This is a masterpiece of human connection that depicts humanity, sorrow, and love that is deeper than touch, in such a delightful manner. The intimacy between the MLs gave me goosebumps, for just eye contact between the leads is enough for us to believe in love. It has some of the most sensual romantic scenes I've ever seen in a kdrama, and those scenes occur without nudity; just a single hug, caress, or stare is enough.
The director did a phenomenal job with the storytelling, as it includes so many layers, that a single watch is not enough to unravel everything the story holds. It is one of those romances that has you to thinking, not just about love, but your own persona and life as well.
The plot line with the FL's father was emotional and touching. Although I have to say, the emotional stance of the characters in their past that lead them to their present situations could've been portrayed better and in more depth.
I would've also liked to see some more of the Male Lead's life and situation. Though heavily portrayed at the start, towards the end, the Male Lead's life and position in life was brushed away and given less priority, as the makers seemed to want to focus on the Female Lead more by making the Male Lead a catalyst for the Female Lead's love life.
Needless to say, the cinematography is akin to that of a full fledged Netflix drama, along with the subtle mix of comedy and shiver inducing soundtrack. Hence, JTBC is commendable for this project.
The main thing that makes this drama so great is the vibes and aura it and its characters have.
The main characters are perfectly imperfect, and the dynamic between them is varying and stark, but similar at the same time. It is a story that makes you crave to see more, feel more, understand more, just like most forbidden romances would. But this isn't just a forbidden romance, it is a story about life, and a love that is the saviour of their lives.
This isn't just a romance drama, it is a drama about humanity, and a thought provoking tale about human minds, and emotions. It is relatable even to ones with no similarities with the story at all. I've watched it 2 years ago, but still think of it time to time.
The makers did a fantastic job blending in side character storyline's with the main story, making it a delicious slow burn.
I personally, dislike slow burns. But this, was a slow burn masterpiece:
LOST is an unconventional storyline about a woman in her forties with bleak prospects, and a 27year old man who meet under chance circumstances. The drama depicts human emotion, sorrow, and love in such a poetic light, that it's almost hard to not relate to the characters. No nudity, just pure intimacy is portrayed by the actors that it almost makes you think of the characters as real people around you. The lead actors did a phenomenal job along with the people behind the camera. The chemistry will give you goosebumps.
On a different day I would rate it 9/10, but only because this drama might not be for everyone, as it is emotionally difficult to get through. But I savoured it fully, hence, I have it a full rating.
It is the only drama that made me question my own life. I'd watch it 10 times over if I could.
Hats off.
