Best MeMindY Series
Ive seen every work created by Mame and I have to say that for me The Boy Next World was the best in terms of cinematography, music, acting, and overall just producing feeling. It told a good story with a bit of mystery to it so its definitely not a casual watch, you actually have to think and pick up on all the clues left in each episode to fully get the picture. Everything had a meaning down to the color of the cardigans Phu was wearing and lighting choices for scenes.
I love how we're made to believe one thing create multiple theories and have the answers be so unexpected but also in your face at the same time. I know people are finicky because they want more exploration into the parallel worlds (which we'll get with the special episode) but that isnt really the point of this story. The point is Cirrus and Phu getting together and the parallel worlds adds to it by showing they are meant to be in every universe.
Boss and Noeul did so amazing with everything. Theres no denying their chemistry is the best in the industry but in LITA they did not have as much emotional range and action in that series to showcase their potential as LITA was meant to be purely a feel good work. We saw them excel at handling emotional scenes. Especially Noeul who is a very beautiful crier and made my heart break for him many times and Boss' breakdown in ep 9 and 10 were real tearjerkers. The action sequences with fight scenes and car accidents were scary and amazingly pulled off. I think honestly moving away from purely feel good and more into the action/mafia vibe would be so good for them. Have them be red flags and Noeul not so innocent character as he has immaculate aura being wasted. Though hes amazing at being cute too the versatility he has is🤭
As for the ncs, the fact they were a minute long and still somehow outshined every other nc Mame has ever produced shows a lot about their comfortability with each other is all ill say. Looking forward to the boxset.
The only thing I think could be improved is with the last episode. I feel like that ending was not enough with the mother. Like i know Ozone has a plan in place to get back at her but I think hitting her with a car would have worked better than swapping sons or at least let the husband go back to her instead and set the kids free.
I dont think Mame realizes the full potential of this show but this could be turned into multiple seasons and be a Netflix adaptation if she really wanted it to be. So many avenues to explore and the fact its open ended makes it so much better with the parallel worlds.
Cant wait to see Boss and Noeul's new series. Please dont let us wait too long for it🙏
