Too much drama
Dear Hongrang starts with a really interesting premise: a family torn by inner power struggles, torn further apart by the disappearance of their male heir, whom one day returns with no memories of his childhood.
This kdrama shines through its production: the cinematography is a key element of it. The use of shadows and light gives the story a more nuance understanding of the characters and their actions. The performances are solid, with an impressive character growth, although not perfect.
The weakest point, in my opinion, it’s the script which it’s trying to do too much in too little time and without a more detailed development. I think this would have been solved if the story had stuck to the original premise, instead of reaching towards other storylines that took time and screen from tbe main conflict.
Overall, this is a very entertaining and engaging drama.
