Holly Daytona
Good storyline, confusing execution.
Alice is a drama which explores time travel in a new, but potentially confusing way.
At the offset of the drama, it seems quite promising and there are many elements which are intriguing and entice you to keep on watching. The beginning of the drama introduces you early on to the struggles of the main character, and the struggles and experiences he has had in his life to lead him to career of a detective.
Joo Won does an effective job at expressing his characters and emotions (or potentially lack of), and embracing the background of the character to effectively show his yearning to find his mothers killer. Although the characters have been built up well, it soon becomes apparent that the concept is potentially one that is very difficult to execute in the form of a drama.
Similar to most time travel dramas, there are many unexplained elements and storylines which can quickly begin to confuse the watcher. Thus, the drama becomes difficult to watch, are there are simply too many intricacies in the drama, which all seem to intertwine together without much explanation on the what, how or who. Essentially, the further the drama continued, the deeper they seemed to get into a hole, without so much as a spade to dig themselves out.
Despite the amount of inaccuracies and confusion, there is still an element of intrigue which compels you to continue watching and get the closure that is so very much needed in this drama. Unfortunately, even when the drama is finished you are left with many questions, and can still be very confused.
Controversially, there are some moments between Kim Hee Sun's character and Park Jin Gyum which bring in some romantic chemistry. As the relationship between the two are of mother and son, at times it was slightly uncomfortable to watch - despite the fact that this doesn't seem to be the intention.
This drama does have some elements which make it a very intriguing watch, and you can easily finish the drama very quickly due to the areas of tension and the effective acting, however you find yourself disappointed when you have finished it.
