News Flawed, nonetheless beautiful story
This series seem to have left a lot of different opinions for different people. Some who want BL are not satisfied and some hate seeing queer undertones. Personally, I think the main problem is that the 12 episodes are a bit too short to flesh out and to tie loose ends. Regarding the queer bait or bl discourse, i think it is not necessary to define it a a boundary. As someone who does not just watch the plot for the sake of plot but likes to see cinematography, read underline expressions , tones etc, i think this story conveys a beautiful expression of love. It is undeniable that the two male leads love each other in a way whether platonic or romantic or some other way. I dont think it is necessary to label it. And there are other types of love too, however twisted it is, pio mom loves him and jae in also loves him in a way . And the series conveys those different types of love so vividly , the actors acting are on point. Especially the mother, actress yoon se ah is so good at expressing the emotions. I just got interested in because it is about music and piano , maybe some sense of artistic beauty . Even though it doesn’t really go into that part, the music and ost are so good. I was hoping for literature artistic typa series but this was more like k drama. But in a way , it shows like “this is life” , the characters are complex and messy, the circumstances are messy, and the fate is messy, so messy that it feels like “this is life” in a sense. I guess it would be boring if everything is like going linearly. There are a few things i wish they could explore more, like tie up some loose ends, how jy survived, or explore more on jaein and some other characters. I kinda question what is the point of some characters but in our life some people just show up without any purpose or impact in way it makes sense. Overall, i love the complexity and flaws of characters( it needs effort to understand them) , i love the shots and cinematography , I dont like how the plot left a lot of things unresolved and a bit rushed.
