Bittersweet Short Drama on Letting People Go
I'll try to spoil as little as possible. I think for the type of storyline, length, and cast this was a good watch! Side note: I have to be honest and tell you guys I cried like a baby watching this. I watched this a few years back, but I remember the storyline and my feelings quite well. I think I cried a lot in this drama because I looked deeper into the drama theme of letting people go. I was probably at a point in my life where I needed to see this message, and it hit me good.
STORY
Yoo Tan is in a band with his childhood friends and girlfriend Moon Da In. They are not doing well as a band, and he's in a slump. He decides to join a music label. Once he gets into the label, he casts away his bandmates and girlfriend since he is tired of his old life and wants more. He soon finds that the new path he paved for himself isn't as luxurious as he wanted it to be. He goes back to his old life to finds out that it can never the same anymore.
It's a cliche plot of a boy casting aside a girl and then regrets it, with some fantasy elements thrown in. However, when one looks past the cliche, the deeper themes of the story that gets told is touching. I think everyone can relate to Yoo Tan and his journey with his music passion. When one works so hard for something to succeed and it doesn't go well, one will be stuck in a stage where we question the worth of our passion, how much time was spent on it, and if its worth pursuing. It is only then that we let our own desires make the call. Then we have our lead's relationship that's not as pretty that it once was. We see a relationship of a couple that started out sweet and how it dies out because of lack of care for the relationship. Then only through this time loop will we see the all the desperation that an individual is willing to do for what he/she desires. The theme of letting things go was well written. The regrets, the denial, and eventually the acceptance.
ACTING-CAST-CHARACTERS
Kim Myungsoo (aka L to our Inspirits) performed a lot better than I expected him to do. Especially during this time of his career. I've seen him in Shut up Flower Boy Band, and this felt like a massive step in performance. There were a few moments where I did feel awkward with his acting. However, it wasn't something that would sway me away from the story. I've seen Yoon So Hee in My Love Eun Dong, and I think she's a decent actress. I feel like they had good chemistry together as leads, and I definitely felt their emotions that they were trying to portray.
MUSIC
It's a drama about a band, so obviously, we get some music in here. The best one would have to be the main ost by Kim Myungsoo himself. The song embodies the whole drama and the stages of grief. The lyrics are a push and pull of how the protagonist feels.
RE-WATCH VALUE
I re-watched this at least twice already. It's eight episodes at 30 minutes each. It's a well-done storyline on a cliche trope that doesn't feel like it's getting dragged on. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a lighter feel of time loop dramas, but one with more depth to it.
