Like Moon Eclipsing the Sun, Kids Eclipse Adults
Story: IT syndrome strikes again as the drama loses its luster once the tween and teen cast is replaced with adults. I stopped watching after episode 8 for neither the older cast nor the story after the time jump worked for me.
Acting: all stars go to young cast who are phenomenal (Ep 1 - 5.5). That's one constant with K dramas - child actors always deliver. Adults didn't measure up so I docked 2 stars. Why couldn't they tell the story without the time jump? It would have spared this drama the convoluted identity mystery that totally ruined otherwise strong set up.
Music: don't remember.
Rewatch value: This is a tricky one. Like IT, the first part with kids/teens is fantastic and rewatchable. But the second part with adult versions drops the ball. So re-watch while characters are young and then pretend the story ended with them.
Overall: I was meaning to watch the new show Moon Rising from the River but thought that it was called Moon Rising from the Sun. So wrong key words led me to this show. It really should've been only about those tweens and teens. I'm yet to see a show or movie where child versions don't eclipse adults and had a better story too. IT, Slumdog Millionaire, this drama are just some examples. Writers should trust kids. Look at Harry Potter. They made Harry Potter universe movies with adults (Fantastic Beasts) and it didn't work.
