I have to admit, Episode 1 left me feeling pretty cold and disconnected, which is a shame because the production quality is clearly very high and the overall plot looks genuinely interesting.My biggest issue is how rushed everything felt. They glossed over the couple’s first time, how they fell in love, and the entire beginning of their relationship with just a quick little montage. For my personal taste, that was a huge miss. I really wish the show had taken at least 2-3 episodes to properly establish the couple so we could actually connect with them and feel invested in their bond. Instead, it felt like we were supposed to instantly care about their relationship without ever being shown why.The same problem hit with the big daughter reveal in Episode 1. They dropped it as this massive moment right away, but without any real buildup or time to get to know the characters, it just fell completely flat. There was no emotional weight—no heartbreak, no sense of betrayal, nothing. I kept thinking: why not wait until the end of Episode 2 at least, so the audience has time to connect with these people before hitting them with something that heavy?The series also feels very different from the first trailer. After watching, it almost seems like a completely different show. Usually a scene like the one at the ending would leave me with a terrible feeling in my stomach and goosebumps, but instead I just felt… nothing. I couldn’t connect with the characters because everything was rushed so much.That said, I’m still curious to see more. The plot itself seems promising, and I really hope Episode 2 slows down a bit and makes up for the pacing issues in the premiere. It’s not a bad series by any means — it’s high quality — but right now the story execution and emotional connection to the audience are lacking. We’re being asked to feel things without being properly shown why we should care.
