The acting and cinematography overshadowed how unentertaining the screenplay is
The drama has little to no viewer impact, unjustifiable behavior of the villain, exxagerated music scoring, and some episodes were bland and lacks emotional impact to viewers.
First, the most important factor to me when rating dramas are their impact. Wether the drama is measured with their shocking plot twists or heart wrenching emotions. This drama lacks it but should have possessed it by not revealing the most important revelations at an early time. It pisses me off that some revelations will be revealed and then it will be revealed again at the point of the view of the main character. Almost all revelations were revealed twice. This writing breaks the elements of surprise and impact to the viewer. Come on, this is not how the writer should write it. Reveal them once and at the right time.
Second, the music scoring is very exaggerated. This is the first Japanese drama that you will hear such a suspenseful music scoring for a wordful girl fight. It’s like the music is for a brutal killing scene but look at the characters they are just staring at each other.
Third, a bland climax for some episodes. You see, all episodes must have their own story circle. Meaning to say, they must have their own climax, sadly some episodes were bland but due to its cinematography and exxagerated scoring, they managed to pull it off.
Fourth, the unjustifiable character of the villain. The important element for a Japanese drama is the villain’s motive, the reason why they’re acting like that. All motives should be valid. Unfortunately, the drama failed to present the villain’s reasoning properly on how they can be like that kind of person. All viewers must validate the villain’s background. To make a successful villain is to make the viewers agree with your motive but I highly doubt if they agree with the villain in this drama.
Overall, the production managed to pull it off nicely with great acting of the cast and the cinematography but I hope that they will pay attention next time on how they will write their show.
