV shows where secrets are being revealed but at a very slow pace. Hence, why I watch dramas. Deja vu has a lot of potential to be a drama classic, but the producers are now just dragging the drama on for too long. It should have ended a couple of episodes ago.

Story: The overall storyline was actually pretty well written and thought out. Although the drama started with a really strong plot at the beginning, it did drag a little towards the later episodes, but the ending left me feeling completely satisfied with the drama I started with. Yes, I agree it wasn't the best ending but it was somewhat fitting. It left me feeling bitter sweet.

Acting/Cast: I do not like the main guy How, but I will admit that he did act well. The highlight for me was definitely Mandy - she was amazing. You could really feel her emotions and her heartbreak and everything else. I hope to see her in more dramas soon! It feels mean to say this.. but Jenna is very suitable to play her bitchy roles, she does them so well. Props to her!

Music: The opening song is breathtaking. I absolutely LOVE it. It is such a beautiful song with so much emotions in it! I had it playing on repeat for a few days and I had to turn it off because it was actually downing on me XD But it is beautiful!

Rewatch Value: If I was ever feeling down and in the mood for something depressing I would watch the first episode and skim through the rest..

Overall: When I first read the synopsis I thought to myself I must watch this! But then I saw the main character was played by How and I hesitated. But I watched it anyway after hearing so much good things about it and I'm glad I did! I know alot of people here did not like the pace of the drama and the direction it went, but I still enjoyed this drama alot!
