Exploring the difference between improving skills and fitting in to advance. As well as the outside and the inside view on  person and how we need to be confident in our inside view to endure what others think of us. Also the validation and support we to thrive. 01.01.25

Average special with a cameo 1. 28.12.24 Despite the first episode setup being weak for the time it took laid the ground work for this hilarious second episode with its absurd vibe. 2. 04.12.24

An exploration of queer life 10. 04.01.25

Good execution of a healing plot. Decent camerawork The only thing that was especially noticeable here was the format specific repetitions this could have easily worked as a film. 05.01.25

Visually  stunning. The contrast between the cold blue shadow loneliness and the hot spotlight full of friction loneliness the fear to burn someone and the feeling of being frozen. But the screen narrative was too weak in comparison. Since alot of time was expended on Minase's letter series missed to give equivalent time and weight to the companionship and abandonment that the letter prologues evokes. While not wholly perfect true contender for best use of visual language. 11. 07.01.24

Generational love and a love story ? The familiar relationships seem very loving and mark this as comforting. 1. 09.11.24
All the build  up dread of the appearance of Kanae's father is getting channeled into Touki's wish for a father. Htey really know what they are doing. 5. 12.12.24
The emotion came to a head but I felt it was too theatrical for a series that was alway so considerate to each other especially from the ace character. 7. 06.01.25
A very kind and considerate series and if I did not have such a strong reaction to the telephone scene I would have rated it higher. 8. 07.01.25

8. Januar

A positive and affirming story with a strong romance but a weak adversity resolution for Zixiang that let the final episode fall flat. 13.  08.01.25

10. Januar

Having the extent of the mystery involving the Zoo revealed explaines the rating. 4. 29.11.24
This cut did not fit with way the story was told previously. it felt thrown together 9. 03.12.24
With penultimate episode disaster and move towards wish fulfillment the ending felt more fantastical than the premise of the series. The ending scene with them supposedly sitting in the arctic in autumn clothes while it vis freezing outside here did contribute to my dissatisfaction with the finale. 10. 10.01.25

Choppy. Excited to Kim Hanyeong act but the setup is rushed and jumps without establishing the situation 12 minutes in we are too into the weeds of the story without knowing why anyone needs to be here. 11. 16.01.25
I want to see the actors again but the story is a mess getting drugged three times while drinking jumping over important plot points. This could have been a decent production. 70. 16.01.25
