This would have worked as a movie!
Dropped around ep 5. i cant watch any longer. It feels like a chore I'm forced to do when I'm all snuggled up in my bed, like your relatives drop by to hang out and you are required to join the crowd. Such an inconvenient and lengthy situational instance.
Visually beautiful and really good setting and backdrops though. In terms of characters and plot, pacing all exhausting. I think they should have focused more on carving characters out, we did get their through process which feels like they were reading a script technically right! Like surfacing their struggles or way of living rather than showing how each personality contrasted from one another or their choices. I'm mainly talking about the first couple cause my beef is with them with the story mostly covering their side.
Their banter so dull and often times feels repetative. The few scenes are not long enough to connect with someone, I'm not them so I can't decide that yup! As for the chemistry its non-existent. I know this is a "melo" but, for a build up of the turmoil of emotions, bitter conflicts in their relationship there is a need for a concrete romantic story that makes you want to consider that they deserve to have a second chance in love come on even the first time they briefly got together feels abrupt and forced too. The time skip was too big and the characters are now assigned job titles and are well....settled a bit i guess, again just cutting down on a lot of process that could have given us an outlook on how they got to where they are now.
Everything feels redundant and contrived, nothing natural nor is the pain or the trauma, the ups and downs of people in 30s trying to reach their dreams and manage relationships with a vision of melo-romance(?) Idk the description was kinda like that. Anyways it fails majorly, this is a wasted potential with a sloppy direction, characters that lacked depth and no emotional connection and plot is just a plain dried bread sitting on counter for too long.
Osts and the cinematography is good, the casting stellar in terms of visuals too but its all nah-nah-uh for me with how bad it's going. I do like Kim jae-wook and love him here with the mullet and playing a considerate, consumed in guilt/helplessly dependent yet is a good companion, optimistic and a reliable bro to gyeom role. Also the director was an interesting chummy character.
5/10 or maybe 6/10.
