Although, I did enjoy the kdrama overall, I found something was missing. I am not sure why it was missing from this drama, or why they choose to do this, but, I found it disapointing. The story and the plot line were good, and I think a number of fans would love this story and enjoy watching this, but for me, there is some missing elements from this kdrama.
The story was pretty good although, the ending kinda was not as good or as epic as I wanted it to be. I felt like the story died around episode 9 or 10, and was really dragging by the end. Thank goodness, they did not make this 16 episodes, I would have really felt the drag. The girl did seem to care about Holo quite a bit more than our ML, so, I understand why he thought she would be happier with Holo than with him. There was a really cool part where Holo and him were fighting against the bad guys, but, that was short lived when I wanted more episodes on that and what a great team they would make together. I did like the sweet ending with the wedding, but, I found I never thought Holo was ever truly dead to it made it hard for me understand what the characters were feeling at the end when Holo was deleted. I always knew he was coming back. But, they couldn't have done anything else, so, I don't blame them too much for this. I will say this, this drama needs to be watched all at one time, binge all the way, this is not a drama to be watched week by week.
The acting was awesome! I loved all the actors. I know I have seen a lot of them in other things and Chansung was awesome here, I bet this was an introduction for some to 2PM and if so, this was a great introduction. It was obvious, they were going to redeem him when they introduced he was behind the car crash/chase early on.
Frankly, I do not remember any of the music for this drama, infact, I do not remember any points where the music took to make the scene any different if they had no sound in the background. And I found this really sad, although, they may have had some songs, I will not be looking any of them up, because I do not remember them in the drama. This made the drama feel so souless to me. In fact, the music is always something I look forward to in kdramas as standing out and being memorable, or breaking your heart, or giving you nostaglia for the time you were watching that kdrama.
Rewatch value for me is very little. I found that I might want to watch certain parts over, but, the kdrama as a whole is lacking that extra something to make this kdrama a classic one for the ages. I feel like in a decade people will forget this kdrama happened. It really feels like a webdrama in terms of feeling and soul. I don't know something was missing. This kdrama felt less epic and more like a webdrama in certain aspects I cannot comprehend. I figured out after watching this drama that there was hardly any romance between ML and the FL. The story was more about Holo developing as a hologram AI and how Magic Mirror wants to steal Holo from the ML then, the romance between the two leads which was quite sad. The romance is drama was sidelined for other plotlines that were less interesting.
In conclusion, the story idea was great, and I really liked the acting and production value, but the OSTS were lacking and I found the whole piece souless.
