A show that I will recommend only to selected people
I finished Twenty Five Twenty One and had to find something with NJH to watch. Et voila, Netflix started carrying this show. I have read that this show is not well written, etc. However, I was in a NJH bender so I clicked play.
During the first 5-6 episodes, I kind a enjoyed it but the comical part of the show was just too slapstick humor for me. As much as I love NJH and his visual in this show, the moodiness of Lee Joon Ha in the show wasn't appealing. Yet, I held on because I just need my NJH fix and the performance of actress KJH was just so good.
When the story of Lady Chanel started to unfold, I started to get more interested and became so invested because of the emotional acting from NJH. Episode 10 Harvengers for me was like WTH is this.
However, when twist happened, I was floored. It is the most mind blowing twist I have ever seen. I can only recall another movie, Inception, that had a similar affect with a twist.
After the twist, the first 10 episode started making sense for me, like looking at an out-of-focus scope being brought into focus.
The confusing stories, the outrageous events or behaviors; all are brought into focus and had a completely realistic and logical reason. Even LJH's moodiness could be explained as Hee-Ja reflection of how Joon-Ha felt.
This is why I love this show so much. It is meaningful but entertaining, funny but heart-rending but heart-warming at the same time. The creator and actors/actresses showed great commitment, courage and confidence to dare something like this. I can imagine how many people could not get past episode 5 or 6. I almost did not make it if not for my NJH addiction. Once I finished it the first time though, I went back and watched every second of it the 2nd time and enjoyed it even more. I was too confused the first time. Plus, like many other watchers, I wanted the young Hee-Ja to come back so I did not know to savor the story being told.
Now that I have pour my heart out about how much I love this show, I have to say that the show could have condensed the first 10 episodes. The story did not need all of the first 10 episodes to make the case for the twist. In fact, this would have been a wonderful story for a movie.
That's all I got today. I have rewatched this show multiple times already and thought I should share my thoughts. :)
