A Surprising Experience Despite Some Flaws
Strangely enough, I had heard a lot of negative opinions about this series — which doesn’t really match the relatively high rating it has on the app.
In my case, I actually enjoyed it. Yes, it has its flaws, but overall, the experience remains very positive. So let's start with the good points.
The casting is spot-on. Choosing actors who are usually known for playing villains and giving them roles as everyday, kind-hearted people was a clever decision — one I fully support.
The atmosphere and color grading, shifting beautifully between warm and cool tones, are major strengths. The pacing, with its well-managed variations, keeps the story engaging.
Another big positive: the attention given not just to the main couple, but also to the secondary one — and especially to the relationship between the main character and his brother, which I believe was one of the emotional cores of the series. It’s precisely these kinds of relationships that allow viewers to connect deeply with the characters.
As for the flaws, without listing them all, I would say the biggest issue lies with the main character's emotional expressions. Perhaps it was a directorial choice, but to me, it didn’t work — he sometimes came across as dumb, or even borderline psychotic at times, which felt a bit awkward.
There were also a few slow moments that disrupted the otherwise good rhythm of the series, though they weren't too damaging overall.
In conclusion, while the series has noticeable imperfections, its strong points largely make up for them. Thanks to the well-chosen cast, the emotional relationships, and the thoughtful direction, it offers a viewing experience that’s both touching and memorable.
