Graceful Friends is a rollercoaster, which had an up, and all went down.

This review is just my overall thoughts, will contain spoilers.

The story was the main problem here. It was, at first the very backbone of the story. The first half contained so much mystery, so much potential, so much directions the story that could have taken.

But it decided to take the worst route ever.

I was pretty sure, that I would bet my house on it that THAT ending wasnt the original. By EP14, there was still so much going on that I was confused on how they'll end it. By the end, literally NOTHING was answered. Who was Kangsan's killer? Is Yubin actually Jaehoon's child? Wtf Junghae what ya doin there?

Its frustrating to say the least. It would have been better if they extended it till 20 EP, instead ending like that. 5 and a half stars solely for the first 8.5 EPS.

The casting was glory. Everyone did their insane characters justice, especially Song Yoonah (who played Nam Junghae) and Bae Soobin (Jung Jaehoon). The character portrayal wasnt anything insane, but justice was there. Chemistry in rivalry, romance, friendship etc.

The music (both OST and BGM) was something to an extent, commendable. JTBC is an expert with these, unique suspenseful or romantic music. Although the only two OSTs they used during the drama became quite tiring after hearing them for 17 EPs. Its still fine.

Suprisingly, the rewatch value is high. This drama became my guilty pleasure for some reason. It was just a drama that you would at least wanna watch again, and try to come up with your own conclusion with all the mysteries.

Overall, I dont recommend this for easily frustrated people. But for someone solely looking for fun, or just insane things to watch, of just a unique murder mystery, you can watch this.
