Imperfect But Still Enjoyable
I had decided to quit this one at about episode 18 after ploughing through, but I came back and gave it one more try. Honestly, I’m really happy I did. This was far from a perfect drama, but, if you’re willing to work through some slow pacing, it’s a really great watch.
Pros:
• CHEMISTRY. Loads of it. The two leads are truly have some of the very best chemistry I’ve ever seen in a drama. It’s up there with some of the most swoon-worthy drama couples. They can’t keep their hands off each other, but it feels so natural as if they just always have to be touching. And the kiss scenes are absolutely phenomenal.
• The main leads in general are great. They are both well-written and we’ll-executed characters. Their acting is next level.
• A well resolved ending. After a lot of weird pacing and annoying tropes, we really do get to see such a sweet and satisfying wind down in the last three episodes even if they have some sad moments. Very beautifully done.
• Finally, an engaging secondary couple that you’ll love, an overall good plot, and an amazing OST.
Cons:
• Pacing. The pacing is really really rough. Frankly, I skipped on and off through lots of episodes, something I try to avoid doing. If I hadn’t, I would have dropped this. It drags and drags, and just when something is about to resolved, they throw in another conflict.
• Unrealistic. You will definitely have to suspend your disbelief in a majority of the medical areas and musical. Things in this show would never fly in the real world. It’s almost bizarre sometimes.
• The supporting cast. Besides our secondary couple and our FL’s parents, honestly, the entire supporting cast is nothing special. A lot of characters annoyed me more than anything else.
• Finally, there’s a few plot holes and a lot of inconsistencies in the show that never really make sense. And the description on Viki isn’t a very good description of the show’s premise.
So there’s my review. Do with it as you well. “Oath of Love” was a good watch with two leads who are to die for and an ending that had me grinning goofily through my tears.
