Fantastic First Half, Draggy Second Half
The headline pretty much sums it up.
I loved the overall concept. The first half of the season kept me SO HOOKED. Like I just wanted to binge and binge and binge. Every episode ended with a cliffhanger, nothing was making sense but also making sense, we just HAD to know what happens next. This, paired with the perfect OST at the end was just SO memorable, definitely A+.
But they couldn't retain this hype throughout the second half which was very, very disappointing.
One thing I loved about the show the most was Eun Dan-o's exaggerated reactions to all the cringe scenes. But that just seemed to stop towards the end. Like, she didn't react to stuff. That kinda made it a bit boring for me.
And I felt like a lot of the mysteries could have been solved sooner? Like, we could cut short 2 episodes.
One more thing was I didn't feel very much emotionally attached to any of the characters. Like, I didn't cry when I saw they were in pain, I didn't feel it. Mind you, all the pain comes in the second half only; when they realise their fate and what is the price they have to pay if they change it.
The first half was extremely funny, engaging and I truly had the butterflies anytime something happened. But during the second half, except for that star scene, I couldn't feel anything.
Gyeong's character was written pathetivcally tbh. They could have shown that he was a good person a bit earlier, because otherwise it just seems like he's doing everything out of vengeance and not true love. So even though I understand the whole concept and why they made Gyeong the way he is, it was kinda disappointing.
Ha Ru was perfect tbh. Eun Dan O perfect. Honestly, individually all of them had great characters, especially the "extras", Sae Mi and all. Beautiful. 👏🏻
Whereas the first half of the show is a perfect binge watch, the second half would be something that is more enjoyable on air. I say so because the second half seems kinda draggy as it features the same concept thingy on a loop tbh, but people who watched it on air would have definitely enjoyed it as they would have come in without much retention of the previous episode.
TL:DR; Overall : a one time watch.
OST on loop.
Certain scenes will always be replayed on YouTube.
A bit draggy towards the end, not so much for a non-binge watcher.
Amazing concept, great execution. A bit of a let-down towards the end. Nevertheless, a great one-time watch drama!
7/10
