I love your review, Suzannah! Very great critique points! This was a 10+ watch for me; yet I have noted upon reflection, and upon reading your review, its shortcomings. The symbolism (via the perfect cinematography xD) + the cross culturalism presented in this drama were both xfactors for me, though. I love the point you made regarding the ending of the main ship: I did experience some strong antiship vibes re them by the end of the drama, and in general stopped caring about those two being together, and more about them as individual characters and all five of the MCs as a group.
I kind of lost steam around Ep 7, likely due to the slower pacing and general lack of actual plot in that section, and the fact that Ep 7 had some things that didn't particularly sit well with me, but I still had high hopes for this ship - adore just about everything about them! ^-^ So I'm so happy to hear that overall the cdrama's good. Will be checking back to it~~
Thanks! I'm surprised you found this article from 3 years ago!
Me too! It's hard because I wish that articles would be listed with the Drama Titles. I think I found this article when scrolling through your articles list under your profile. Originally found your profile via your The Long Ballad article <3
Love this drama so much (discovered Xi+Lu via TILL THE END OF THE MOON cuz they're INSANE together onscreen) and your article's list is TRULY Five Stars <3
