Best Mistake (2019)

Un kdrama corto, sencillo y bastante agradable de ver.

Me gustó más de lo que esperaba (tenía bajas expectativas).

Aunque es corto no se sintió así, ó sea, me ha pasado con otros mini dramas que termino opinando que son demasiado cortos para mi gusto y que por lo tanto la historia no se desarrolló lo suficientemente bien, pero este duró lo que era debido, es decir, No se sintió incompleto o que le faltaran más capítulos.

Ya lo dije, este drama es efectivamente demasiado corto pero no se sintió así, se sintió suficiente.

Me siento bastante satisfecha, estuvo bien y me gustó, creo que está bueno para volverlo a ver y la música está chévere.

Best Mistake is a 15 episode long webdrama that if I was to sum up in one word, it'd have to be Average, which isn't immediately bad or wrong. Like most average stuff, it's enjoyable to say the least, but I think that for the potential it has, the webdrama choose rather to let itself me mediocre and plain. It's biggest fault is that, in a platform full of content alike this, Best Mistake passes off as something...forgettable.

Starting with its strongest point: it's characters; their often mismatched personalities where the most enjoyable thing to watch. Besides the usual quiet but oh-so-quirky female lead and the bad-guy-is-actually-good male protagonist, there's more complex people that the drama could've explored further. Like the boy with dreams of being a tattoo artists that was the class's president, or the pretty, popular girl with fears of being abandoned; the fun and outspoken best friend of the female lead and even that one cute boy with a bad past with the police that we saw so briefly. There was so much hidden... diversity that I feel that the writers preferred to play it safe with a typical cliché love triangle and two leads that we find almost everywhere in dramas.

The plot, much like its characters, was surprisingly both bleak and unexpected, laced with the usual teen, high school romance based moments but with still some charm and personality to it here and there. The cast felt odd at first; it was hard for me to picture them actually playing teenagers, in high school, when their looks and voices wouldn't match the part. But their performances were nice, and so was the pacing of events.

Other thing that I thought could've been done better is the use of their osts. If I wasn't told that they were sung by NCT U, I would never have guessed it nor believed it. If you have such a good marketing "object", you should promote it wisely and make the most out of it.
