Hello guys, hope you are doing well and staying safe wherever you are. It is day 8 of the challenge and it is going to be a review of anything of my choice. Well, if you have followed me for a while you would know I like movies...for most part I enjoy watching kdramas, so am going to be giving a kdrama series review.
About Time is a 2018 fantasy romance Korean drama series directed by Kim Hyung-sik. With a number of 16 episodes it starred actors like Lee Sang-yoon, Lee Sung-kyung, Im Dong-jun, amongst others.
The series is about Choi Michaela an aspiring musical actress who has the ability to see how much time a person has left to live and her love interest Lee Do-ha, who has the ability to make her life "time" stop.
A series that takes you through the life of a young woman who sees how much time people have left to live and also having to deal with knowing hers also. With this knowledge, she tries to achieve everything she wasn't able to do before she runs out of time...one of which was her dream of being casted in a role for a musical.
On the other hand is Lee Do-han who is a serious minded business man who happened to get entangled with Choi Mika, after she claimed that her life depends on him...(she already found out that being close to him stops her life clock from ticking). I could totally understand her wanting to cling to the person that makes her clock stop ticking...which means more time for her.
The movie is a very entertaining one filled with romance from both leads and lovely melodies from Lee Sung-kyung as Choi Mika during her audition and rehearsal for the role. The drama tried to pass a message about life, goals and dreams...achieving your dreams when there is time and living life to the fullest. A question of of...If you know how long you have left to live, what would you do?...was a major point in the movie.
There is a movie similar to this titled "In Time" which also has people knowing the amount of time they have, in this case time was a means of exchange..buying and selling. About Time has a simple and sweet story with a little mystery to it, wonderful performances by the actors although I felt it took sometime for Lee Sang-yoon as Lee Do-han to get into character, a bit of a drag in the first few episodes...unlike when he starred in "Angel's Eyes ". However, it was not so bad...as they all put in their bits to make it a nice watch.
An interesting watch if you ask me...well am a kdrama lover, so i could be biased lol...but then there is no perfect movie well except "Tell Me What You Saw" my current favorite...close to being perfect lol...who cares, I love it anyways.
