Emotional Lava

my only complain about Kdramas always has been the coldness ..every character comes as uptight and cold.. but WTF here the melting is real.. the process of turning ice to emotional lava through the 8 episodes were amazing and glorious. and all this came in a video game format is the strangest ever ..
because the unique narration of this drama and following the lead (game) instructions to the big reveal they didn't lose me for a minute ..I was there with him and I loved it
I must confess that "the eighth sense" is my least fav. drama and I don't understand the hype. the treatment of sadness and loneliness is better addressed here.. maybe that emptiness and robotic feeling can also be consoled by love and finding true friends. while I cried my heart out in "a shoulder to cry on" (no. 1 for me ever and ever) I didn't cry here cause I think the makers wanted that. They wanted to illustrate how hope is not cruel at all, and nothing is hopeless you can start again every time.
the acting superb the music was good but the handling of the story was something else.

Not a convincing storyline

It's in the eyes ..a lovers look is different form a brother..
Strangely everything else is beautifully done ..I truly like this type of narration -since the days of "we best love S01" ,, the acting was good (the cute Taiwanese style of acting if I may say so),the music too, but I couldn't buy the feeling (sorry).
He is the big brother even in the throes of passion he was "brotherly" .. I don't know if its their way to commit to "slice of life" type of story but the confusion was there and I didn't like it ..
Also the separation period was to emphasize the younger brother genuine feeling but still I felt as if he was just stuck refusing to live his life, and confusing the thin line between gratitude and love.
Moreover, the story is incomplete as both of them carrying a huge emotional baggage , they didn't talk enough with each other about it.
