travel drama with a hidden meaning
After starting on this drama it made me realise how misleading the trailers were. I really thought it was gonna be a slow paced travel romance drama. But to my pleasant surprise I was actually shocked by the plot line.
Firstly, this is definitely a really high budgeted drama because the filming was beautiful and Cha Muhee's fits were all so pretty! Cha Muhee was also a very down to earth humble character who had a difficult upbringing but worked hard as an actress from the beginning. With the success of her movie her life changed but she still never lost the passion she had. However, as she becomes more famous the stress also increases.
Before she became famous she met Joo Hojin on a trip to japan. She fell for him very fast and tried many ways to get his attention. Funny thing is she was caught everytime and after some point JHJ just finds her efforts very cute. Joo Hojin is a more practical person which CMH acts more on her feelings.
So although CMH is very obvious with her intentions, it takes JHJ really long to fully open up. Now this is where i feel it could have been done better. CMH was not confident so she kept backing out thinking she is being a burden to him. He already likes her but still rejects her multiple times. So...this part was dragged for a bit.
Oh! omg i have to mention the japanese actor Hiro. I thought he was just an extra character who appears for a few secs but NOOO his character was so funny and unexpected. It was an interesting twist!
-- SPOILER --
lastly, Do Ra Mi. I really did not expect a split personality plot. Do Ra Mi was so wild and it was funny how they just kept going for night dates. Naturally as she found healing with JHJ, Do rami disappears and CMH gets all the memories.
Overall, apart from the leads being a abit frustrating, the music, the cinematography, the plot, is all not bad! I think it was still worth the watch!
