please don't judge TWOT after only 2 episodes
First things first, as someone who has read the novel and absolutely loved it, I should have a critical look at the adaptation. But you know what, I've waited so long that my mind says: no matter what happens, you love it, even if your high expectations are not met.Just one please, don't judge the drama after only 2 or 3 episodes, some people say that it is slow paced and yes that is true, but it gets better in the further episodes. Another negative point was that it was too much fluffy romance, but oh boy just wait and see when the 180 degree turnaround comes.
So please don't listen to the sometimes toxic comment section that is influenced by wannabe film critics on YT (AX). See for yourself, form your own opinion, not everyone has the same taste and that's a good thing. Criticism is good but pure hate is not.
I really enjoy the drama, the chemistry between the two leads is absolutely great. The set looks very good, and the fact that parts of the city in East Country were built especially for TWOT is particularly great. I also think it's great that you see the effects of the war on the individual characters. I've never had mental problems and don't want to presume to feel them, but the depiction of the characters' individual mental problems makes the pain sympathizing.
There's not much to say about the OST except that it's soooo good, just listen to the intro and you'll know where it's going.
so is TWOT a 10/10: no (for me it's a 10)
Does it have its flaws: yes
Is it still worth watching the drama: definitely
Finally all I have to say is just enjoy The White Olive Tree.
