Something is Wrong Indeed.
Maybe I liked this accurately named short drama (which I will admit, is good for a watch and discard type) because it was obviously never meant to be as serious compared to the likes of Blueming or Semantic Error. I did not expect anything out of it, considering that the team probably had a very tight budget as they seemed to have shot every single scene either with the lighting effect of the burning sun or bright streetlights at night.
• Cast: Was quite good. They portrayed what they had been given. Which makes me think about the characters...
• Characters: I know that more than half of the people who watched this drama are cursing Do Ba Woo, as the entire story is told from his perspective. But, the character whom I just did not understand till the very end is Ji Hoon. It is blatantly obvious that the script was written solely for Do Ba Woo. Every single scene with Ji Hoon did not convince me even once that he had had any feelings for Ba Woo.
Somebody should've banned Ji Hoon from using the word 'like' because he took it in a literal sense, whatever the case. Yes, it is sort of explained that he was far too scared to reveal his emotions, but writing the entire story from the point of view of one character and attempting to convince viewers about the other in the last couple of minutes just did not sit well with me.
Do Ba Woo might come off as a selfish individual immersed in his own feelings, but how was he to go after a friend who -- 1. Did not take his confessions seriously. 2. Heavily implied that they were friends multiple times.
Ba Woo was a serious loner and Ji Hoon was always the kind of person who seems to easily attract friends. (Look at his bandmates! By the way, they were another favorite part of the story for me.)
Ji Hoon makes Kakeru from Kimi Ni Wa Todakanai look like Einstein when it comes to verbal communication.
Ha Min was the impetus that sets the boat sailing. He deeply regretted it, but I was far more satisfied with how he grew up by the end of show.
• Script: Weak as wet paper. They should've speed run the last three episodes and focused on important moments -- such as Ji Hoon's character and reactions. Heck, even the last scene seems to be a re-imagination of what would've happened if Ji Hoon fearlessly communicated his feelings back then.
• Music: The songs were okay. But, I think this is the first time I ever felt that the background instrumentals failed to properly convey the urgency of the scenes. It was the same multiple times.
• Final Thoughts: It's not terrible, but the script was undoubtably a failure. So, I suggest you close your eyes and attempt to understand the characters and dive in to decide on your own whether something is very wrong.
