A Moment of Warmth that Transcends Time and Space
Snowy Night: Timeless Love portrays its title quite literally throughout the show. It was a poignant journey that stirred my feelings all the way through.
The story may seem a bit redundant and conventional, but for a person like me, who loves delving into the crevices of characters and extracting the essence of their core, this show completely satisfied that need.
At the beginning, I didn’t fully comprehend the director’s message, yet now it’s clear before me. This show is about people with obsessions, characters filled with nostalgia, longing for family, and burdened with homesickness. It is a complex work, as the director poured sweat and tears into weaving masterful character arcs.
The characterization was what hooked me until the end. All the characters were obsessed — if I may say so — each with a family he or she could not attain or save. Even the villains wanted to belong, which brings in another theme the director was trying to convey: Where do estranged humans belong? What is belonging? And how does it feel not to belong? We were offered several answers to these questions through the estranged characters who clung to the faint hope that they could save their beloved, but sigh...
Cinematography was a great metaphor that depicted the duality of the protagonists relationship, this snowy cold scenery was a symbolism of the timelessness of their love, its destiny of never being fulfilled, and more of that this natural atmosphere of snow was a mirror into the inner turmoil of each character. The camera choices of long shots in the snow depicts how each soul is roaming isolated cold and hopeless.
As a Film production student I want to say a quote by my dr.: " to create unconventional narratives one should create a conventional narrative and infuse it with originality" and this show translated this phrase verbatim. they transformed this superficial story into a spiritual emotional ride.
This show, as I said in the comments, is like a poem. It lingers, because as the title says, it’s timeless. The romance line was undefined, which exposed me "at least" to many models of love. I initially started this expecting melancholic love story "and it was", yet now I’m overflowing with emotions, because this love is epic. The whole series is a mystical odyssey that genuinely left me in awe.
