Inflicts hurt as much as it heals
As You Stood By has many good components to it.
- Primarily, the relationship between Eun-su and Hui-su (and of course, Mr. Jin). This relationship serves as both the stakes and the breather, in its dual nature, greatly contributing to the show.
- It also explores all sides of domestic violence, of everything that contributes to such a case, in an appropriate manner.
- Every character is strong in the sense of their personality and values, making them all distinct from one another.
- The entire cast did great with acting!
- The music did a great job for its respective scenes.
As for the flawed components, at times I felt like the writing was too spontaneous, so I couldn't suspend disbelief. Certain characters did actions that did not contribute to the story (or the dialogue was awkward), and the ending felt rushed and weak.
In conclusion, don't expect perfection, but it is enjoyable. Although some might call it slow, I thought the pacing was sufficient, but that might be different from person to person. Either way, I do recommend everyone to watch this and have their own thoughts on it.
