I am new to the k-drama type shows and I am really enjoying them. The production of this show is very well thought and researched. Setting is great, use of antique cars and all! Really cool! Some people might not realize that they had to teach the actors how to drive these cars because antique cars are not as straight forward as just knowing how to drive standard shift gear. So that was nice to see too. So there was attention to detail.
The cast is lovely, great actors all. The story was innovative and fresh, added romance classic K style approach too, with some meet cute encounters and all, and with a few fun comedy relief moments here and there. And the historical point of view post war, was also interesting.
I talk about the ending here, but I do not specify anything (but it can be considered a spoiler): The series was released in two parts. 7 episodes, that were really awesome, and then the 3 last episodes. I think when they lost sight of what they were doing was at the very last bit. They wanted to look too edgy or open up the option to have a second season, which by itself is rare with these type of shows, as they usually limit themselves as type of miniseries. Which has been one of the appeals for me. In any case, in the very last few minutes, after an emotional roller coaster, they tried a different style and then a different path and then another. So the ending was not an ending and it was confusing and kind of weird. And definitely not satisfying at all.
I didn't understand the need for it and it would have been better if the would have simply closed the current arc and call it a day.
Overall I enjoyed the series but the ending was a big let down. I'll let you judge by yourself.
