A light watch which couldn't get me invested
I needed a siple watch and this drama delivered it, which can be a good thing, but to be honest it was just not anything special. I wasn't invested that much in the story mostly because I didn't understand what was going on, it wasn't extreme or thought provoking, but I enjoyed the simplicity and it was somehow refreshing? Weird mix of emotions here.
I wanted to watch this because of Go Younjung and SHE DEVOURED her role. I've always known she is a good actress and she has this captivating energy, but in this, her talent truly shined. It is not easy to act two different roles, but she could switch between Cha Muhee and Do Rami. I especially liked the Do Rami parts because that element was so interesting, it gave the whole drama a certain edge and the actress really brought out the vibe of the character. The delivery was good, that is why it didn't feel weird for me. I couldn't always place if Do Rami in the second half was just an act or a real thing, I guess it is up to interpretation, and I got the message but at the same time it was hard when the drama kept acting like it should be taken as a real person switch.
For me, the concept was interesting at the beginning, but the plot tired out pretty quickly. I felt like they didn't have many ideas for actual conversations or misunderstandings, so the emotions, heartbreaks and this push-and-pull plot was out of the blue. I understand the need for suspense, but it felt like those parts weren't written well. Sometimes I also got the impression that I just cannot grasp what was intended with the symbolics, maybe I am just too literal and the drama was intended to be mysterious and artistic. Overall this interrupted the plot for me which resulted in me not being invested afterall.
What I really enjoyed was the camera work. The colors, scenery, angles, dynamics really elevated the experience. This drama is beautiful, from the clothes, to the locations, I appreciate the details that went to the planning of this.
I don't have strong opinions, as I mentioned, this was a light watch with parts which I couldn't understand, so I wouldn't watch it again, but I cannot really complain either.
