100% Era (2021)

Interesting drama!

There’s another reviewer who said this drama stood out to them.

HELL YEAH IT DID.

I loved it! Until the end ... Lol we’ll get to that —
This webdrama literally felt like a dystopian story and that’s one of the main reasons I loved it, it had futuristic elements that honestly I could see happening, it wasn’t so far off the unrelatable train either, the main couple were interesting, there were some twists and turns (including an almost assault scene that imo .. didn’t really need to happen, idk why the writers threw it in there *eyeroll*), pretty much this mini-drama kept me interested till the very end ...
Till the very end ... The ML literally just ... disappears and no joke, that’s the last time we see him lol, it was kind of awkward actually, I don’t know if the actor irl had scheduling conflicts or what happened, but it was just sudden he left and the story could’ve been way better if he stayed :/ the writers missed the ball on this one, and the end felt flat because of it, anticlimactic, but overall, this was an enjoyable drama and the child actors in the first couple episodes really shined! I’d definitely recommend this drama to someone who’s looking for “short and sweet” :’)

interesting and well-executed

This webdrama stood out to me because not only it imagines possible future but also shows less sugar coated version of teen life. A lot of webdramas take place in school setting, however the story can be a hit or miss. Here the school setting is crucial to the story, and it's not just a background.

The story was surprisingly full of twists and turns, and I couldn't really predict the direction it would go. It's almost as if the channel 찐엔딩 wants to make less obvious stories their trademark? All their past webdramas would leave the viewer scratching their head.

All main characters were well-fleshed out and had their own obstacles to go through. I liked the acting, I have no complaints. Both leads had good chemistry and that worked well to make their characters' dynamics believeable. Heejae is not a typical webdrama character to me, I liked that she had obvious flaws. Sidae's character was similar to what the actor played before but at the same time, he does a great job each time so I don't mind. Heejae's mom is a very polarizing character, at one hand she is very hard on her daughter, but at the same time she has her reasons.

I really liked the music. Shin Jihoon is a very underrated singer, and I'm glad to hear her music so prominently featured. The songs really suited this webdrama and elevated the mood.
Another notable thing is cinematography. There is no oversaturation or weird filter, everything looks realistic. The colour grading is well-done, everything is cohesive. The school rooms seem to be cold, but the little corner our leads make is warm. I liked this attention to detail.


Overall, this is a webdrama worth watching. To me, the story was engrossing enough that I couldn't wait for new episode every week. It's not fast paced so it might not be for everyone, but I still enjoyed it a lot. It's not easy to imagine the future and make it believeable. I command the cast and crew for making such thought provoking webdrama.
