Attention to Detail
13 February 2021
This was originally shown as 32 episodes but has been rpackaged a 16 double lngth episodes on Netflix. The bad bits : the plot is sometimes too obvious and it wraps up without much tension. The acting is iffy and the leads have little chemistry. To my mind Yeon-Seo Oh also seems a little old for the part, though she plays it well. There are some obvious plot holes and the last twwo episodes are just daft. But the direction and cinematography are very good and the attention to detail is spot on. The costumes re the best I have ever seen and the small everyday details are really well done,

I enjoyed it but I don't think it will stay in the mind long. This is a remake and I haven't seen the original so can't compare. Not a waste of time by any means but not aclassic either.
