The story began with a few lost souls trying to find their way through the devasted and lonely lives they were living. But they are trying to get out of it. They are trying for a second chance.
It's a slow burn drama and by slow burn I mean it's a very very slow drama but there is beauty in it if you're willing to stick it out and remain patient then you will encounter with one of the most content and beautiful drama you have seen.
The drama (especially all the monologues) requires patience from the viewers to pause and absorb the emotions it delivers to them.
Your perception plays a big role here. Although it is a dark theme drama such as couple falling out of love, abusive relationship, suicide, domestic violence, loneliness, depression, death etc but it's also about people falling in love, knowing your self-worth, self respect, letting go of your dark past, healing your wound, stepping back when you are at the edge of being suicidal and it's absolutely fine to take time to mourn the death of your loved ones.
Ryu Joon Yeol : RJY is ethereal. His long hair look is a killer. His voice!!! I can sleep peacefully listening to his monologues because its so painful but at the same time its just so beautiful and soothing. All his monologues stabbed to the core of my heart.
I fell so hard for Kang Jae. He is an old soul and mature enough for 27 yo man. His vulnerability and humanity will hit you so hard that it will haunt you.
Jeon Do Yeon: She is outstanding! She brought a life to her character Bo Jeong. She is heartbroken, lifeless, scarred and suicidal. She doesn't talk much but her gaze can talk more. I love her gazes.
Byeong Eun Park: I am just amazed by his expression less face. His dropping shoulders talks on his behalf. His struggle between his personal and professional life looks real. All relationships are complex with him in which he is neither a villian nor a victim.
Chemistry:I love whatever exists between Bo Jeong and Kang Jae. It's hard to pinpoint, because it could be siblings, it could be lovers, it could be friends - but it might actually be more like soulmates.
The romance and intimacy between these two has surpassed many characters I have seen. It's a love that doesn't judge but inspire eachother and it's gorgeous.
Soundtrack: All OSTs are unique and has it's own vibes but I am obsessed with the song " My Story" by Ha Dong Kyun.
Lyrics can make you cry, its haunting and beautiful, its a perfect backdrop of storylines of all the characters.
Screenplay and direction: The continuity is the beauty of this drama. The camerawork is aesthetic! The director has given attention to every details in every shot.
The screenwriting is phenomenal. Every character's approach to interact with another character is noteworthy.
I think the direction and screenplay are the strength of this drama.
Lost shattered me like "My Mister" did but it had also put me together again through an emotional bond between two completely unlike characters just like My Mister. So, if you have liked My Mister and give this drama a chance too.
It was a joy and privilege to watch "Lost". I am glad I watched this beautiful drama. I hope everyone watch and like it too.
