The Light In Your Eyes left me confused.
I didn't expect this drama to turn out like this. I wouldn't say that I didn't enjoy it but it took me off guards.
The original story in itself is something we've seen before, a main character in her twenties with big dreams but no achievements nor love life, who meets a guy, ... But then we mix this basic plot with some sci-fi with time manipulation to finally erase this sci-fi thing and end up with another plot.
I felt like I was watching 3 different stories with familiar characters. I found the "plot twist" brilliant but maybe the idea was more interesting than the drama itself. I knew what they wanted to convey but it was poorly executed.
I don't think I would recommend it as I don't even know myself if I enjoyed it...
! SPOIL !
Some details actually made sense : her strong bond with her dad who happened to be her son, her helping her mother who happened to be her daughter in law at the hairsalon who was once hers, the breaking point being her wanting to save her dad/son from the accident, the watch being important for her and the "trigger".. And thats maybe all.
The comedy around her "brother" felt unnatural, the whole love story about him and her best friend felt forced and boring. I didn't get who was JoonHa in the first storyline when they meet because at the end he's a doctor with a different name and the real Joonha is long gone... Everything felt messy and rushed.
It felt like 3 different chapters
1. A girl in her twenties falls in love with a guy who made her life perception change
2. A girl with a mysterious watch suddenly gets old and watch a young man she loved go down and tries to help him
3. A lady is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and we learn about her past life (which doesn't connect with the previous parts)
The last part was the most interesting one. They could have erase the ten first episodes and the end would have been the same. Alzheimer's was accurately represented. If they had decided to go all in with the Alzheimer's plot, we would have seen a masterpiece.
Anyway, The Light In Your Eyes left me confused.
