I TRIED TO FIND ANY FLAW! theres none?
It's takes an amazing production to cleverly make amazing first 2 episode.
I was honestly very tired of giving a show a chance after 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 episodes and still find them lacking.
This is what a great kdrama start looks like for me.
the first episode is slow in time pacing, but starts at the RIGHT key moments in the story to let us get to know the main characters. While I found the main characters all imperfect and annoying, they interwine brillantly in the pilot and now I wanna know what happens to all of them!
Second episode we have the past story reveal. The back story could have been a movie on its own. They showed us the key moments of the past of one character. Not only was it shown well, but there are details, emotional details that are absolute ART!!! here are 3:
1- the psycho looks of some soldiers, characterizing the inhumane act of oppression and occupation.
2- the alternation between slow motion of the fight to live and normal pace of the oppressors.
3- the complete silence right before a mother's cry, ouf that moment killed me in emotion.
This is what I expect from an excellent Kdrama! main leads have been amazing so far too!
It may be FL's best performance yet? and the ML, beyond his talent, I really like that they give him the nuance and depth, which is always harder for male character somehow. And they achieve this by using creative devices like letting us see his mind.
The setting of the story, the cinematography, the cuts, even the OST, i tried hard to find one flaw and I couldn't!
we have the classic kdrama moments and attitude but we also got a very rich plot going on!
this show is on its way to become a classic favourite!
