on ep1 and i'm already captivated by the breathtaking cinematography. First time seeing FL and she's so stunning.--on…
also the story with two main leads felt kinda incomplete? unsure whether it is a writing or acting issue, but here is my thoughts: -male lead kept female lead hostage in search for the branch. female lead is super uncomfortable with male lead and male lead tries to 'make' her remember by showing female lead's old possessions to her. female lead does not remember despite male lead's effort and lets female lead go after she expresses she wants to leave. male lead lets her go.. and female lead leaves. later she returns to help male lead with finding the branch even after he tries to keep her hostage.. ik female lead has amnesia, but I don't know if I would return to help someone who tried to capture me and aggressively remind me who I was. they definitely care about each other.. but i felt like this hostage scene was a bit of a scratching my head moment because to me it seemed like from the female lead pov it was slightly dumbed down or overlooked? anyway i digress. -male lead has a grand entrance at the beginning.. but later when female lead recognizes male lead as her lover, male lead... is reminded of the old times. what happened to the aggressive male lead at the beginning? -also there is no dialogue whatsoever in the male lead's pov and/or attempt to communicate why he was angry at the beginning. misunderstanding #1. -second male lead started out strong at the beginning too, he wanted to marry and protect female lead which he does show throughout. tho i felt no depth to his character. he was just a funny and nice guy to me. -similar to 2nd male lead, the king who was acting as the villain could have more depth to his character, yet he was portrayed as someone who is purely evil. -backstory for male lead is heavy and dark, this could have been more fleshed out with male lead's acting. instead, it is chalked up to the same clenching fist and emotionless expression.
i felt disappointed by the drama lol. but i agree, the palette, ambience, and choreography looked good here.
tldr; i agree. the acting with the male lead and inconsistencies with the story threw me off.
