for when you're tired of slow-motion kisses

the bag drop!!! i rewound it four times

ahn pan-seok and making me scream at a pair of shoes, a love story

classic Ahn Pan-seok. he always turns the camera away at the exact moment you want to look

a drama where the camera has more restraint than the leads, love that

I like the cut-away, but I'll wait a couple more episodes. a second-episode kiss is easy, the third act is where the camera runs out of shoes to look at.

Ahn Pan-seok tends to cut away right where other directors would linger, and it works because the viewer fills the gap. Curious if the cut-away becomes a running gag by episode six.

The bag drop is the real costume department win. A prop doing the kiss's job for it.
