This review may contain spoilers
Fish Upon the Sky starts really strong, especially because of Pi’s character. His struggles with insecurity, bullying, and feeling unlovable feel very real and easy to relate to. His change in appearance is not just about looks, but also about wanting to be accepted, which the show handles really well in the beginning.
But as the story moves forward, things start to feel off. Mork’s character, in particular, feels a bit unsettling at times. Even though he is charming and good-looking, he often ignores Pi’s boundaries. He keeps pushing Pi about his feelings and doesn’t respect his wish to keep things private. Because of this, some of his actions feel more forceful than caring, even if his intentions are good.
The whole social media shipping part also feels uncomfortable. Pi clearly says he doesn’t like it, yet it continues and Mork even feeds to their delusions, and his fears about being judged and criticized are proven right towards the end.
The biggest problem is the ending. Important issues like Pi’s insecurity and the hurt caused to him are solved too quickly. It feels rushed and unrealistic. Pi doesn’t really get the proper growth or healing that his character needed, and everything just wraps up too easily.
Overall, the drama had a great start and a very relatable main character, but the story didn’t handle things well in the end and feels incomplete
