interesting. psychology when people hate a series then write a. review about it as long as 文化叙事詩 bunka epic presumably adding more wasted time to the time wasted watching it wwww
for me this drama has two main strengths： first it is an excellent portrayal of a dysfunctional family with one parent obsessed with achieving reflected glory for himself through his sons and the other too helplessly neurotic to function in the family at all、and Lee Jung Ha gives a truly great and sensitive performance showing the impact of this on him as the victim of his parents bullying and fighting back for victims of school bullying。secondly it has very good fight sequences although clearly often losing touch with reality and the constant violence does become too much at times。 the storyline is reasonable and at 8 episodes the show gets its message over without stringing it out with aimless repetition like many K dramas。 enjoyable in its way 。excellent job〜良く出来ましたね〜
-ーyou do not beat psychopathic bullies whether violent school bullies or boss bullies by beating them or getting the better of them and then trying to reason with them and not "finish them off"： giving another chance to bullies is likely to be your own last chance unless you put distance between you so this drama really needed to decide its message if it wanted to end on a happy note we can all accept as fiction fine、 but then don't make us endure hours of nasty violence from an unremitting psychopathic bully [actually well-played as such]but、 if you want to carry the dark theme to its logical conclusion you need a realistic ending although you can still decide which side delivers the final punch
mixed feelings about this one、 the parts were good but did not quite make sense as a whole。 it starts comedic and feel good then half way becomes a dark crazy violent whooparama that frankly I found difficult to endure、 then finally becomes a fluffy feel good again、 so they produce a drama one half about how tough the world is in reality and the other what we would all like it to be ideally and it ends on that note butー
on the surface this was a fine comedic drama until episode 5、 when it turns into a dark parable and the early story takes on deeper meaning with a true psychopath emerging and we can compare someone granted power who uses it well with someone having power who uses it for evil
some critical comments on the ending which was rather overdone I think ： １the idea anyone can present a construction bidding proposal having just faced death by fire and the stabbing of his true love is about as far from reality as you get 、you would need to have a heart of stone which completely contradicts the emotional character just displayed by Jung Da On ２it is becoming a tiresome trope in BL dramas the idea you can go through hell, anguish and near death of yourself and/or your true love and then happily agree one of you flies off to secure your business career abroad while your true love waits for you for a year： if this is supposed to inject real life into drama then it is totally misconceived as actually it's totally UNrealistic 〜 please let's just have happy endings and leave sordid mercenary motives out of romantic dramas 。
the word for this drama is tortuous、 both relationships and plot I think though things came together in the end (with some reservations for me ) very emotional and sweet and the epilogues in each episode provide an interesting context🌈❤️
seeing more of this I would say do not go by first impressions〜the contract idea is rather difficult to believe especially given the character of Su Hyeon
Cosmic🌟☄️〜 especially in final episodes though the ending was a little rushed and lacking in intimacy I thought but maybe in character for teenagers struggling to define their identity❤️🌈
"Don't be afraid of the cracks, that's where the light comes in." I like Taiwanese lgbt dramas because they treat the stories seriously and sensitively, with plenty of space for character development、 though in Unknown there is maybe a little too much space I think。 of course this may reflect the story itself as it is predicated on Wei Qian only being able to accept his feelings over a long period of time however、 against this we have the "four years later" trope which I am unsympathetic to as a device。 Some of the action in the middle such as the re-surfacing of the gang theme and its violence could have been left out without detracting from the story in my opinion.。for me the OST also became intrusive as in many dramas unfortunately and producers should realize songs do not replace a script and even silence has more effect in certain romantic situations. however these are minor criticisms of a well crafted and sensitive drama. I accept we need to know of this early stage in Qian's story to understand his eye problem later、 as also the flashbacks to his mother、a marked contrast （intended dramatically I assume)to the family he managed to create and foster..I particularly like the photos of various stages in the family's relationship in the end credits❤️🌈

２it is becoming a tiresome trope in BL dramas the idea you can go through hell, anguish and near death of yourself and/or your true love and then happily agree one of you flies off to secure your business career abroad while your true love waits for you for a year： if this is supposed to inject real life into drama then it is totally misconceived as actually it's totally UNrealistic 〜
