A controversial subject that could have been written better
Where do I even start?Recently I decided to check out the old classics cos there is no ways am going to seat through queen of tears and all dramas coming up nowadays..So After being traumatized by Mr Sunshine's sad ending,I decided I need to cleanse my palate with a movie that is fluffy and giggly..Then I passed by TikTok,big mistake..someone was suggesting kdramas that you should watch alone..and Obsession was top of the list..I went in after reading all the reviews and the low resting but I didn't care.
This is my take in the whole saga:
The cinematography was perfect for this era,as an interior designer even the furniture met the mid century modern for that era..
The cast is ok, obviously the ML is popular so you wouldn't miss him, watching him in another 2014 movie with the Chinese actress who he dated.
So his presence was felt..even Uhm Tae Goo before he became famous had a role in there..
The FL on the other hand,I have nothing much to say than what other comments have said..let's just conclude that She stuck to the script and copied and pasted..The rest of the cast did their Jobs as directed.. nothing over the top.
Now to the controversial s*ex scenes..that many felt were graphics..yes they were and am an adult but it was rated for mature audience so I wasn't surprised the only problem is that the Director or the light people could have changed the ambience to make it less out there.. literally you could have seen the pubic hair if you zoomed closely.
Having watched 2 western movies of this trope..It would have been better to reduce the s*x scenes and the gossips and use that time to build the "love story" between the leads,am quoting it because under no circumstances I do not support cheating of any kind..I believe in two people who find themselves in the wrong relationship to go their separate ways especially when no children involved..
Nevertheless this can be made into a short drama of 6 episodes and the build up might make this a top watch..
They went from one night stand or should I say one car stand to "I love you" can't be without you..
Even a mosquito could see that was not love,it was just something different from the ass kissing husband of the FL and the radio wife of the ML.

The only Historical K-drama that leads don't die...well almost
I have been tiptoeing around historical dramas due to the bad ending..the last one made me sob like a little baby..But lo and behold here we are.it's my first drama by the famous Kim Soo Hyun of the popular Queen of tears,after watching him though it's in his younger years(2012) I understand now why he is loved by all..He is that good.. especially emotional scenes..
Overall I really liked it..it has the usual sad parts of historical dramas but at least we only lost a good person..I will leave at that without spoiling the plot
