it's nice if you skip most of it
(PLEASE READ! SKIP TO THE END FOR SUMMARY OR IF YOU DON'T WANT DETAILS.)
I'll make this short, the story was alright. the acting was pretty good, and the cinematography was nice (in a way). The problem is the execution, in a way.
Important complaints:
The timeline was confusing, character development didn't make sense, the scenes were dreadfully long. Like the monologues were longer than the actual meaningful scenes. They served no purpose. There was major miscommunication, although it was slightly understandable and I don't mind it. Whoever story boarded this/the screenwriters did not do a good job. Many fans are saying that people are complaining about the miscommunication too much, but the miscommunication isn't the problem. If they want miscommunication, then fine. However, they did an absolutely horrid job on showing misunderstandings and miscommunication. half of the episodes were either the black haired guy having mood swings/being cold or just very confusing timelines. I could skip most of the second half of the drama (besides for the ending) and still understand everything. They also made the black haired guy stupid for no reason, they didn't think about the character's personality before writing about their reaction to a certain situation. The first half of the drama was so great, it's such a shame. It feels like after the midway point, anything that happened in an episode got completely erased and had no meaning in the next. There's so much more that I could complain about but you get the point,
execution = 👎
Good things:
-It had a pretty promising and strong beginning.
-The ending was almost the only entertaining part, so that's nice
-The cinematography was great in the times you didn't fall asleep
-The acting was really great sometimes but also not, at the same time. I mean, the actors were great at acting out important situations like a human, but they couldn't take into account how the character would act. They also didn't think about how previous things that happened to the character would affect how the character would act in the future, so they could work on that.
-The editing was nice
-I liked the addition of background characters in some scenes, it made it feel more natural. (though that is probably also the camera crew's doing)
-------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like if they cut like a fourth of the episodes and put in the plot without stretching it out, it would actually be pretty nice. If they also put some more thought into the characters (in all ways, the writing, cinematography, acting, etc.), that would be great. The camera crew did great, though. They did their best to make the dreadful long and stupid scenes to work and look nice.
I would definitely not rewatch it, but I will at least attempt watching the sequel (when and if it comes out). If you are going to watch this, I recommend putting episode 6-9 in 2x speed, or at least just know that it's okay to skip boring scenes and that you will miss out on nothing. I hope this review helps the community!
