the editing of ep5 feels very choppy. the directing/editing is rather jarring, almost like multiple genre switches in a single ep. stick with the romance really, and we need to spend more time with the leads and have them talk over their feelings. the first two eps captured their bond really well.
side couples work well when they are knitted into the main leads story, not when the writer is heavy handed with them (or maybe it's the placement of their scenes in an episode) while dragging down the main story.
totally agree with you..It also felt there’s a gap between the writer and the director..The writer wanted to…
100% this. there's definitely a clash with their respective visions. the actual directing seems quite experimental and makes me feel like we keep switching genres.
the osts are soooo good! not a single miss wow. and the ending of each episode is beautiful too!
Like ending the kiss scene/episode with a shot of their script, with the '...and they kissed' scenario that they wrote? Come on, if that ain't peak romance!
My only critique is that the tension of the first few episodes is just gone and idk how we got here. I know Yi…
wasn't it the final scene from ep3? where she admits to subin her regret is herself and not him? i feel like that made pretty significant progress for their relationship. but also, seeing how she pulled away from the kiss, maybe the walls aren't all broken down yet.
pretty sure ju yijae got lost in the moment of writing that script and all their closeness.. but hey it makes for some fine romantic tension! give me more of that kiss.. i love the cliches of romcoms and so the umbrella kiss is definitely for me! it's beautifully captured with the perfect ost placement! also hwang inyoup is fineeee
this is really my kinda drama! ❤️ i love love when the leads communicate. apologies, confessions, truth bombs even if they hurt! keep them coming!
also love me a female lead who isn't pitiful or miserable and doesn't let a past trauma stop her. almost expected her to be incapable of driving a car (kdrama leads are often too traumatized they can't even stand in the rain!) because of her past but nope! look at this queen! taught her team lead a lesson herself! ❤️
how is the tried and tested formula of a group of people in a single house an experiment anymore? I mean i get the king of hearts game might throw some twists into it but feels like we have seen this plenty before. the group is all pretty and idol like so there's that. it's still an enjoyable show though. the drunk date was cute even though it was obvious to everyone watching that they weren't really compatible.
The cinematography and direction is just too good, the bgm that plays in the background, I’ve not been impressed…
there's a bunch of criticism about the acting/vocalisation of the leads or about its attempt to be the korean stranger things from the korean media but i don't see any of that on the international end. international viewers seem to be raving about it. it's also number 1 on netflix korea. so it should be a hit on netflix nevertheless imo.
but the visuals and cinematography were really good in my demon
i don't know how much of a say a director has in the script tbh. solely speaking about the direction, it was good. it made the leads shine. but ofcouse any drama is only as good as its script.
