I saw this after watching Jirisan, just clicked on it without reading the synopsis, and bang, i did an allnighter and reached episode 8. The rest i finished it all last thursday, with a re-watch for ep 11-16 last night coz i just cant get over it.
Well, honestly the male lead piqued my interest, being Reply 1988 as the only drama i watched of him, plus, i mistook the female lead as the 1 in Chicago Typewriter... but i had 1 great drama time.
Reasons:
1. The perfomannce of the protagonists are superb (facial expressions, delivery of lines, appearance).. their lines are mostly narrative, like they are not directly delivering them, it takes a different kind of focus, esp us depending on subtitles, to tell which is which. No offense, but i think younger audience usually dont appreciate this technique but its highly intelligent. Plus i love his expressive eyes, really.
2. the characters portrayed and the artists suited perfectly. The 15-year gap maybe a reall no-no to others but the male lead's job as an escort to that of the lady lead's life experience logically supports the possibility, despite here uprightness. Their chemistry seems far-fetching but hell yeah, its strong.
3. the song and the cinematography. Episode 11-12 is a must must see
4. The artistic switching from present to flashback to present, missing a scene would make u feel lost
5. And a lot more so i hope u will give it a try...
