I just finished watching The Art of Sarah and felt 2 things. The drama was good, but what did I just watch?
What I liked about it:
The storyline was good, unique and interesting, with many twists and turns. The first 2 episodes got me hooked to watch more instantly! You have to watch each episode carefully to discover more, so it was not boring at all.
Pacing was ok too. Every episode was dedicated to unveil each past history / person Sarah Kim ever got involved or in touch with.
Acting and the casting of actors was magnificent. Shin Hye-sun was able to deliver all emotions that were needed for this show. She just proved how versatile and great of an actor she was! She was a very convincing main character villain, to the point that it was what drove the mystery of the whole drama. I wanted to know if her character was ever sincere or not.
We have some handsome actors too! Lee Jun-Hyuk, Shin Hyun-Seung, and Kim Jae-Won!
A lot of quotable quotes that would make you think and reflect.
What I didn't like about it:
Pacing was ok at the start but last two episodes felt rushed. Ending could have been better. Justice was served but was it really??
There were a lot of plot holes left too, there was no closure for some of the people Sarah Kim got involved with, and also for the detective. Honestly, the police department was useless till the end, so what was the point of them being there?
Is the show even meaningful or just 8 episodes of superficial nonsense?
Anyway, it was a good short watch, a new plot for a k-drama. The show overall, was a light mystery, not too gory or dark. If you're into fashion, high society, rich people drama like The Penthouse, Sky Castle, Return, this one could be for you.
