Not bad. So far so good. Usually, remakes don't work, but I appreciate how toned down the chief and Harutas character is here. I've also noticed the little details in interaction is different due to cultural difference such as the bus scene.
Great performance from the cast. Consistent pacing and build-up from past to present. Felt bad for Kido (of course the others too). I legit forgot this was a revenge film, so despite how I saw the twist coming it was still pretty good.
Note: This is not a BL, but more so, on the strong friendship side.
Didn't expect myself to finish this in one binge. At first, the first few episodes were slow, but it got intriguing after ep2. The concept and story structure eerily reminds me of Gantz. It's scary to think a survival game could easily replace and remove you from your reality.
The acting was convincing compared to your usual all-female cast dramas. I actually enjoyed this series.
The action scenes were decent to keep the story engaging, but something was missing. The pacing was so-so. I loved the costume designs for the antagonist's suits and guns. It had a star wars/Tron legacy feel to them.
This was pretty decent. The series had a chill vibe. I do wish some of the hobbies and interests of the young Shun and Nagisa would have been mentioned in the sequel film. Because of that the film and series feel completely separate. I felt bad for the girls and surprised me how supportive they turned out to be.
I believe this is one of the dramas that made me become invested this year.
The whole journey with these characters made me reflect on appreciating what we have now and cherishing the important people and moments in our life. Also, loved the character development especially Lura sans character(s).
I didn't expect this rom-com drama to turn out to take an emotionally sad yet wholesome story. The chaotic moments in this drama were also unforgettable.

I was pretty surprised by how quickly she recovered from her years of trauma.
