music, Gay romance & great acting
So this is a gay romance drama, but officially they did not want the people to know. subtle manipulation of watchers, mentally and emotionally. I didn't like this. I would have liked to know in advance and decide whether or not I wanted to see it.
but because I still saw this series, I can say that the inclusion of this gay bromance theme was subtle. otherwise I wouldn't have looked. the gay romance is not my cup of tea. yap, i can say it was a great couple with great chemistry and high profound level of intimacy trough their eyes and bond, on the screen. I wonder what directives they were given when they were filming and looking at each other so lovingly, the eyes of both of them were fire every second of the drama... it was like they were just about to kiss.
It was a great drama. All the actors did a great job. Both ML performance was amazing. The music become part of the emotions. , the piano performances and the warm color effects were great. I could just stayed there with my eyes close listening t the music. There is something very peaceful about the overall visual style, especially when the characters are simply spending time together.
the intimacy of their friendship was absolutely spectacular.
Psychologically, it's a good theme to see the archetypes and tactics of manipulation, gaslighting, narcissism, emotional, mental torture, humiliation and Stockholm syndrome in action.
All in one.
The Korean pattern that i don't like:
when the aggressor is forgiven at the end immediately, and is showered with love and understanding from the victims, like that in a second. ah, and all aggressors turn into angels like that overnight. Nope... in real life it doesn't happen. it happens in movies so that you can be subtly manipulated and stop reacting to the abuse in real life.
a lot of unresolved trauma transformed into love, longing or obsession, revenge, painful words and actions .. it is not addressed at any point how these mega traumas are healed and transformed.
The only character that puts care love, respect and loyalty in this drama was the FL. The only character that loved Pi O was the FL.
In the end, everything, the pain, the trauma is poetically erased with a few romantic confessions. And everyone is happy. Really?!
With all the good and the worst I still would recommend this drama. If you enjoy stories about friendship, music, emotional bonds and characters who slowly become important to each other, good music and amazing cinematography I think this is worth giving a chance.
