My Purple Skies

when I first saw news of this drama starring Got7's Park Jinyoung based on a webtoon by Kang full I was so excited, no need to know anything else I just sat and waited.

First two episodes were slow, boring and nor much happened, but I thought, it's an introduction it's bound to pick up in upcoming episodes.

Episodes 3-4 nothing really happened, we just sat watching a man creepily stalking an innocent woman. 4 episodes in and they haven't met?!! I get it, He meets her, he dies, but still!.

Episodes 5-6 came out and I skipped I thought I needed a break. Episodes 7-8 came out and I still wasn't feeling it. I thought I was dropping it, But I was still curious, it's Kang full, his stories are really good so there's got to be something here.

Episode 5 was draggy and as I was watching episode 6 I thought of taking another break, but then that ending! Finally it happened!!!

Episodes 7 and 8 were actually thrilling, my eyes were glued to the T.V totally immersed in the story, I felt anxious, I was worried and excitedfor the next scene to happen (it remindsof final destinationa bit). I am actually looking forward to the final two episodes this weekend.

I am rating it a 7 for now, depending on the ending it might go down I couldn't possibly rate it any higher because of how slow it is no matter how good the ending could be.

This would've been so much better as a movie or a 4 episode miniseries tops.

I know there's a Chinese movie adaptation out there, if anyone knows where I can find it please let me know, same with the original webtoon I can't find it anywhere if you know, please share it with me.

I have finished the series and adjusted my rating down to a 6 which I think is more than fair.

I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with a Kang Full story, that man is a freaking genius. Wher this series failed is in the way they adapted this brilliant story the pacing was way to slow one shouldn't have to sit through 6 boring episodes for the thrill to finally happen and the twist! wow I feel dumb not noticing it before it wa so good aand it would have benefitted the series to have revealed it earlier.

I do want to make clear the stalking aspect of this series as I just recently dropped the series The boy next world due to that very reason.

Dongjin is a stalker, he makes a point of it himself, however, he is doing it for a very good reason, he is madly in love with this woman and he is doing everything he can to make sure that she is happy. He at no moment is trying to force his love on her on the contrary he would've been perfectly content if what his face hadn't been a total jerk and broken the curse. The final episode was so weird it's not clear enough how or when she fell for him.

My favorite character Ho Eunsil, she was the best and we didn't have enough of her, I wish her and joonghyuks story weren't so rushed, because again, When did she fall for him exactly!?

In conclusion it's an excellent story wasted on horrible storytelling it took way too long to get to the point and when it did it felt unfinished, it is too long and too short at the same. It is a shame that most people won't have the patience to sit through it because although far fro perfect it's still very interesting.
