Love between Lines Episode 23
0 people found this review helpful
I got hooked in by the murder mystery game and how magical the production was in that world. Getting into the narrative of the show I thought the characters weren't as goofy as in other dramas where I'm constantly cringing and begging for a serious moment. It was very well paced and I felt like we were really given time to settle in with the dynamics between all of the characters. And they made me actually care about the architecture industry for a bit, it takes some dedication to take the professional context of a romance drama that seriously and I appreciated it. I didn't particularly dislike the second LI. The story made it easy to empathize with him, and he really just wanted something to brighten up his life. I liked him as a rival. He definitely wasn't right for the FL though.I didn't care for the secondary romance at all, but power to them. I don't like secondary romances, I find the perspective shift difficult to commit to mentally.I really just dropped it because I didn't like how the FL treated the ML when her parents got to her first about his past. In general I really can't imagine blaming the son for the alleged actions of his (dead) father. Especially like, if she knows who his father is now she knows that he died by suicide and that the ML was young when it happened, hello, don't you love that man and want to comfort him? Plus he's had to keep it secret his whole life to make a living and y'all are just now getting close. I skipped ahead a few episodes to see what they made of all that just to see her crying about him keeping secrets again. Over it.I wish the murder mystery game had been more important to the plot, like if it was a genuine hobby the main characters were committed to and they immersed themselves in that world fully as a pastime, because I liked how they expressed themselves when they were in game and I wish I could've seen more play running tandem with the drama. Also I play role playing games with friends so I'm a bit biased.That being said, the first half or so of the season was so engaging I will watch it again just to experience that. And I still would recommend it, because it was so much fun for a while I was certain I would finish it, and I've never been certain of that with a drama before.
