La Dolce Vita drama review
I originally posted this review on crunchyroll. I'm deleting my account on there so I thought I'd post here.
Are you really “crazy in love”? Could you throw everything away (your family, your kids, your career) to maintain it? How deep does your love run? How far are you willing to push the limits…would it be worth sacrificing your life over?
La Dolce Vita isn’t a simple drama by any means. The writer and director challenge you to start thinking right when the opening scene is set. Someone committed suicide…what made them do it? Was it really suicide? What drove this character to do it? Money? Love? Or something darker? We rewind 6 months to where it all began and slowly all the characters come into play. Each of their layers is peeled back and you fall deeper into the characters as the show progresses. You learn who they are, how they live, how they love and what their deepest desires are. And what caused them to change.
La Dolce Vita is a dark, intimate, emotionally complex and intense drama. It offers no apologies, psychologically or emotionally. The actors all did a decent job with their roles, but for me they weren’t the biggest attraction of the drama. The director does a great job setting the dark mood of the story with beautiful scenery and an emotional OST. In that sense, the writer and the director really compliment each other. Little details were important and they kept me analyzing, questioning, and trying to predict the outcome of this story. La Dolce Vita had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I don’t regret watching this drama at all, even though it doesn’t offer any straightforward answers nor does it give you that warm fuzzy feeling. I appreciate the ugliness that was explored in this drama.
I’d definitely recommend watching La Dolce Vita with no hesitation. I’d rate it 10/10 and I’m tempted to say that this is one of the finest dramas I've watched in terms of production, writing, directing and musical score.
