A narrow aperture to their story that gives you a deep depth of field!
As expected, Depth of Field has stunning pictures, some of the most beautiful shots i've seen in a while, with sharp colours and this sense of mystic reality. It is emphasised a lot in the scenes on the rooftop that feels surreal by how breathtaking they look and yet....they are real.
While the story lacks a bit and defintely feels somewhat rushed, especially in the second part of the drama (but that is expected as to the number of episodes) the acting which was really good and the visually pleasing sceneries makes up for it, at least to me! The story started well and although the characters might feel a little hollow per moments, there was an underlying message throughout the entire drama that I appreciated a lot : stop hiding and punishing yourself for who you are and what you love, just do it and be true to yourself!
A narrow aperture in photography tend to give you the deepest depth of field, meaning everything becomes sharper and in focus and I feel like this kinda summarises their story! I think Konno helped Hayakawa regain focus on what really matters to him and that helped him fully accept his love for music and that regardless of the past, music will always be IT for him just like photography will always be IT for Konno. And in between all these self-discoveries, they found themselves and fell in love and i'd lie if i said i was 100% fine with how it all went down but considering the little 5 eps they got, i think they did a good job.
Overall, Depth of Field is a nice short drama with scenes that will leave you gobsmacked by how pretty they are...look at it as an array of quick snapshots of Kono and Hayakawa's lives.
