Lot of potential and a good story ruined cz of poor direction and screenwriters
30 mins into the drama ep 1 and I'm frankly tired. Just the Nawa's intro was 10 mins long and then 20 mins was just Phu staring at Nawa and nawa getting warned he's a playboy. It feels like they wanna keep the 1st episode only as intro with no plot but to do that they just added lot of filler shots... the story is good the cast is good but pacing damn sucks. Then i checked the director and screenwriter and now i kinda get it. They're the same as "bad guy my boss". They've not shown any improvement from their last work like literally. I like the plot so I'm gonna skip and finish this one. Also i really suggest that they have a woman on their team. They kinda suck at guilding the actors on facial expressions or emotions. This happens in all their dramas so i definitely can't blame the actors its direction problem. For example Phu is a playboy. Okay we get that but he looks stiff they should have asked him to look more relaxed. Like lean on the counter get bit closer when he's trying to flirt with Nawa what playboy stands straight attention position and flirts🙃 n this is definitely not actors problem but the directors cz even if the actor did that the director didnt correct him or see anything wrong with that.. also i get nawa is a kind and nice guy. They could just make him smile lightly instead his smile is a little too much that it looks like he's forcing himself.. it's like they had this great script great actors but fucked up in the direction, screenwriting and editing.
I'm at ep 5 and no improvement🙃. Awkward acting and a forbidden stepbrother love arc🙄 which has a messy execution. The only likeable part of this drama would be the leads and their smile😆😆 and probably the 2nd couple. I liked their story more it kinda made me cry ðŸ˜. Initially i thought they were using vfx for the mermen but turns out it's silicone tails. Yes great effort but also they look fake when it's in a drama... also i don't get like all mermens are in danger but then they're all obsessed with protecting nawa. why? That way if you look at it ping was at high risk cz he was not part of any clan.. also yep people are right they equated homophobia and xenophobia 🙃 like bro give a proper back story if ur gonna bring up monster hunt. Like a merman killed human or was misunderstood so humans go on monster hunt.. the other reason selling them cz they're rare made sense but monster hunt was BS. Literally how many of us would kill a merman if we saw one especially if it looks exactly like in the series🙄🙄... sigh also i really don't get nawa or phu like their breakup made no sense. Phu sees his lover become a merman n before that he saw nawa being sick but didnt bother waiting and checking on him and nawa bro pick a side bro he's like chilling with the mer tribe while phu is all depresssed on the other side WTF😆 and Phra's death was totally unnecessary. Like he got to know his dad killed nawa's parents. He knows nawa loves phu but still poisons him? N then he trades his life for Phu??another WTF. There were lot of loop holes like uk there good actors when u watch the last episode cz i cried thereðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ but the director has not guided them with the right expression it feels like a drama filmed over a weekend🙃
It's a really mid series like even if u skip it. It's fine you're not missing anything.
