The Perfect Parody: The more dramas you watched the better this one gets
First off the drama has stellar casting, and not just for the leading roles. You can see the hard work and meticulous preparations that went into it in every plot point, every scene and shot. But soon you notice what's really going on.Every character name looks rather normal but they're all intentional and layered with references. Every emotional moment drags on just too long, making you laugh while you sob. Every costume has some tiny flaws like sewed on shawls, but fantastic fabric and beautiful design. Every song is just a bit too cheesy or silly but they're just so catchy! The fight scenes are so obviously filmed to look stereotypical as hell but they're just *so* cool. There are so many tiny intentional details like the FLs overdrawn lipstick or 'corpses' fluttering their eyelids.
This drama made me feel emotions I didn't even know I could have. I was annoyed, crying, laughing and cringing at the same time, watching the drama going through every cliché possible in the most absurd way. All while I could not stop being dragged into that world and fall in love with it and its characters, just like the FL.
The more dramas you have watched and the more you know about the language, sayings, memes, the better this one gets.
If you are in any shipping fandoms or write/read fanfictions, I literally can not recommend this enough, since you *will* be called out even harder!
