i've been recommended this drama a couple of times, but at first i thought of it as a typical high school drama and refuse watching it. yesterday, after finishing Weightlifting fairy kim bok joo i was in the search of a new drama to watch. i came across Extra-ordinary You trailer and then got interested in watching it. (as a sucker for fantasy dramas)
tbh just after finishing 1st episode i was sure that this will be on my top dramas list. i was the most excited and hooked when i think in episode 4 or 5 when dan-oh found out that she's not a main character. i've been very much interested as to what will happen next.
today i continued from epi 5 to epi 32 and i just finished the drama.
i loved the visuals ! the warm effect when the stage is over and the cool effect when the shadow is over.
i liked lee do hwa so much! he had a funny personality and he is the most handsome one imo and the way he and dan-oh comments about the cringy lines in the comic. i also liked the scenes sae-mi and her friend who wears glasses, dried squid fairy and his past life lover and dan-oh and haru scenes along the pond in the forest full of fireflies! that moment felt magical :)))
the drama went downhill towards the middle and im pretty much annoyed by the repetitive flashbacks. like what the heck? when (mostly) haru has a conversation b/w dried squid fairy or baek kyung, then after that, he will have flashbacks about it for like 3 or 4 times.
but despite all the plot-holes i loved the drama and it became one of my favorites!
