It felt like I entered a Pensieve, LOVED IT
I am genuinely in awe of this wonderful show.
From the very first scene you are thrust in this semi-dystopian modernist society, and the rules and norms are established in minutes without any elaborate narration or world-building.
It felt like I entered a Pensieve from episode 1, and the immersive feeling never went away until the very end of the show.
ALL the actors, and I do mean ALL, stole the show here. Ju Ji Hoon was BRILLIANT in his role of a bodyguard and his intelligence and caring nature shined through. Han Hyo Joo was BRILLIANT as the controversial innovator who simply wanted to make a slightly better(different) world to live in.
I loved Seon U Jae and Oh San as well. I was able to understand every single character and their actions and follow their story with all my interest. Never skipped a single scene. It was incredibly subtle in its portrayal of sexism, and innovation in modern medicine vs its cost to humanity.
And the beautiful music was a cherry on top of this decadent black-forest cake.
tldr: I WANT SEASON 2 SO BADLY OH MY GOD THIS SHOW AND ENDING WAS TERRIFIC
