My Review:
This K-Drama is short but sweet. This is the second time I tried watching short K-Dramas or what’s popularly known as web drama. I must say I’m enjoying watching something nice with minimal time for me to waste to watch it. It is not perfect but indeed very cute to watch. A nice romcom that brings full entertainment.
So, What do I Like About this K-Drama?
(1) I like Taecyeon as Do Jin Woo. It is the first time I noticed him as an actor and he made this web drama endearing.
(2) I like that it is not too long, so, the events happen very quickly. No time to get bored with a 15 minute K-Drama per episode.
(3) I enjoy that it has flavor of all the genre but kept it simple. There’s romance, light drama and a suspense plot at a span of very short 12 episodes, so, what’s not to like?
(4) Beside the supernatural gift of Do Jin Woo, they put an element of suspense which made it more interesting.
(5) For a short K-Drama the OST is quite beautiful to listen to.
What I do Not Like About this K-Drama?
There are bits of flaws for this K-Drama to be perfect but because it was too short, it didn’t make a big impact on its entertainment value for me. However, these flaws could have been fixed and it could have been that great in the end.
(1) Why did they get this Kim Jong Mun to play Kang Hyun Seo. His acting is so fake that he makes me cringe when he’s in the scene.
(2) If you can kill someone for money, then, literally that person has no conscience, so, why allow for the person you want to murder to stay alive? It was kinda stupid way to do it especially leaving a witness to your crime.
(3) It is already too short yet it still spends time on flashbacks. Can’t the writer spend more time on explaining why Do Jin Woo got the gift of seeing the future? It would have been better to make more time in making the story tight and perfect rather than concentrating more on the love story. Even if I am a certified romcom gal, I would have enjoyed it more if they developed more the story.
Would I recommend this K-Drama? Yes, when you need to have a short break.
