Could have been good if they focused more on the romance and the main characters
This show is very weirdly structured. They spend so much time in side stories that go nowhere that by the end, I wasn’t really that invested in the main couple. Well, at least not until the time jump. The cast is overall good, with highest praise going to Nut.
I don’t really understand the role of most of the supporting cast in this show. We need the mom to have all the family drama and someone to care for Phat at home. And me need Dream so we have the connection to the supernatural world. But Nuan get’s so much screen time for nothing. She’s not a good person, she’s doesn’t really care about anything and her one “punishment”, after causing a lot of trouble, is not getting Kinn. If she didn’t existing, and Phob just ran aways from home because of anything else, would give us the same end result. The guardian spirit of the house might be important, but he didn’t need to have a connection to Nuan, adding to my last point.
The story is kinda simple, we don’t actually get must mystery about Phob’s death. We don’t hear about the fact that he was involved in an hit and run. Also, the way this show bends the rules stablished just a few episodes before is unbelievable. In one episode we clearly see Phob and Phat not being able to touch each other and the explanation for that. Then, on episode 7 Phat is laying on Phob’s leg and they are touching like it’s nothing. No mention of it being nice to finally touch or them being surprised. Only on the following episode do we see Phob asking the guardian spirit about the fact that they can touch now. I truly believe the show did that just so they could do the sponsored scene where Phob is applying a hair treatment on Phat.
Now, the family drama with Dream and her dad, and all the alien stuff with Luck… It did not deliver anything at all. We keep hearing about Dream’s dad, and in the end he’s just a post it note. And after hearing about Luck’s parents being, possibly, adducted by aliens and he seeing two weird flashes, we get… nothing. Am I supposed to be hoping for another series focused on Dream and Luck to learn about their mysteries? Sorry, but I’ll pass.
Now, for the good part. I have to admit, the time jump to adult Phat telling Phob his story was nice. It’s a plot device that can work in a situation like this human/ghost romance. It was nice to learn that Phat managed to live a fairly good life, get and married, but never forgot Phob. It was also, obviously, very nice to see them reunited in the end.
By the way, I’ve never seen a worst reedit of a show as the one that was upload in the official Youtube channel. They literally just cut several scenes to reduce the runtime. It's impossible to watch Something in My Room on Youtube.
