Featured review
Absolutely the Best Drama I have seen in the longest While. The Acting is "Chefs Kiss"
It's the second Kdrama I have ever given 10 stars! Many have written synopsis on the story so I will refrain. Except to say this is absolutely no GWTW copy.
Have no idea why I started watching this and confess at the second Ep ready to abandon it, but suddenly it picked up in Ep3 and really took off. Through the horror of war and hunger I settled in for the ride and became mega hooked. Appreciation sank in as I watched masterful acting and took a personal interest in the outcome of almost all these characters lives.
The lead actors are both utterly astonishing! Both the ML and FL are a dream together. They take my breath away with the skill and genuineness with which they interpret the scriptwriter's intent with this plot of love loss in a difficult time in Korea's history. The Director deserves applause and a bouquet for his direction.
The cinematographer comes in bang on target with appropriate wide sweeping shots, magnificent colour and moving scenes. (the kiss in the field was excellently shot), With yet another massive bouquet for the Casting Director. Nearly forgot (slap wrists), the Costume Designer! The Qing Dynasty outfits are astonishingly beautiful and don't look like some fake Halloween get up, but genuine clothing. You can see the research that went into creating them. Altogether the production is a rare joy. I cried, laughed, was anxious and lived alongside the joy, war, tears and escapades of this historical Kdrama series.
Whilst waiting for the Second Series to be aired I rewatched the first 3 episodes to comprehend the intent of the scriptwriter as the foundations It helped get me ready for the airing of the 2nd series.
The ML initial inability to seriously commit to a relationship and the growth of the FL which I found compelling; once her teenage immaturity, silly flirting and feisty outspokeness passes, she comes into her adulthood with a compelling inner strength during the war, and later when she initiates and run a business, whilst becoming responsible for proving for her family and servants. The ML makes it clear it is her "brazenness" that he admires.
Currently at Ep 16, with four more to be aired but absolutely no hesitation in declaring My Dearest/Lover is easily my favourite Kdrama. I highly recommend it for viewing.
Update: Ep 21. The perfect ending.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
