Finally!!!!
Once I submitted the assignments of a certain subject i quickly tuned to Netflix to start the drama.
As always, I always get my playlist songs from movie and drama soundtracks, and I also got all new songs some new songs from this drama. But I notice that most of the songs from CLOY has this sad and yearning tone?
As always, when watching kdrama, which I wouldn't say I'm an avid kdrama fan, I always get lost or forgot of the main couple's first spark. Like, I missed the exact moment the main couple starts to fall in love, or have the first fluttering moment. I blinked and suddenly the main couples of the dramas all suddenly has committed to each other??
I think maybe because the dramas are always 16 episodes, and they always focus on moments, that I always lose my focus in between? Or, as they intended, the budding of the feeling is as subtle as the couples' act of love towards each other? I think the latter questions sounds more convincing hahah
I know I am so late to the CLOY party, everyone has left already. Sorry la I was occupied with my studies ok!!!
So I've cried a few times, I noticed episode 10 has a few touching moments. I cried when Se-ri reunited with her assistant, her assistant seems genuinely caring of her. I also cried a few times at scenes related to the soldier squad, they are very wholesome characters.
And I tak puas hati Gu Seung Jun has to die????????????? I love love loveeeee his character! I like how a kind lover, and person he is!! He still care about and help Se-ri, despite Se-ri has broken off their engagement in the past. Though of course swindling money is not an act I condone, I like that he is still humane in other aspects. Aaah just writing this makes me wanna cry isyyy
My charming Gu Seung Jun does not deserve to die!!!!!😩😩😩😩
Also, amazed me that none of the squad members want to stay in the South ahshshjs. I mean, the comfort, and the fact that they are offered the opportunity, Especially the Master Sergeant Pyo Chi Su! I mean, he is an orphan, he does not have family to think of or to go back to. It must be the patriotism, isn't it? Throughout the time the squad in the South Korea, Pyo Chi Su has been making theories of the South Korea's effort in fooling them 😂
Also, I agreed with the reception of CLOY I read on Wikipedia before, that the CLOY production team has made a good representation of everyday in North Korea. Though of course I never went to North Korea myself, I must say that they did a fine job in showing how living in North Korea is not that far off from living in anywhere else in the world, that there are still laughter, family, friendship, sense of community. They make NK believable as home (and it is home) to people of NK, and not some place where people are constantly in fear or in insecurity.
I also like how Se-ri is kinder as a leader to her staff once she got back from North Korea. That she starts to let everyone home early, has lunch with her staff, that she finally let her guards down and being lenient to other poeple.
And I personally like how Gu Seung Jun describes why he likes Seo Dan, specifically his word "disciplined sternness". I always think it is something to not only notice and describe a person's traits, but also to appreciate the traits themselves.
Also I notice the drama characters are all into art??? Like, Ri Jeong Hyeok himself is a trained pianist. Meanwhile Se-ri plays a little bit piano, has a good eye for details, which I personally think is an artistic attitude, being a fashion and design people herself, and also that she has an original artwork she got from an auction in her home (in the scene where her mother and her sisters-in-law get into her home during her disappearance). And in the last episode, Seo Dan is shown to leave her house with a big musical instrument on her back (I'm guessing it's a cello?) and saying to her mother she is going for a practice.
About an hour after finishing the drama, and I am not feeling empty inside like I did after Goblin and DOTS. Perhaps this time the feeling will come a little bit later? But anyway I think that that is because I don't feel like I was in a violent emotion swing when watching the drama. Like, for Goblin, I felt that way because I had serious laughs at one scene and then weep at the next. Meanwhile at DOTS I was always haunted with the thought that in reality the couple married but then divorced 😅 But in CLOY, I felt more... accepting of the characters' destiny and circumstances? Not freally sure why...
Anyway, it's good to have watched the drama. I am thinking of what's next
