One word - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - I SURVIVED in a Sunk Ship
Some stories are better left untouched rather than being making into dramas. This one was meant to be a melodrama but completely missed the mark landing somewhere between mediocre storytelling and unnecessary angst.
You can start watching this drama with good expectations especially with Seo Kang Jun and Ahn Eun Jin as main leads alongside promising actors Jo A Ram and Lee Joo Ahn. But apart from the cast there was absolutely nothing worth holding on to. There's a famous saying that good acting can save bad writing but for this drama even the acting couldn't saved from sinking in the angst. A promising cast cannot compensate for a script/story that fails to give them convincing character arcs exploration and meaningful scenes.
THE CORE REASONS OF DISAPPOINTMENT
- Forced Emotions instead of building them
- Prioritising angst over character development
- Confusing sadness with emotional depth
We all know Kdramas have evolved so much in terms of storytelling and giving in genre bending dramas but the writers of this drama seems missed that evolution. Honestly writing feels frustrating from the beginning like the writers have no intention of giving the kind of story or drama that a Kdrama fan would expect.
The biggest problem is how the writers tries to force emotions into certain scenes instead of letting the viewers feel them naturally through the characters, story itself. Rather than building emotional moments that make sense they keep pushing unnecessary emotions into random scenes. In my personal opinion the emotions should come naturally from the characters and the story not feel like they're being forced on the viewers.
Literally at some point you might feel please just stop this already and end it. Keeping viewers engaged emotionally the unnecessary angst and emotions only test our patience..
Cinematography and OST are at their own good.
Overall a disappointing drama that had a promising cast but failed to deliver through its writing and emotional execution.
This is my personal opinion & review.
