People You May Know (2017)

This was an incredibly well-done mini series. It didn't have the feel of a typical kdrama; it was incredibly nuanced and I felt that the pacing was very appropriate.
While the story is not anything particularly special, certain scenes were written and shot in a way to be very heartfelt, and the overall tone of this drama felt slow and very real. It's not a happy drama, but I think that adds to the slice-of-life effect; it wasn't a happy ending per se, but I felt an odd catharsis watching this. Shim Hee Sub was amazing in this, and I'm glad he's getting more gigs after Rebel. Lee Won Geun is an adorable actor, but I felt that his performance was just okay in this (mostly due to how his character was written). Sooyoung still has a lot of room for improvement, but I applaud her for taking on a role that requires a lot of emotional investment such as this one. The music was very fitting, but didn't stand out. Overall, this drama might not be for everyone, but I don't regret watching it! Very beautiful.
