Quite the Love Story
This was an amazing show to watch and I geuinely loved it especially the 'Gather my tears' by Seo jin-won as it was my first time hearing it...but the last 2 episodes made the show seem inconsistent
Throughout the series from episode 1-10 the show was foreshadowing and evoking the themes of a thriller murder mystery which made the show exciting and seemed to pass by quickly with each episode...but in the final 2 episodes they switched it to promote a different theme entirely, this in turn made the final 2 episodes seem so draggy and frustrating as it felt all the built up of the first 10 episodes was quickly undone in the final 2 episodes.
I guess it highlighted the serious topic of "suicide' because of the true unfortunate story of Seo Jin-Won, the artist of the song "Gather My Tears" who took his own life on January 1 1996 at the age of 19 only for his song 'Gather My Tears" to be released not that long after his death and becoming a big hit in South Korea, knowing this much the emotion pain in his song hits so much deeper
The show is worth watching but I most likely wouldn't consider this a comfort show
7.8/10
