Simple but important messages

Every once in a while I'm blessed and come across a drama that meets several criteria I'm looking for at any given time: genre (romance, fantasy) tag (Deity), cast (Lee Soo Hyuk), synopsis a bit vague to be intrigued enough but not totally confused. As a result, it's a winning bet despite some flaws.

The role of Sa Rang (Love) is to help Woven understand human emotions. The first few episodes have shown that her presence, her lightness, her empathy towards each client helped Woven and Joey to see humans in a different light, that sometimes they just have to listen and watch carefully instead of judging. So in my point of vue, it was really no need to include the romantic dimension which was also rushed to the last episode.

In terms of acting, I think Lee Soo Hyuk is well suited to bring to life a cold and unfeeling character and when he's willing to smirk he really does radiate charm. The sex appeal of this man is just incredible. Lee Su Ji is an actress I've never seen before, but I think that picking her wasn't totally bad, she was radiant even if she didn't convince me on the part where she was bursting into tears, her face was a bit rigid. Park Seung Ji, he exuded lack of experience, the gestures were sometimes too overplayed. But I think he has a real presence that makes you want to forgive his average acting.

The cinematography is gorgeous, the colours of the tailor shop evoking twilight really convey this passage to renewal, a new begining that the shop wants to inspire in its clients, to heal their emotional wounds, to console them with quality clothes they will wear like an armour, to give them back their self-confidence, to remind them of their former dreams, to help them move forward with new foundations.
