I don't normally watch this type of show, but saw it recommended and it looked good, so i thought i'd give it a try. The main plot focuses on In + Korn who commit suicide because of their parents Homophobia, but are reincarnated and find love with each other again. This is a very intriguing + original plot to me + shines light on how still some of the world perceive antiquated ideals.
Sadly some of that potential top be a great series, falls short, due to the lack of story development + variation of scene. There are far too many long scenes of uncontrollable crying for unclear reasons + an unforgivably insane amount of scenes where the characters just stare at each other. I mean literally sometimes 15 mins at at a time (that's a 3rd of an episode just on one scene of staring).
The other thing i didn't like was the repetition of music. Some of the tracks are very nice pieces of music, but not when used multiple times, every single episode, like come on, is this extremely low budget?
Thankfully i still enjoyed the series for most part, especially the book ends, mainly due to the excellent acting skills of everyone involved, especially Fluke + Earth, (who are both incredibly cute too btw) but also Koi, who plays Ahn. All 3 of these talented actors are outstanding + can act most westernised actors of the stage.
So to summarise then, this was a worthy project, which tugged at the heartstrings, but was bordering boring at times due to the drawn out repetitive scenes, leaving me believing this could have been 100 times better if it were simply a 90 minute movie instead of 17 episodes.
