Underrated…
Honestly, I don’t understand how the ratings on many many shows (including this one) are so low.
it’s a great story. The actors were great in their roles. If they came across as a bit uncomfortable in each life, that lends itself to the premise of the story itself: of course they would be a bit “off”, having lived the reincarnation cycle over and again, without their memories, feeling oddly drawn to each other but not understanding why. And then, when they do get their memories, something happens requiring a tough choice and a decision to seal them away again. They never get to fully acknowledge, together, what they’d been through up to each point and use that information to align on a way forward that resolves the issues until the very end. (And oh, was that end worth it, even if a bit short due to the overall short format of the drama. 🥰).
I judge each show for how it made me feel, whether I invested in the characters and their plight, and whether I feel justice was served in the end. I never rewatch shows so I can’t rate that more than a neutral 5, and no, the soundtrack didn’t stand out to me, so I didn’t rate that more than a neutral 5 either.
I’ve seen way too many shows of varying length, notoriety of casting, and “familiar” plot lines that didn’t hit those top three marks for me.
So if you’re like me, this show is a solid watch with a good emotional payout at the end.
