Mika Santillan

Fruits Basket

[SPOILER ALERT] It was a very meaningful k-drama. It made me appreciate the sacrifices made by our own heroes here in the Philippines as the events that were featured were also similar to that of our country's fight for democracy. The whole cast was on another level. Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si really gave justice to their characters. It could've been perfect, but I just felt this show has more to deliver if it were given more episodes like the usual ones, around 16? Myeong-hee's ending seemed hurried. Actually, from the beginning, I find the love interest development seemed hurried as well. Welp, the show deserves more time but the cast really did well! It was almost perfect in terms of storyline, and perfect in terms of acting, casting, and setting. Loved it! Kudos!

[SPOILER ALERT] It was good to watch, made me reflect about my own family life. I just think that the show was dragging around ep 15. The yearning between Da-jung and Dae-young was already clear and delivered in the past eps, the following scenes about them went over the top and unrealistic (tho aging backward is already unrealistic). There were also too many flashbacks that were unnecessary. It could've been better and more effective if the show was cut to 12 eps, I think. Gave 4 stars because Lee Do-hyun and his acting were really superb, it saved the show, honestly. Hope to see him in more well-written dramas/movies :)
