i finally finished to my shore last night ٩>ᴗ<)و
the show had reallyyyy been dragging for me in the middle there but it surprised me by picking up in the end. overall i think there were some spots where the writing/characterization could have been a bit better but my enjoyment of the series really cut through any of the flaws. i really do have a soft spot for toxic bl antics lol
and i do think there was a good amount of depth to the story too. the cinematography and color palette especially all felt really intentional and was part of what made me enjoy it so much. i put it on my list to rewatch at some point bc i think there's a lot of details i'll be able to pick up on more on a second watch
in the end i gave it an 8.5, much higher than i had expected to land on. not a perfect show but a really really fun one :))
