Rollercoaster of feelings?
13 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The series had the potential to be really successful with the simple storyline, maybe it failed precisely because of this, because it is far too banal.

Really sweet and funny moments were brought in. It was nice to be able to follow their relationship and overcome the pain after their long return. The way the two found their way in the new century was also very amusing to watch, most of all how the little girl tried to explain the trends to her uncle. I also found it nice to see a different kind of love. The family love from both sides was very touching and leads to reflection.

The elements were not bad, I mean that despite fantasy it was made realistic. There was nothing superfluous, but kept very simple. The way it was shot gave an atmosphere of a black and white film, probably due to the clearly recognizable black bars at the top and bottom as well as the existing gray veil (little contrast), which reproduced everything much more evenly.

However, the story had dragged on and seemed lengthy. The reason for this is simple: there was no roller coaster that knocked you off your socks and shocked you from your chair. Not a single scene kept the tension or was exciting. Everything was going on constantly, step by step, from time to time, so the series seemed a bit monotonous and was reinforced by the viel.

Politics were hardly entered into, sometimes made to appear to have forgotten them. I hadn't been able to fully understand the relationship between the friends regarding the main actress, whether they had bad or good dealings with each other.

The end was very disappointing as the last episode sped up after her second awakening. The quiet follow-up of their relationship and their change was suddenly driven only to finally be able to complete the last episode of the series.
