A nice watch but not amazing
Melo Movie definitely tugged my heartstrings, make me bawl like a baby, but I don't think I would watch it again.
The two main leads story:
I loved Mubee and Gyeom's interations and how they developed as a couple and as individuals. Of course, the acting from Park Bo young and Choi Woo Sik was the highlight as always but wished there was more melo between the two. It could have been because of how short this drama was but it felt like something was missing. They were connecting on an emotional level and growing as people but was hoping there would be more dates, more cute interactions now that they have grow towards the end but nothing much,
Of course this drama highlighted more than just romance but if melo is in the title then I would have hoped for something more.
The second leads:
I think these two portrayed exes that haven't moved on, and the complicated emotions that they have for each other well. I'm glad that it wasn't made for them to get back together, but to understand each other's feelings and move on from the past, rather than sticking to those lingering feelings. In saying that, I do feel like it was a bit off putting how this couple's story was involved in this drama. Neither of them had traits that were incredibly likeable or relatable for myself. They both were making the whole drama frustrating and annoying to watch, which could have been the point but it was something that I didn't enjoy.
Family:
I loved how families are portrayed in this show. Mubee and her relationship with her dad is so relatable, but for that to then connect to Mubee and her mother is done so well, and makes this drama so much more beautiful. Gyeom and his brother is definitely a tearjerker and one of the plot points that helps Gyeom grow as a character, but every scene between them is intense, deep, but wholesome at the same time.
Cinematography:
This whole drama is set and filmed beautifully. The key scenes such as the flower field and sunset, Mubee's film set, shots of the streets and Gyeom's house is so surreal and beautiful to watch.
The whole story was good, it made me feel things, and rethink life goals and relationships but if you asked me to watch it again I don't think I would. It doesn't have that wow factor between the couples or their life plots that would make me revisit this. The acting and cinematography is hands down what made this an even better watch, and the continuous concept of movies is smart and nice to see in kdramas. However, that's where it ends. I would recommend but not as a rewatch.
