Pros and Cons
Pros:
-Nice Storyline
-Great Acting
-Tear Jerker
Cons:
-Overlooks mental illnesses and Abuse
-Some areas were rushed
-Left me wanting more (i wasn't satisfied where it left off)
To expound on the cons:
This series did a terrible job at shining a light on how mental illness affects people.. especially teenagers. It made it seem like all Umine had to do is accept the fact that she was 'unconventionally attractive' so that people would treat her better.
This series also overlook Umine being physically and verbally abused by her mother which was a major factor as to why she is the way she is currently. I wish this series had focused a tad more on Umine's life as opposed to them just trying to prove that by ignoring all the bad things in life and just accepting it you would be better off.
