First off, the singing and acting in this are amazing. All of the actors delivered. Im Sunhae sang like an angel and I was floored by her singing in that party. She looks so lovely and nice. Kyuhyun was also fantastic. His singing and acting are full of emotion, he made me immersed in the story and I felt really sympathetic to Eric. His acting in the end is especially wonderful, I couldn't stop crying. Even though his face was covered by a mask, the changes in emotions reflected in his eyes, lips, and voice were impeccable. And when he sings with that beautiful and powerful voice of his, I couldn't help but be in awe and pulled further into the story. Also, Madam Carlotta was so enjoyable as a villain! I couldn't hate her. Not to mention the ballet performance! Oh, it was really beautiful and it conveys the story flawlessly I just cried hard watching it unfolds.
Secondly, the story is just really great. This story mainly reveals about the humane side of the Phantom, and the tragic story of his is told smoothly and beautifully with the dramatic grand numbers. It also touches about the purest form of love, mother's love, and it's something that a lot of people can appreciate. I love that they sprinkle some jokes in there too so it's not just heavy all the time.
Third, the set and the musical numbers are impeccably beautiful. It was a set that was made for a stage but the quality of it was really nice. The chandelier was especially gorgeous. Besides that, the directing of the camera angles and zooms really made the set has depth and realism, it just pulls you into the world. A marvelous job from the director. For the musical numbers, as I said before, they flawlessly and efficiently conveys the story while sounding like masterpieces. Maybe because the actors and actresses are so good at performing them too, but the numbers are really a treat to the ears. They are dramatic, grand, and gorgeous. Lovely.
In brief, I really enjoyed it. This tragic story of the Phantom, wrapped neatly in the magnificent performance of the actors and actresses, smooth directing, lovely setting, and beautiful musical numbers, is excellent.
