"Y'all're not expressionless until you lot die"; an ode to expiry and demise.
"The fearfulness of death follows from the fear of life. Someone who lives fully is prepared to die at whatever time." The quote from Marker Twin might be as well philosophical for some merely it is every bit meaningful. This also reminds me a quote from Harry Potter that says that death is like an adventure for the well-organised mind. On that context, expiry only ends a life, not the relationships, then knowing that you're gonna die soon is more hurtful when you lot recollect about the ones who'll be left backside.
Every unmarried twenty-four hour period of life is moving forward towards your death and the drama beautifully brings out the essence of one's life, no matter they're on the verge of death or accept a long to live. Expiry might be an enemy for the living but embracing it with grace when there'south a call for yous to bid goodbye, is considered an deed of wise, thereby making their lives meaningful.
Produced by KeyEast and broadcasted on JTBC, "The One and Only" is written past Moon Jung Min and directed past Oh Hyun Jong. The production had to halt filming thrice considering of staff members testing covid19 positive at different times, only they could wrap upwardly well despite the delay.
"The One and Only" is a story near a woman in her tardily twenties getting admitted to a hospice for receiving care after being diagnosed with a terminal illnesses, having simply few months to live. There, she shares the room with two other, with contrasting natures. Their lives become entangled with a contract serial killer who ends up falling for the first adult female and the story is all most the investigative murder example, the individual lives of the iii women and at their days at the hospice equally they await expiry.
Pyo In Sook (Ahn Eun Ji) who has been brought up past her grandma, works as a scrubber and is mostly dead. At a young age she turns terminally sick and chooses to stay at a hospice. There she meets Kang Se Yeon (Kang Se Won), an ordinary housewife who has never lived for herself and Sung Mi Do (JOY), a social media influencer, deprived of dear and a alone young girl. All three on an usual day encounter Min Woo Chan (Kim Kyung Nam), a hitman, following which these 4 people go intertwined with a mysterious series killing incident. All these people delivered amazing performances in their respective roles.
Yook Sung Ja (Get Doo Shim) and Pyo Kang Sun (Jang Hyun Sung) are experienced actors who played In Sook's Grandma and Father respectively. The Regional Investigation Unit comprises of squad leader Hwang Ma Jin (Lee Bo Ryun), lieutenant Cho Shi Immature (Practise Sang Woo) and Detective Oh Jin Gyu (Jang In Sub). Gu Ji Pyo (Han Gyu Won) played Mido's swain and LE grouping's hier.
Other familiar faces are So Hee Jung, Sung Byung Suk, Han Kyu Won, Ahn Chang Hwan, Choi Immature Woo, Lee So Mi, Yoon Bora, Lee Hang Na and Joo In Young. The 2 child extra Seo Yoon Woo and Kim Soo Hyung were expert too.
About plot development... I've mixed feelings near this and this is the only thing to complain almost this drama. The overall story reminded me about "You are my Spring" and "When the Camellia Blooms"; patently the vibes are different but the overall story felt similar: a feel good romance with plenty of piece of life elements accompanied with a murder mystery plot. Well, the difference is that this drama indulges a coherent investigative plot, unlike the other two where there were lots of other things; the unabridged script works effectually 1 unmarried murder leading to others. Personally, I loved the progression for about of the parts (1-11th); the introductory episodes were perfectly impressive, though it might accept some fourth dimension to get acquainted to the mood. The furtherance was nice.
The life at hospice of people pending death was a beautifully emotional journey. It too includes scenes of Insook halmieone and her povs as a family to someone who is fighting expiry, and I would give a plus point for that. About the investigation plot, it started off really actually skilful merely somewhere around tenth, they started dragging it which became plainly visible from the 11th episode. The murder mystery thingy didn't have any pothole but it could have been wrapped up very easily way earlier than the finale. And the rest of the drama could have been about the hospice and other cute elements that made the drama unique (merely proverb if the case was that they thought the script volition have zippo interesting left bcs everything other than that were amend, i loved them). Information technology was stretched till the finale calendar week to an extent and I tin't ignore it.
Despite all that, I concluded up loving the ending sequence. The drama wasn't supposed to exist realistic to existence with even though it's a slice of life genre for virtually of its parts, simply in that location were few things I didn't like or thought could've been meliorate not done. The ending was full of life, agony, misery and sadness; I found myself crying and choking multiple times. Even so the script ran out of substance, making the script draggy for a while, it was a matter of relief getting back to track in the finale week. The intended messages were perfectly delivered.
Oh Hyun Jong PD is quite experienced having some hugely acclaimed dramas im his resume and it was reflected in this drama too. The pacing of the drama, in my stance, was very apt; the drama is basically slice of life genre and warm pure romance and hence needed the pacing to be boring and steady. The screenplay management and execution is up to par. The cinematography with the pale hue and yellow pallettes were very beautiful.
Moon Jung Min PDnim is quite a rookie and has had ii qualitatively flop scripts earlier this drama but I see a dandy jump in her skills hither which made me satisfied. I can't say information technology's something great only judging from her previous dramas, she's improved more than than expected. The screenwriting is incorporated with many essence of life, death and struggle for survival, making it very meaningful. The mystery thriller plot which is every bit emphasized had a very good bones outline though the execution of it went a lil draggy, but I retrieve it was non that bad, in fact manageable. The graphic symbol dynamics are well painted with some potential of improvement for few like Min Woo Chan and Ko Ji Pyo, which I call back could have been better. The narrative and letters the story wanted to evangelize has been achieved, totally!
Equanimous by Lee Joon Suk, the OST album has full four number of tracks all aptly suiting the mood and vibes of the drama. There was no need of extensive background editing, neither with OSTs nor with dissimilar scores; it was a wise choice. "STAY" by SLAY & Avin is my most favorite among all which is about possibilities in life. "Happy Catastrophe" by Yangpa is a song with beautifully written lyrics about abeyance of pain and kickoff anew. "The One and Only" by msftz and "Your Name" past JOY (ReVe) are other 2 tracks.
The pacing felt perfect to me given the narrative and method of storytelling. The flux of conversations and shift in moods were aesthetically pretty. The way the characters were learning to dear what they were condign, was a pleasurable care for. It wasn't exaggerated at least.
In that location are numerous povs (almost 10?) to expect forward to. Although the story by and large revolves around the major characters as usual, the author has tried to subsume perspectives of seemingly minor characters at parts of the story, thereby helping the viewers to relate on a larger range and understand their feelings in a deeper sense.
The trio friendship of Insook, Seyeon and Mido is another thing to anticipate nearly in the drama. They came from different backgrounds and had difference in their mindsets, yet the way they blended with each other and consolidated their friendship on a robust base of operations, was an overwhelming watch.
The long conversations were my most favourite affair about this drama and let me tell you, you'd come across that quite a lot in here. The uncomplicated all the same very important topics discussed were heartening enough to jerk tears. The style the characters limited their emotions was wholesomely gratifying.
The bucketful romance is surely satisfying if not something very new and has some cliché tropes. I am sure warm pure romance is not everyone's cup of tea but I wish people become fond of it. In Sook and Woo Chan as couples were both adorable and fierce; their chemistry was up to par though not very extensively portrayed, and I think information technology was intentional and also feel it was of advisable amount.
Last Remarks... "The One and Only" is a drama of unique mood. It'due south hugely a story for those who are admirer of quiddity lf life, boring pacing, long conversations and warm romance. I admittedly loved it simply given that I can't ignore the technical aspects I would have to reflect the shortcomings in my ratings too. I would definitely recommend you to requite it a try.
