Drama that had potential at the start but really died at the end
I got into this drama late, but joined in because this drama had an ongoing battle with the pearl girl drama next door so I wanted to check if this drama really was better than the other one. (because in terms of ratings it was beating the other drama domestically, and the leads here have a better costume than the other one and camera overall)
I managed to watch quite a few episodes at the start which really got me hooked on it and waiting for every new episode (up to ep 13 i think). The story was moving quick, fast without any fillers in content or useless standing around and talking. Only when it got to about I think ep23 onwards, then I really felt that unnecessary dialogue was coming into play and that it was getting a bit dragggy (ngl, it could also have been because I didn't care much about the ML's parents love story). It felt like the drama was trying to throw in plot twists but really I did not see it come into play. The ending was overall disappointing and majorly cliched for what it was, like you did not have to throw in a good ending unnecessarily, a sad ending could work as well. Because the ending felt super forced, I felt upset that it just became a boring idol costume drama again. SO, I'm really warning you cos this could end in u feeling really really like ANTI CLIMATIC.
However, I need to complement their PR team for putting effort in drama promotions and the costume department for making costumes aesthetically pleasing to our eyes so that not everyone else is in white like they are in some funeral. I also thought that the drama at least did not completely ruin the original setting of the book, and if edited, did so well for drama adaptation.
The acting how do I say, not particularly outstanding but watchable for the eyes. let's just put it there.
i would rant if this drama had major plot holes and logic failures but since this is a fantasy drama, there can be some exceptions tho I absolutely hate those. my one major rant has to do with the ending, like BRO WHY SO SAPPY??????? LIKE CAN WE STOP THE STARE INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES WHILE ROTATING IN SOME WEIRD OMBRE BACKGROUND and cry and go "dont do this" like fr. stop it. its not romantic. its like a killkoy.
ok that's it. like it really went from yayyyyyy to uuuuuummmm to ugggggghhhh to plain disappointment.
