Flip a Coin!!!
I just came across about this series, and it's been a while since I watched a 16 episode series that got me excited for a long time since Through the Darkness, Signal (original by both KOR ver and JAP ver), Queen Woo, Kings Affection, Kingdom, Code Blue, Rurouni Kenshin The Beginning Anime, Train to Busan, H2, Death Note, etc... judging by the series that i mentioned, I am very facinated with character build up, and I like it more with 16 episodes instead of 12, it has a good character build up, although let's face it, budget is not something i would like to discuss.
Let's start with the Story
Viva La Vida!!! can't get over that tag line, I think this series is on par with Entertainer with Tantara Band, the slow build and introduction to the characters is awesome, we get to see the life before the magic of 2 moons, at first, I thought they are in the same timeline, but later on the first episode, I noticed the color palettes and some grain on the video that's when I realized that this is getting interesting, there are some time travel series before, but this is a unique approach based on the series that I have already watched like the reporter, a journalist traveled time to make things right, the difference is that this one has character build up, with the right and strong chemistry casting, YML and YFL, YML chemistry here is much stronger than his last series my nemesis, YFL is a little but innocent than moon ga young, because I vividly remember Moon ga young personality on interest of love, link, inner beauty, YFL is right for YML. then the supporting ML and supporting FL kind a work, its a kind of role reversal support artist have more lines and less chemistry than the YFL and YML.
Supporting ML and FL has less chemistry than the YFL and YML.
YFL and YML has a strong chemistry and innocent high school feel specially the dreamy editing, no special effects just pure chemistry and acting
OST has 2 tracks that made the 16 episode looks natural
Higher and Shining ,
Higher is composed by an Indie band in future, Shining was composed by a high school band in the past
Higher, Shining, Higher
then a little bit of magical BGM during the 2 moon, nice touch
Should you rewatch, its going to be inside on my top 30, a definite rewatch
Top 30 for KOR and JAP series and movies, there is a lot more than 400, entering inside top 30 is no joke
A fun magical ride that can be enjoyed by all ages with lessons that can be shared to the family forever.
Viva La Vida!!!!
