Poor Adaptation and Direction Ruined the Experience
There’s no doubt about the actors’ capabilities , I’ve seen their performances before, and both are truly talented artists. Their acting is not under question here. In fact, their chemistry was good. However, something still felt off.
What stood out to me was the visual mismatch in their characters' age gap. Despite the storyline suggesting a notable difference in age, their appearances seemed to belong to the same generation. This affected the believability of their dynamic. If an older-looking male lead had been cast, it might have aligned better with the story's context.
Beyond casting, the entire project felt rushed. It seemed as though the entire team was in a hurry to wrap things up rather than allowing the story to unfold naturally. The scenes lacked the necessary pauses and emotional depth , there was no sense of stillness or buildup where there should have been. Scene transitions were jarring and not smooth, making the overall flow disjointed.
The direction and screenplay were the weakest points. Changes were made to the original content, but unfortunately, these changes did not fit well within the narrative. If you're going to adapt something and make changes, those changes must add impact , otherwise, it's better not to alter the original.
I can't ignore these issues, so I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.
