I finished Doona! Over the weekend and I don’t know how I feel about it.
Suzy is definitely a better actress now as I felt all her despair, desperation and anger. I don’t know the ML, but he had great chemistry with her and he sort of fades into the background, I really hope that’s his character design. The typical misunderstood and understanding character dynamics, with burning passion.
However,I was just left unsatisfied. Not because of the open ending, but because of the disjointed and jerky storyline. I felt pieces of the story were missing or that plots were glossed over. I know people are quirky, but I felt some of their actions didn’t make sense. Dona’s reaction or actions towards Won Jun didn’t make sense and vice versa but I guess it’s for plot progression.
Nevertheless, I loved the fact that the characters including side characters didn’t shy away from difficult and challenging discussions. They spoke up and had conversations to some extent and reached conclusions that was reasonable to them.
Episodes 8-9 were incredibly disjointed! I sort of figured that was coming–folks over on the Hangout have suggested that the drama was shortened dramatically in editing. Perhaps.
I liked it best–as is usual for me with relationship dramas–in the period before the main couple becomes a couple. That is, in the time we get to know them as individuals.
I still have a gut feeling that Netflix trimmed back the shows length. Ending on 9 episodes is just weird, especially with the rather surreal and choppy editing we see in E9. I am still googling to see if there is any news to confirm this, but so far I cannot find anything.
I kept going back, wondering if I missed something. I was skeptical at ep9, wondering how they will conclude things. Maybe there will be a flashback episode explaining things, but no. Ending credits came and there was no new episode.
Me too! The period before the main couple becomes a couple is my favorite. It’s probably the reason why I drop most dramas once the couples get together. The story has ended.
