So i finally finished MPUB
This is again one of the rare dramas that was near perfect. Some reviews said this is similar to deluna, which i agree to some extent given the characters and basic premise
However the key differentiating factor that struck gold acc. to me was the inclusion of modern prevalent issues in such a positive and uplifting way that it doesn't look exploitative. The tackled so many issues in this 12 ep drama ranging from
Sexual Harassment
Dementia
Conception issues and how it affects relationship
miscommunication that can be disatrous
Guilt and Greed ruining life
to name a few
and most importantly how sometimes just having someone to listen to your problems can save a life.
We all are always so busy with our own lives that we dont see out there might be someone who we can bring joy if we just spend few mins of our time to LISTEN
Coming to the characters everyone did such great job. FL and two MLs
even the guest star who would frequent the bar with their issues were awesome
I particularly loved the cancer lady, the old couple and missing son mother
even the fantasy element was great
The writer tried to trick the audience multiple times with who among the MLs was the CP but it was evident quite early if you pay attention.
Now no drama is near perfect same goes for this one. The issue might be small but which prevents me from giving the show a perfect score is
the leads. In this story two set of actors play the leads FL and one ML has younger version and the current version. My only issue that I couldn't wrap my head around was what was the need for two sets when all the other characters are played by the same set of actors
even the villian is same in both past present.
The leads had to die in past but why did they age while others didn't. there never was a plausible explanation
Anyways except from that, this show is perfect in every other sense
so my rating 9.5/10
