Welcome 2 Life Episode 5

Five Stars

great, now i have fully warmed up to the story.

when i started, i couldn't expect or predict the direction of which the story is going because of the take in alternate universe.

and now things are unfolding bit by bit, i am fully invested.

the story is really complex and i find the pacing to be outstanding!

we could see his moral dilemma from someone who's living the high class society life to someone who's suddenly downgraded to a mere civil servant life with mediocre life and family (wife and kids) he has never chosen, it's been difficult.

so at this point when he's contemplating to quit the prosecutor job and take up the lawyer position with the same old firm that he's working with in World 1, it didn't faze me. i.e. i am not judging. i am trying to understand him, especially because he already decided to fight evil at the end of ep. 2 before he was tele-transported to World 2.

wanting to enjoy the fine things in life is fine, it's usually the means to get there that is problematic. so his choice is too early for me to judge. maybe he's not making the same choice of going back to work for his old boss, rather actually trying to outsmart him and solve the case that involves his wife's older brother.

i do wonder however whether at this point if the writer will truly go down that route, or make a meaningful u-turn where he will choose not to quit his prosecutor job instead after rethinking it, and become an interesting grey character (prosecutor) that retains his wickedness quality as a hotshot lawyer but somehow managed to be happier with less materialism or finer things in life.

also i wanna see how the original character in World 1 is dealt with, because alternate universes are obviously a recipe for disaster if not dealt with well.

and obviously from the high praises, seem like this genre was dealt with intelligently. can't wait to find out more.

this has been as outstanding to me as when i watched Signal and Tunnel. what a really smart writing, kajaa! ^^
