If only they reduced the excessive long pauses….
… I would have liked “Every You, Every Me” a lot more. This drama went under the radar since the lead actors are not as well-known and are still quite new to the industry. A few fast facts -
What I dislike the most:
* Too many long pauses between sentences. This dramatically slows down the pace of the drama and worse when it involves two young actors who are not experienced enough to show microexpressions on their faces.
What I have mixed feelings about:
*Inconsistent acting of the leads. They are still new, so I can’t expect them to be as good as many others. But that doesn’t mean I should give it a full pass as it did affect my viewing pleasure. But I do think Top and Mick were best in the last arc, and especially that short scene about the workshop.
What I like:
* The concept of the drama: where the same actors (Top and Mick) are in 5 unique storylines playing the main characters. I also particularly enjoy the last story when it’s a quick recap of the first 4 stories and expertly using the reaction video to tell us the romantic journey of Inn and Pun.
Ep 1 - Sun/Dol = I like this unique story about rain and color. It reminded me a little of the KBL “Color Rush”. The story is simple and cute.
Ep 2 - Prin/First = This is a more common storyline about the boss/secretary. We’ve seen a million of them. Grandma was cute but she’s crossing that boundary a little. This is an easy watch but the least memorable of the 5 stories.
Ep 3-4 - Namping/X = This seems to be everybody’s favorite, but not for me. I have the most to criticize even though I was moved in the end. I think the script and the pacing are the biggest problem for me. I fell asleep during this arc (but also probably because it was Friday night and I was tired from a long week of work). Did X just fall in love by accidentally having a love-at-first-sight moment years ago? What’s the background story? Namping/Top is so gorgeously feminine that I couldn’t take my eyes off him. But I don’t agree with Namping’s decisions. Additionally, the side couple does not bring anything to the general story and it’s just there for the sake of being there.
Ep 5-6 - Sian/Blue = This is the flirtiest one and I like their chemistry and banter. Top was super handsome with the cool long hair, being topless and showing off his muscles every chance he gets. We got some wonderful kisses and skinship as well. However, that bit about Blue and his friend seems out-of-place.
Ep 6-8 - Pun/Roi-Inn = My favorite story of the drama to tie everything together. The acting is the best during this arc. There isn’t too many plotholes or things I dislike, except again, the long pauses between sentences.
Overall, I recommend “Every You, Every Me” due to its interesting concept. If you can tolerate the pauses and silence, you will enjoy it more than me. Giving this an 8.0 to bump up the rating a little, even though objectively, this is more of a 7.5-7.75.
