[Drama Chat] Location, location, location » Dramabeans

I really like the care that’s put into inserting characters into significant, memorable, and (often) lovely units and places in dramas. Having lately completed The Witch (and nonetheless fascinated about it!), I appreciated how the ever present rooftop condominium turned each a haven and a jail for the FL, and when the constrained units opened as much as a unique locale on the finish, it made me emotional. I loved seeing Undercover Excessive College be set at my favourite college in Korea – it is such a standby location that it has the familiarity of an outdated buddy! I additionally love that interiors are given as a lot care and thought as exteriors… the gorgeously designed and lit interiors of The Matchmakers added to the light magic of its story. I additionally love that units aren’t simply the bodily areas, but additionally the soundscapes. In Name it Love, the cityscape included gentle sounds of visitors within the background because the characters went about their day, and in Like Flowers in Sand, at any time when the characters had been shut sufficient to the ocean, you possibly can hear the waves within the background, and as they went additional inland, waves had been changed with the sound of breeze via leaves. I really maintain a listing of dramas that really feel very place-based with ambient sounds of their settings, like countryside, seaside, or metropolis.
