Too much in the story took away from the quality
Accidentally erased my whole review so this is take 2.
Starting with the good (that is way less that I would like), I really appreciated the amazingly tidy way they developed the whole plot. At the beginning it very much felt like they were throwing random shit to make the story exiting but senseless in the long run, but by the end it was made clear that whoever made this really thought this through, it ties up so many thing in a very perfect way that left me impressed, biggest example being that they explained the reason behind almost only good school achievers to become gifted when it's never implied before to have a correlation. The other good thing is that it was very obsessive to watch, finished it in 2-3 days.
Going to the bad, the best place to start is the beginning, which was so underwhelming, so many things gone wrong. First is that we start with a character we've never seen before, and that with passing episodes proves to have no purpose of personality other that having a character that drives the plot forward, second we just jump over 2019 and give it like 10 minutes, thing that causes a sense of distance from the characters, that given the absolute lack of attention and development that was given to the side characters, these end up feeling like add ups that have no purpose and I really just didn't care about any of them (sad specially in Ohm'and Mon's cases for me). The main characters get saved because they have enough screen time and care to make me feel connected all over again (Wave def gained a special place in my heart).
Following with the characters, and specifically going to Pram, I really hate how they handled him, the other characters deposited on him every big choice but then half of them left him to do things alone or blame him for everything and never take responsibility, and then he fails and fails and fails so he "gives up" and everyone but him solves the issue it feels like all importance is taken away from him (even tho we discover he never really gave up and all, is such a small time and feel given to the screen it left me very dissatisfied), but then the again put almost all responsibility over him, like... it doesn't make any sense with the number of time they disregarded him (choices that were kinda logic at the time so this actitud of making him leader lost it's cohesion with the story).
My final complain is with Grace and the Director's powers. Grace's because it's so convenient to the plot it ends up being the cause they solve everything, like, it's totally a plot convenience to fix everything that was hard to fit in the technical aspect of solving the story. Then the Director's powers is used in a similar way but to make sense of any and all times a character acted some way that was off their personality, examples being Korn and Chanon (the most confusing and ridiculous), so it's another plot convenience to tidy up loose ends in the plot.
