Liccy Blue
In your imagination, babe.
Questa recensione può contenere spoiler
The first thing you should know about this drama is that it is very emotionally heavy. So, if you don't enjoy sad/somewhat depressing stories, you might want to pass on this one. On the flip side, if you don't mind tragic stuff, then ABSOLUTELY give this show a watch!
Story:
The premise isn't something original, but I didn't feel like I was watching something super cliche. I was invested from the very first episode (which is unusual for me). The way the series was put together (writing, cinematography, editing) from the very first scene is just breathtaking to me; I can't say that I've seen a drama story unfold in such a beautiful way. The story never fell flat at any point and it was unpredictable for the most part. The side stories fit naturally into the main narrative, I never had the urge to skip anything. Endings can make or break a drama for me and I gotta say that I was satisfied with this one. I appreciated the realistic feel and subtle ambiguity that was left at the end; not many writers can pull this off in a way that is natural; I was impressed.
Something else I noticed was how the first part of the show is mostly from the POV of Cha Young and slowly transitions into Kang's POV as the story progresses - that's one of my favorite things about this show.
Characters:
Loved them all! As the show progressed, I found myself caring about characters I didn't like at first. The side characters add to the story better than I anticipated - that's a plus. I liked the character development of the main characters the most (particularly Joon's character arc) because it was hard to tell just how they were going to react to the challenges presented - I was surprised at times, actually. I don't want to get into spoilers here, so this is where I'll leave it.
Acting:
10/10 - No complaints! Everyone was great, especially in the emotional scenes (and there are a lot of them).
Music:
I added the OST tracks to several of my Spotify playlists. That should tell you how I feel about the music. :P
Overall, if you like emotional melodrama stories (with medical and cooking aspects, as well) and touching side stories with excellently written characters, then yeah, WATCH IT.

Side note: this was my first time watching this writer's work - I'm officially a fan now.
