elisheva_m: a water colour rainbow on a water colour sky with the word hope (Default)
Just finished The Shipper (GMMTV, on their youtube channel of course) and the OST won't leave my head. It's so full of twists and turns I'm not sure how to squee about it or even recommend it without giving things away. It's goofy and intelligent, silly, over the top, ridiculous, oh my god you're not doing THAT, and heartwarming. Relevant in its messaging. EVERY emotion is magnified, sometimes through outlandishness, often through changes in the arrangement of the music, always through the acting.

The acting is pitch perfect. All of the cast gave exactly what they needed to in each moment, no more, no less. This was an early one for many of them as well, how can they be THAT good THAT young? (And Jennie. OMG. She was brilliant. Must find more outrageousness from her.) Credit to the director/screenwriter and whoever made the casting decisions for bringing this out of them. And for negotiating an over the top complicated plot that turns itself completely around every episode.

More about the acting, so some possible spoilers. If you're going to watch it, come back to this after. )
