The cinematography saved this
I agree with the other reviews saying this started strong. I don't about others but this initially gave me Given vibes.
What I liked:
Number 1 in the list is the cinematography. I can't explain why Japan dramas are just so aesthetically pleasing. Their cinematography is just chef's kiss. Even the way the sun casts shadows is beautiful.
Next, the main actors' acting were pretty decent too. Although, I feel like it's too short to build enough chemistry.
Room for improvements:
After the confession in the roof top, everything crumbled. I feel like the story needed a bit more time to really develop the second arc (the post high school life). We don't even know what happened to the MC'S family. The world building after high school was basically nonexistent.
They could've have given us a few more songs or music considering the MC is a musician. For a series with a musician as the main character, the soundtrack could be better.
I noticed J dramas in general tend to bathe in silence lol. Sometimes, I want them to just talk it out.
Overall verdict:
Depth of Field isn't the worst series aired this year but it's nowhere near close to being in the pool of the good ones.
