Halopalo Review of Daydreamer

Daydreamer (2018–2019)

Amazing show at first, later on becomes horrible and looses it's magic

[6/10 · 19 December 2018]

Part. 1 I wasn't familiar with Turkish dramas and comedies, but I stumbled on this series and was hooked from the start. It's heartwarming and joyful, but it is also very emotional, heartbreaking and full of dramatic moments between the main couple. It's one of the best romantic comedies I have seen. The chemistry between the main couple is outstanding. It's full of funny and wonderful characters with their own individual personalities. I like the oddities of the little neighborhood/street corner and its residents and the hectic, creative surroundings of the advertising world. This show knows how to create a moving love story full of tension. It delivers many amazing romantic moments and takes advantage of the actors' charisma & chemistry. The scenery is striking and the music amazing. It's a very enjoyable, feel good, show. - EDIT. Part 2. review includes MILD SPOILERS. - - - - - Part 2. I had to edit my original review. It suffers a lot in later episodes, as story lines become repetitive and some of the romantic scenes seem actually forced. I started to feel they were written as fan service and not as thoughtful and meaningful parts of the story like before. Also the characters seem to make the same mistakes repeatedly, which starts to frustrate. It diminishes the progress that supposedly happened between them in previous episodes. I felt the male lead was reduced to just worship the female lead blindly. And it honestly was a disappointment, because the male lead was such a charismatic, driving force of a nature & deep, thoughtful character. It's like they suddenly decided to prop up the female lead over everyone else, whereas before it was more balanced. The magic of the story suffered a lot from it and the female lead started to seem annoying, jealous & snappish caricature of herself, while the male lead just keeps worshiping her no matter what. The show even had a break and they had enough time to rethink and fix things, but it turned out even worse. It's basically a different show now, and the characters are just annoying. Especially the female lead. They somehow managed to destroy the whole series and the magical and joyful fairy tail feeling it had.
