EXCHANGE OFFICER
Esta resenha pode conter spoilers
I've recently started watching KDramas and didn't quite know what to expect. It was my number 5 or 6 in a row of other more or less recent shows. I took my que from Quora, where I read countless reviews of different shows and it turned out to be a good tactic. But this was an ongoing show. Was it going to be any good?
Yes. It was.
My review is based partially on the Japanese version of the show. I mastered the courage to watch the last two episodes of it and I painfully regretted it. It was so extremely dark and crippling in its atmosphere, I was worried the Korean version would carry the same characteristics. It did not. Luckily, the way TSHLYE tells the story is more palatable, not as shocking YET it takes a solid grip on you. What confirmed the feeling of me being totaly consumed by the story, was how difficult it was to wait for the subbers to finish their job. I was forced to wait up to ten days between the consecutive parts were being released. But at least I could see two episodes in nearly one go which helped immensely and confirmed me in the righteousness of my choice of drama. I rarely feel this way about western shows as they are reared towards men and are full of crime, guns, sex and with one dimensional characters and countless episodes.
My review is in no manner an attempt at dissecting every single aspect TSHLYE it to prove it was perfect or not. For me to classify a drama as worth rewatching , it needs to make me feel emotionally invested in the story DESPITE its obvious flaws, be it bad acting, plot holes, boring music or inconsistencies of any kind. This show did.
SIG is an excellent actor. He also left a mark on the show musically and thus proven he truly is a multitalented guy. JSM, whom I watched in "Because This Is My First Life" is perfect in her role of an ordinary yet resilient human being and I truly enjoyed interactions between her and SIG, a presumed murderer. The connection was so deep and honest between the two - one more reason to rewatch the show. Somewhere in the distant future, because I'm just NOT quite done crying over my Romeo and Juliet.
