Wasted potential, might I say?
I binged watched first 7 episodes and was pretty confident that by the end of the series, it'd my favorite kdrama of all times. Unfortunately, it took a different turn. It felt like there was 2 parts and they followed whole different story. Gave off more of a different kdrama vibes.
In the first part, cinematography, story, acting and everything was top tier. Scenes in Canada must've been one of the mesmerizing things I've ever witnessed in kdramas. Characters seemed to be very well written and actors played them so well. Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung had a crazy chemistry and I loved how they portraited their characters' emotions. I loved Do Ra-mi's parts cause I thought writers would focus on Cha Mu-hee's mental well being and explain where it came from.
But it never happened. In the 1st part, I felt like it was just her struggling with some kind of PTSD and abandonment issues - meaning her telling herself she doesn't deserve to be loved and she'd never be loved.
But in the 2nd part I was lowkey confused and didn't know where it was heading to. Then I though maybe Do Ra-mi is Cha Mu-hee's split personality!? Cause that'd make much more sense. I was wrong again. They portrayed Do Ra-mi as being her own mother. But if we're being honest, shouldn't that be considered a problem mental wise? I guess not. It's such a plot hole.
On the other hand, what actually happened to her mother? If they weren't going to explain how their reunion went, what was even the point of bringing that up? Her parents being dead would make much more sense in a way.
I loved Ji-seons' and Yong-gu's storyline. I loved their characters so much and I'm grateful they got their happy endings. Kdramas should take notes how one can move on from their first love without making things complicated.
They did make Hiro so wrong tho. What was Do Ra-mi even trying playing with his feelings?
I feel disappointed cause it had so much potential. They had budget, actors and every resource possible. All they had to do was stick to their own storyline that never happened.
I'm giving 9 cause I can see myself going back to first few episodes.
