Must Watch !
Since I don’t have enough time to write a long review yet because of time constraints. I’m going to put in some of my main thoughts on Lovely Writer The Series.
I really did like Lovely Writer for what it stood for even if it lacked some things. The two major things that bothered me were:
Some of the Scenes were just so unnecessarily long. They did not need to show us them staring at each other for 10 minutes where they 2 or 3 sentences. We get it. Halfway through the show I started fast forwarding these long crying scenes or staring scenes making the ep take 40 minutes instead of 1h 20m.
“Wolf in sheep’s clothes” was it? By this metaphor I felt like we were going to get… more I guess. With all this mystery and dark aura around Nubsib, I expected more than him hiding the fact that they knew each other. But hey, at least nothing ground breaking.
- Aoey just annoyed the shit out of me. Kudos to the actor really. For me I always find the praise for antagonist actors a bit too much. Because it’s very easy for me to dislike someone and it’s also very easy to be mean. So acting out a bad character isn’t ground breaking for me. But Bruce did so well with Aoey that I really just hated the character to my bones. I think the way it ended with Aoey is pretty good because well, realism thank you. It’s not because you have a bad family background that you can ruin other people’s lives.
- Tiffy did bother me with how much she did not want to be stereotyped but was okay assuming things about Tum and stereotyping him. They never really explained what was happening there but I’ll let it slide.
I am letting any plot holes slide just because what Lovely Writer stood for is kind of revolutionary and maybe even paved the way for others. If you think about it, Lovely Writer took a risk with what they showed, they showed us the reality as much as they could.
I truly think Lovely Writer is a must watch, not for the love and romance plot but for everything else. From toxicity, social media, abuse of power, money, family, personalities, lies, gender norms, sexuality, hopes and dreams, hard work, identity, dangers of shipping and personal life.
