I wanted to like it, but it ended up being a non-immersive experience..
I want to propose a question to the producers of this drama: why should I care about this story?
This isn't a bad drama/movie, however it feels like eps 10 and 11 of a 12 episode drama.
From ep 1, you are thrown into the story, there is limited world-building, which results in me not caring about the characters, story or how it ends. Something went wrong somewhere.
I felt like an onlooker, rather than being immersed into the story.
The music was nice and gave it a nostalgic vibe.
The romance was very short-lived while she was alive.
In the end, I was left hoping for more..
The cast and acting is good.
But like I said, I didn't even know what was happening with the gangster plot. I wouldn't have known the ML was a gangster if I hadn't read the plot beforehand.
Many people seem to really like this drama, so don't let me stop you from watching it.
I will leave you with some random thoughts I had while watching:
- you're thrown right into the story, if I didn't read the premise I wouldn't have known the male lead to be a gangster from the start of things, it didn't really introduce you to characters like what usually happens in an ep 1.. ep 1 to me felt like a later episode, but it is only 2 eps long so maybe for the best that they didn't spend time world building?
- mr. yellow shoes is in this
- why should I care about this story?
- it has nice music (classical and 'a love so beautiful')
- things were happening in ep 1 and I just didn't care about it.. I wanted to, but they didn't set up the story in any way that you would end up caring about the characters, I feel like an onlooker
- at the end of ep 2 I started getting more interested, but then it ended
- the story in itself is not bad, but just felt incomplete and I couldn't immerse myself in it..
- it has an early 2000s vibe
