3 more to be perfect?
I think if we get 3 more episode, this could've been perfect.
Pretty much everything was top-notch from the soundtrack (OST and Score), the acting, directing, and almost the writing as well.
Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but I felt they spent too much time on unimportant things and less on the main story. I rather watch the two mean characters daily lives than some weird ninja maid plot, and that wasn't even the worst part, because I don't know where that nonsense with Deok Ro came from. Why did he do that with those girls? Honestly, It was out of nowhere, we didn't get any explanation and I didn't like that the villains didn't get any punishment. It wasn't realistic.
My other problem is that they rushed the story of Yi San and Deok Im. At least 10 episodes worth of story was merged into the last 3. That's why I think with 3 more episodes, plus excluding that nonsense story line above, The Red Sleeve could've been perfect.
The story itself wasn't surprising or anything like that, because it's a pretty accurate historical drama, but it was still well-written, and I don't think I felt one time it was cringe. Even tho, I think Deok Im's stubbornness was a bit too much.
The ending was a nice touch, and they said everything out loud (I mean, the writers made it obvious what's happening), I knew what's going on the minute I've seen the first second of the ending scene. Especially the scene at the door.
Another show that deserves to be in my fave list!
