10/10. This is how you do a second season. No words. If you had issues with S1, don't let that steer you away from watching S2 please! This show made my heart full with each episode every week and will forever hold a very special place in my heart.
I agree - the first 4 eps were great and had a direction - then it strated to meander.
honestly if chalotorn and him became a thing i'd be like okay at least they gave us some closure. i swear of he's in prison for committing a crime he didn't do, after being betrayed by a shitty bf i'll throw hands.

and since it looked like they'll have a s2, they could've spaced things out more, or focused on the point of each episode. I also found a lot of the scenes unnecessary (all the guys coming to phaya's hospital room and crying lol) etc. ofc the entire time i kept thinking about nat's storyline - what actually happened to him?
thank you for writing all this. totally agree. i think that the strongest were the first 4 eps and after that it felt like they were trying to put everything in without any end goal.
i'm hoping that they are misleading with with the tsundere FL having a husband and child because it's so frustrating to see lesbian stories where one or both women have male bfs or husbands 😑
Deep Delusion & Denial: the series That's my summary of this show. If you watch this and want to understand or make sense of anything anyone is doing or saying, don't bother. They tried to say something but everything was all over the place and we never get to sit with the characters to understand or empathize with them. It's quite frustrating with a script that failed imo.
if it wasn't for the awkward kissing/intimate scenes between the leads, i would give this a 9.5. For such a short series with an amnesia trope, they did really well. the coloring/cinematography/camera work in this is so so good. the characters are personified wonderfully through their wardrobes. imo the actor that plays fumiya is a better actor and imbued so much emotions just with his micro expressions. if you want to watch a jbl that is a little different (artsy and indie vibes with an underlying thread of melancholy), watch this one.
ep 8 was so heavy i ended up crying at multiple points. i think maybe because asami went through so much grief, she was able to be a human in the next life. aaaa i don't want this show to end in 2 eps ðŸ˜
If you like a police drama, choose this one. Although the last two episodes were a bit dragged out and melodramatic, I still loved every minute of it. The plot is so strong, and everything is strung together so well. The characters are great. If you've been disappointed by detective jdramas before, please try this one. The body swapping in this isn't cringe and is very crucial to the plot. I loved the casting of all the characters. If you ended up on this page and wondering whether to watch it or not, WATCH IT. PLEASE.
the story was very predictable from the beginning but it wasn't hard to watch because something was always going on. if you like takahashi issei, he gets so much screentime and looks so good being the rogue policeman, it's a treat.
Can someone explain the ending? Did her husband submit the tip that she was on the ship? Did they both plan this…
so at the very end they show that her husband was "dead" but the death certificate was forged. and later she travels to the US. which kinda confirms that she went to meet and live with her husband who was in fact alive. I do think that it was her husband who tipped the army, only to keep her safe. I actually don't think that they had both planned this out, given by how much the wife cries at the end. But maybe i'm wrong.
Yes, it could've been better with longer episodes and more episodes altogether for everything to be explained and tied well. However for what they had I think that they did really good. The acting was great and I waited for the episodes every week. A lot of it is predictable due to the genre (as we've seen other kdramas do this kind of fantasy storyline a lot). The last episode was the weakest but I actually liked the open(ish) ending without any montage of them actually getting to have dinner. I liked the show and wish there was a s2 to show how Dongbaek and Yudam get close again.
i didn't understand shishio's story arc. i don't think that akaza is ready to not expect anything but a romance with shishio, and they probably won't ever have a true friendship. i wish they dealt with that part of the story better.
story and cast is good but there's too many plot holes from ep 1 that just can't be ignored and feels like the screenwriters didn't do their job properly. i think they were a bit ambitious with trying to put this storyline off with bad writing.
That's my summary of this show.
