There's so much to say, but I'll try to be short.
I already knew from all the teasing before the show was aired how it was going to turn out: All about the cinematography and IU. I hesitated for a long time but I finally gave it a try for IU, she never deceived me in anything she did and she still hasn't, yet I'm dropping this one.
From the too much colored, unnatural filters and imagery to the lacking plot, every aspect of this drama feels soulless. It doesn't matter how good the acting can be, it can't save it. This drama suffer from wanting to do too much in term of production throwing pretty stuff at it. It's ok as long as the package looks good, right?
Well, not really.
The drama is pretty popular and has good critics and I can understand why. It can be a good drama if you're looking for entertainment only. But if you're looking for emotions, deep plot and something special and touching, this drama has no interest at all.
All the little stories about the ghosts aren't touching, how could they be touching in the 30 minutes the screenwriters allowed to them. The rest of the time is dedicated to the protagonists standing in front of a tree trying to somewhat pull out any emotions you would have developed toward them. But I wonder how such thing is even possible in this setting, at best you're feeling sympathy, it might be enough for some, not for me.
I don't have anything negative to say about the overall acting. They were all ok, good at best but mechanical, nothing to exploit in the character given to them. Yeo Jin Goo did a good job in what he was asked, his character being there for IU's to shine, nothing else. IU was as expected amazing, but what she can do when she has the only seemingly interesting character in the show?
The cinematography was beautiful but every scenes felt empty, special effects doesn't change anything when what's happening isn't even remotely engaging.
I had no expectations for this drama to begin with, I am not even disapointed. I am more annoyed thinking I could have enjoyed an another drama with IU but sadly it wasn't the case.
