A mournful retelling of Korea’s fight for independence
It wasn’t the best Korean period drama discoursing the topic of independence fighters that I have watched, but it is indeed one of the most remarkable.Not a fan of longer series, but if Different Dreams was stretched into its rightful extent in order to reveal a much more refined storytelling, then count me in to watch more of it. With the weight of the story, this series deserves more of what has been shown to us since I really felt that it was kind of fast-paced.
Anyways, I would love to imagine that this ended in a much hopeful narrative, as shown in the last few seconds of the series. But when I get to be reminded that a large fragment of this drama is based on real characters and historical facts, it makes my feelings shrink into the deepest of abyss.
From a personal note, this is one of the saddest Korean shows I have watched. This is rooted from my mournful visit to reality, especially when I realized that their fight for independence remains to be endured when Korea eventually became divided into North and South—and the fact that they still are until now even after an almost century. The period of the drama was when Korea was decades away from its eventual partition, when this one nation is still considered as one country.
Nonetheless, total hands down for the showcase of bravery of Korean independence fighters. I have watched a bundle of films and shows with this kind of narrative, and I can’t help but admire this real display of heroism in different periods in time. I always think that Korean had a strong culture of dissent and it is an interesting topic to delve about. Somehow, it reminds me of my own country’s independence fighters against foreign occupation on the same period as this drama was in.
To end, this show is indeed a must-watch for people who are interested to know more of Korea’s history of fight for independence.
