Sometimes in the rush of being an adult, we often exclaim how great it would be to be a child again, carefree and happy. But maybe as adults we do tend to romanticize aspects we don't really recall or don't want to recall. And then we realise that that child had just as much to deal with as an adult self does, and maybe it's not so bad that the only thing we remember is the happy image of that kid. Wouldn't hurt to emulate them at times either.
I did not expect it to get that philosophical or emotional, but I'll be honest, the series did take me on some strange kind of discovery journey, even if I didn't want it to.

Emotional revelations aside, it's weird when a drama surprises you in the aspects you expected it to disappoint, but then ends up dissapointing you in other aspects anyways. No, I'm not going to pretend the constant switch between an adult man and a seven year old child did not freak me out, from minute one to the last second, it absolutely did. But honestly, what should've been the worst part of the show was one thing that was handled decently. Not great, but decent.

From the outset, this was a strange concept for me. Your boyfriend reverting to a younger age but constantly switching between his two identities is something that needs to be handled with care and sensitivity, especially since with the implications of something traumatic underlying all this. For that part, they handled it well. It was never a one and done deal - because Solar constantly reverting to Sun, and Pobmek's reaction to all of it was a huge part of the story.
Even their romance was well done - mostly restricted to the audience seeing flashbacks of how they met and fell in love, because the present is mostly scenes of Pobmek with Sun.

The series talks about a lot of things besides Solar's past and Sun's identity, delving in Pobmek's past and his relationship with his mom, adult friendships, hardships of being a teacher, the difficulties in relating to children, even pressure that children face. So much, they discuss and bring up so many things and it's both wonderful and part of the problem with this series.

When you talk about so much in the span of ten episodes, you can hardly dedicate a good portion of screentime to each individual topic. They come and go so fast that they never stick, each time an issue is brought up, it's resolved within the episode (rather unrealistically as well). And while much appreciated, I wish they would've done more with it.

But overall? This was actually a very decent series. I liked a lot of things they talked about, and most of how they handled difficult conversations. The cast worked really well together, every single character was extremely likeable and Perth and Santa's chemistry, as always, was incredible.

I would recommend this, it's a very nice, feel good show that is short enough to not feel tiring and is very easily bingeable. So give it a try, I'd say it's worth a watch :)
