Unexpected discovery
First of all, please bear with me, as it is my first time writing a review.
I decided to do this because I was amazed by the main actors. I was initially interested in it because of Song Kang (who I really liked in My Demon). However, the unexpected discovery for me was Lee Jun Young. I was really amazed by his acting and the way he portrayed Choi Joung-yo. I love how he switched his character from a bubbly high school student to a mature adult. There’s no way out for me. I just love him. (I’ve watched his previous works before, such as When Life Gives You Tangerines, Imitation, and Badland Hunters, and I didn’t know it was him.) Thus, this one really stuck with me and made me want to learn more about him.
Song Kang also played the role well. There are a lot of scenes without dialogue, but just through his eyes, you can feel the emotions he is trying to convey. My favorite scene was in Episode 12 when he found the church where Choi Joung-yo might be.
Anyway, enough of that. Moving on to the review of this beautiful work, aside from the main characters, all the actors played their characters really well. Notably, Kang Ji-hye (Pi O’s mother). She was so great that it really pissed me off. Hahaha. Like, how can you do that to your son?! Another notable character is Jo Hyun-cheol (Choi Joung-yo’s older friend). From time to time, I think he was a better friend than Pi O. He was always there for Joung-yo, even helping him take care of his father. The best! No one seemed to be on Choi Joung-yo’s side except him.
On the other hand, some characters were not fully developed. For example, Yoon Sun-ju (Grandpa’s 2nd wife). I was expecting more from her character. It seemed to me that she was always using Joung-yo for her own pride and to accomplish something. I feel bad that they completely forgot about Joung-yo after he disappeared, but when he returned, they used him again.
The love stories between Pi O and Jae-in, as well as between the mother and the teacher, were unnecessary for me. The drama could survive without those. There were also a few parts that didn’t make sense to me, like how Choi Joung-yo, when searching for answers about what happened to him, was led to believe that Pi O was the one who tried to kill him. But when Pi O was the one searching for him, he found out that it was actually his mother.
The cinematography and music were great as well. There wasn’t much OST, but with the main character playing the piano, that was all it needed. Overall, it was a great drama, and I will definitely recommend it.
