Good for up to 8 episodes
When I saw the reviews and ratings from others, I was confused because at first, it didn’t seem like a bad series for me. Maybe it was because Park Bo Young was the lead, and the story was about movie enthusiasts, something I relate to. I would say I did enjoy the series, but not until the last two episodes. The story felt somewhat shallow for me. I understand the regret and hatred toward someone who neglected you at a young age because I can relate, having been in a similar position growing up. It was impactful when they discussed Mu Bi's hatred and pain, but by the last few episodes, it became too much and started to feel redundant.
I liked how they portrayed life after losing someone dear to you. I also appreciated the representation of having no will to live but continuing to live for someone else. However, the story itself was weak. As for the second couple, I just didn’t know how to feel about them. The girl couldn’t communicate her likes and dislikes to her boyfriend for 7 years, and then she suddenly left. I get that 7 years was too long for her to bear everything, but the problem was the lack of communication. She just left, then came back and begged him to create music with her. The guy was also at fault. Honestly, I didn’t care whether they ended up together or not.
What I really liked about the drama was Gyeom's love for movies, how it healed him and lifted his spirits. Director Ma was also the best character in this drama. I appreciated Mu Bi’s childhood friend and Mu Bi's mother, as well as Gyeom’s brother, who gave everything for his younger sibling. His story was the best part of the drama. They should have shown what happened instead of rushing it, but it was still so good. His impact on the drama was significant. Everything else, though, felt lacking, especially the chemistry between the leads. It just wasn’t there.
Still, it was nice to watch something I could truly relate to: the love for movies.
