Sometimes loveline in a non-romance drama can be even more captivating than a melo/ romcom, this show has that potential. No hot kisses or free falling cliches in this scene but still manages to make you fluttering. Acting, directing, music all on point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_pguEbb1Dw
LJH is a Baeksang best actor with multiple hits, enough said. He doesn't have to look up to anyone else. After a romcom (KTL) that gave him popularity, it's wise for him to take on other genres. A good actor needs breakthrough rather than staying in comfort zone. Also don't compare a romcom with a life drama, two shows pursue different things. They are not even competing shows in same timeslot.
It's more a life drama. A genre that blends humorous, lighthearted moments with deep and emotionally challenging scenes. A drama that makes you laugh and cry.
ML's acting isn't great but bearable, not to a point that would distract me from viewing. The plot and storytelling are compelling enough to keep me engaged. And Go Hyun Jung...100% sure Baeksang nomination next year.
The teaser poster got that young comics (shonen manga) vibe, along with a punchy tagline impressed me. Seems TvN is trying to modernize the look and feel of this period drama, so far it worked out quite well based on the contents released.
