The story has depth, but above all it is carried by the two lead actors, who deliver fantastic performances. They harmonize very well. Best actor was Jae Hyeop.
This last episode wasn't needed. The first four episodes were the ones that hooked me. I haven't read the manga,…
Exactly. The first four episodes followed the manga exactly. The feeling and the believability were spot on. It made sense and was interesting. After that, the story was changed. It felt so lifeless and cobbled together that I felt sorry for the wonderful actors.
Beautiful visuals, evocative symbolism, and a superb portrayal of powerful emotions. I don't usually like Chinese dramas because of censorship, but this one seems to be unaffected. The viewer is captivated by the masterful acting, visuals, and music.
In my opinion, Jack is too young for this role. Too childish. Jack and Ja are on completely different levels, artistic and theatrical. Also i cannot feel the chemistry between them.
Since episode five, the plot of this drama has made no sense. Any tension between the main characters is immediately dissipated into a boring, feel-good mess. At this point, I'd only want to fast-forward through it, if anything.
I don't usually like dramas with supernatural elements because I can't really identify with them, but after four weeks had passed, I took another look and it interested me up to the fifth episode.

Since episode 5, the series has lacked tension in its plot arc. The conflict in episode 4 regarding the bet was immediately resolved in episode 5, as if nothing had happened.

Apparently, the screenwriter lacked the time to fully develop the story and the imagination for an alternative plot.
While it made sense in the manga that Shizuma went to the coastal city to find answers, this wasn't the case in the series after he learned about Minato's past. This diminished the story's credibility somewhat. Overall, the entertainment value has declined a bit since the series deviated from the manga.
I don't like the older brother.
