LeeBo-young has delivered a consistent work, but she wasn't aided by the writing of her character. Now, however, Soo-hyeon is a 3-D, relatable character. The episode ends of a very tense note, one of the best cliffhangers thus far. The past few have been quietly introspective while this one is a complete nailbiter.

Completed Willowtry3 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value In short >>Better written than most dramas I've seen, but not my cup of tea<< How long this took me I cannot say. A month ? It must be around that. The reason isn't the writing or the acting, but simply because it isn't my thing. I cared, at first ; but through the episodes, I cared less and less, all I wanted was to finish it. Story As I said, it is better written than most dramas I've experienced, which, considering the average level isn't too hard. Unlike most dramas, it doesn't lose itself in endless fanservice, it doesn't go in every directions to the point some episodes feel pointless. It knows where it goes, what is its points and try developing and going for it while avoiding digressions as much as possible. Despite that, some doors are opened and lead to nothing, typical mistake from dramas, but in comparison, it isn't as common and has to be therefore praised. It also has some stupid moments, especially the ending, which is incoherent with the first episode and seems to be a twist for the sake of a twist ; it is sad, but doesn't stop that, overall, it is a better piece of writing than the average drama. Characters I don't have much to say, you have the mentally handicaped character, because drama trope ! well, doesn't stop it to work on me XD You cannot speak of real chara development, especially the sidekicks, as for the main characters... Well, they are a bit more complex than your average drama characters but aren't groundbreaking. I do have some issues with some bad mentalities some chara vehiculate we are in 2015, please, evolve and the treatment of the husband, which, thanksfully isn't limited to the cheater stereotype, that I have to praise as well, it brings up the high issues of justice in terms of divorce and child care...by copying what is so wrong with it is quite annoying and frustrating ; once again, we are in 2015, learn justice and equality. Acting & Soundtrack They do their job properly. Really, I have nothing to say about it in particular. Filming Once again, better than the average drama By, for example, knowing how transitions work, how they are used and when. It sounds like some basic thing, but it is to point out most dramas do not seem to know said basic. Rewatch value As I didn't like it, I won't rewatch it. But if you're the type not getting how transitions work, you can always rewatch it and pay attention to how they are done. Overall It's a shame that what is better than average is something that I dislike on personal taste. I do hope, though, that it fits the tastes of others. If you are into fanservice, exaggerated melodrama or other stuff like that, it is better you skip it, you'll be utterly disappointed. Read More Was this review helpful to you? Lee Bo-young's previous SBS hit is undoubtedly a great series. In a medium mostly about surface treatments, a series that respects its plot and characters like "I Hear Your Voice" did is rare. When the actress was cast in "God's Gift - 14 Days" , a series about a mother's fight to save her daughter, many fans saw another brilliant series in the making. Sadly, this industry's risk aversion, adoration of the male element and flawed filming system turned what could have been a masterpiece in its medium into just another entertaining, but not top quality series. AdvertisementWhen a little girl named Saet-byeol Kim Yoo-bin-I is kidnapped and later found drowned in a lake, her mother, Kim Soo-hyeon Lee Bo-young decides to take her own life. As she jumps into the same lake, a man named Gi Dong-chan Cho Seung-woo is also being thrown in it by a group of thugs. When they come out, they realize they have traveled 14 days into the past. Remembering a mysterious woman who spoke to her about this happening, Soo-hyeon finds Dong-chan and together they try to stop the events that lead to Saet-byeol's death, as well as discover how they are both connected to the big picture that starts forming. The first thing to say about "God's Gift - 14 Days" is that it is not a bad series. It is not great, but it is definitely not something bad for drama standards. It has some great acting, the mystery is kept alive until the very end although the supernatural part is never addressed, its pace does not slow to the point it becomes boring and its production quality is quite nice and atmosphere appropriate for its genre. There are some interesting characters, different types of relationship dynamics explored and it is generally a very busy and entertaining show, if killing some time is what one wants to achieve. However, the series fails in some ways in its two most important elements. The mystery and how it presents it to the viewer and most importantly, by losing sight of its premise and original element of appeal. The thing about mysteries is that they need to be airtight. They need to present just enough to the viewer for them to stand a chance at making legitimate guesses. When a mystery is solved, the viewer should be able to piece it all together and when they go back, they should realize they already had everything they needed to figure it out. The series stumbles in the sense that the writer seemed to be creating some things as they went along, even changing things already established, just to serve their new plans. This is evident very early on, when a scene that was presented with a seemingly insignificant character played by an extra earlier in the series is changed to serve the developments. During later episodes, the creators re-film this scene and replace the actor there with one of the main actors and his character, to reveal the person we had seen in that process was in fact this character we have known. This is cheating viewers out of their chances, but also shows the creator has no idea what they are doing further down the road. It is very likely the series is filled with such issues, some obvious the first time around, some probably to be discovered for anyone who watches it again. But this drama's worst betrayal of its own premise and fans is how it handled its female lead and her story. What started as a series based on 'The Story of a Mother', featuring a strong woman out to save her child soon started to shift. By the end, slowly, painfully, it had been turned into a worship of the male lead, even going as far as to show him altering the original tale to make it about a Knight fighting to save the little girl. In perhaps an allegorical twist, this just showed the overall intentions of the production. The female character went from being the one that mattered and moved the plot to a plus one. She turned into the typical reckless and hysterical woman who had to be stopped, brought to her senses and constantly saved by the male lead whose own story took the wheel. She was not only used as a punching bag, getting kidnapped, beaten and generally abused by men just to become a damsel for the hero to save, but she was eventually pushed aside. What started as female lead centric proceeded as a work with two leads and eventually became male lead centric. The same thing happened with her daughter, whose fate ended up being just another piece of the big picture in the male lead's world. Her life turned into just another plot device. It is basically striking women down for daring to be the heroines in their own stories. And this shows another big problem of this industry and its live filming system. Give audiences what they demand, even if it means not staying true to your work and messing up its coherence. The ending of the series also has a lot of people angry, which is perfectly understandable. Rushed, unfinished and with conflicting characterization, the ending was simply a culmination of the downfall this series brought upon itself. As mentioned earlier, there are many parts of "God's Gift - 14 Days" that are entertaining and it is by far not the worst thing out there. But a series which fails at the two things it was supposed to do well and which started as something with all the elements it needed to become exceptional, but ended in a half-baked attempt at what it originally tried to do is a frustrating sight. Sadly, it is also not a surprising one in this medium.

If you don't want to watch this drama for the plot, watch it for this man. If there was an award called "The Biggest Heartthrob" Ki Dong Chan would win that category, hands down and no questions asked. This man is not only incredibly handsome, he is also smart, loyal, funny, selfless and on top of that kicks ass like a pro. I've probably never seen a more attractive character in any TV show. Okay that's enough time wasted on my preferences in male characters, now for the actual review. When I first clicked in to rate this show, I gave the drama a 9. But then I did what every normal person does after watching an insanely good show - went to spazz to my mom about it - and I realized that I used the word "masterpiece" to describe this drama so many times that I had to come back and change it to a full 10. It was that good. Plot vise this drama really is a masterpiece. I was sitting on the edge of my chair the whole time while watching and I bet you'll do the same. Just when you think you've caught on to the plot and know how the scenario is going to play out, something new and unexpected is thrown in your face. I was confused for the most part and you will be too, but don't worry, cause in the end, everything will click into place and you're gonna be left with your mouth gaping open, thinking that how on earth does such a complicated story come down to such a simple trigger. But I'll say no more, I don't want to spoil anything. One of the things that I really liked about this drama was that after I was finished, I was left with a sort of full feeling. This is one of the few dramas where there is an actual message in the plot; something that says something really important about the world. It's a theme that becomes evident already in the plot and is carried out throughout the entire drama a real mother will do anything to protect her child. I definitely liked how the theme was portrayed in the drama via various characters. Cast and acting was top class. I've always respected Lee Bo Young but I was still amazed how spot-on her interpretation of Kim Soo Hyun was. She was a very convincing devastated mother but somehow also managed to incorporate a tough woman image into the character. She also had great chemistry with her co-actor, Cho Seung Woo who plays Ki Dong Chan. Now, I already talked about him but if it didn't become clear yet, I'll spell it out for you. I'm in love with this man. He is not just an amazing actor but also a great singer and insanely dreamy. Search up his musicals, they're great. I'm also going to take a moment to mention Kim Yoo Bin who plays the role of Soo Hyun's daughter, Han Saet Byul. Her acting is what it is, I won't comment much on that but considering her age, she is pretty great. She is one of the most promising child actors right now and I'm sure we're going to be seeing her a lot in the future. And then, last but not least, I want to talk about one of the two idols who acted in this drama, Baro. I was really surprised and even a bit worried when I heard what kind of a role he'd be taking on, just because playing a character with an intellectual disability can be very difficult and also very emotional doesn't sound exactly right but I hope you get the point. Turns out I worried for nothing. Baro was great in his role and following his character, Yong Gyu, and his friendship with Saet Byul was very heartwarming. There isn't really much that I want to say about the music for this drama. It was good and suited the scenes and there was a nice range of songs from emotional pieces to more intense and dark ones that went well with the action. I have nothing to complain about so full ten it is. One last thing that I want to mention is that this drama could be considered horror as a genre. There isn't any real massacre or slaughtering well there's a bit but the psychological war that goes on in this drama is really terrifying. I had a hard time watching some bits alone in my room, late at night, so just take a little caution on that. Rewatchability is definitely also very high because the plot is very confusing until the very end and I think it would be fun to watch the drama again, just to see how different the events look when you know exactly what is going on. However, I had to dock one mark because there are certain events in the drama that I do not wish to see twice. In the end, the plot does revolve very closely around the theme of murder so that shouldn't come as a surprise. I tried to make this review short, I really did, and look at what happened XD Anyways, my final verdict is that "God's Gift - 14 Days" is absolutely a show worth watching. Even if you're not into thriller-suspense kind of themes, give it a go because, come on, there's Ki Dong Chan in it. Leia Mais Esta resenha foi útil para você?
