Awaiting eagerly for your opinion!
Maybe not a midnight watch, as I did, because it has some dark/heavy elements, (quite realistic ptsd scenes). lt also has a didactic tone in a scene, but I felt it was ok as they are trying to convey a message about rape as clearly as possible.

Thank you!!! A midnight watch with warm loyalty, love and social depth❤️
My take:
Main themes: redemption, healing, unconditional loyalty and love, social issues.
Both FL and ML are delivering their roles nicely, and they both have some scenes where they evidently make more use of their talent. These scenes are especially rewarding. 2ML also has many interesting acting moments and his bodywork has many interesting features. The children actors are very good, the young ML being really expressive and convincing.
The script includes elements of romcom, romance and melodrama, as well as a dose of psychological drama (the latter being a bit too much for my stomach, but very interesting and important nevertheless). Furthermore, it does center a lot on social issues, mainly FL's rape and on how victims are stigmatized by society, and it also does dwell a bit on ML's poor social standing (juvie and low economical status). As for the strictly romantic scenes they are written quite authentically, and delivered at heart racing pace. Unfortunately, the scriptwriter does make use of the deus ex machina element along the way, which could be very well avoided, since the characters are well written and founded. But this could have been an intentional choice (not due to laziness) in order to keep a balance between the light and heavy parts of the story, as well as keeping it in the entertaining realm of short length c-dramas.
The scenography is alright with two spaces having more visual interest (outside her appartment building -pool scene- and the underground boxing place). The costumes are well matched for the main characters, and in some scenes their costumes also add dramatic value. The visual directing choices have their good moments, and are alright the rest of the time. The cinematography the same, a few really interesting scenes and a standard good quality everywhere else. Soundwise the production was mostly fine, but since this really depends on the video quality it is probably better than I perceived. The editing was ratherabove than the average, quite smooth, and very interesting in some scenes, where I did stop, rewind and pause/freeze frames to see where exactly the editor had cut and why.
I would like to note that the whole team did their uttermost artistically and productionwise in the scenes where the issue of rape was being addressed. This was a very meaningful and respectful artistic choice of theirs, on which they poured all their professional effort in order to serve the common good. Their choice and effort should be regarded highly and be met with praise, respect and applause.
A good, thoughtfull and more serious production than the usual.
110/10 A must-watch!!! Great acting, story, scenery, cinematograpghy, scenography and costumes!!! This is a beautiful film shot in short-drama format!!!!
This is great way to rewind destress - not much toxicity except for FL's parents and ML's father. It's like a…
Totally agree! Though I found it way much better than any Hallmark movie I've watched!☺️
I will add that this is another c-drama with great male examples, going right into the "to watch" list for my older nephews and nieces (they get to learn Chinese, become educated on what decent men are like, eat veggie strips with yoghurt and at the same time they believe that this is a tv pastime for grown-ups allowed by the coolest aunt on earth! A win-win situation for all, and much better than them watching more risqué videos online.)
From an aesthetic perspective, the cinematography, and, particularly, the framing, was more artistic and interesting than the usual in verticals.

This one ends when ML n FL leave his parental home.

This one has many parts edited in the wrong sequence, but has an ending scene with him hurt or dead and FL crying holding him.
