The story itself is good and inspiring but I'm struggling to hold interest beyond 16 eps with the lack of chemistry between the leads...because I love a good slow burn but the 2 lead actors just aren't giving anything in that department to feel any "burn"...might just be a me problem tho
Rom-com done right (so far at least). The leads have easy chemistry, pace is great, not too slow and not too fast, the comedy isn't obnoxious or overboard, Haneul and Minsi each bring their unique charms, Haneul especially is comedy gold in some scenes (he's just that expressive!) Really hope he does more comedy especially stuff like Midnight Runners in the future. He's got a special talent for comedy and it shows.
Has there ever been a case where a mini series was adapted into a longer full length one? Coz this drama deserves that with the exact same cast lol...such a random find for me and I mean, how is it that a mini drama of all the full length ones has such a unique plot with such refreshing dynamics?
I'm not sure if this drama is working so well for me because of the short length itself with no unnecessary fillers like those 40 episode shows, but my God are the dialogues landing and the chemistry between the leads is out of this world.
The lead actors, especially the FL definitely has a bright future ahead. She is beyond expressive and so sincere with her performance. Such a well directed show so far. So rare to find something with this quality in the mini drama genre that's usually diluted with horny content and the same script and heavy breathing instead of moving dialogues from the leads in every episode...
Now that I think about it, the first part was a melodrama at it's core with a lot of action sprinkled on top. It's why Park Ji Hoon's performance worked so well in bringing Siyeon's repressed rage and loneliness to the surface. So despite all the crazy action moments, it felt a lot more heavy than the traditional action movies/shows I'm used to watching. Definitely not something I could watch while trying to wind down after a long day, but something I'd need to keep for when I can handle all the emotional weight. I wonder what tone the sequel will have...
