A story of realism and art
Before anything else, I have to talk about the art in this show. It was STUNNING! Personally, the painting of Pheem and the angel painting of Koh were my favorites, but they were all so beautiful. Speaking of art, I just love how this show talks about art. From inspiration to just art inn general to REAL art vs AI, it was SO GOOD! I loved seeing it. The speech Jira made about real art vs AI art was everything to me. Absolutely loved it!
Onto the characters!
Jira: I was so 50/50 on whether I liked him or not. My opinion on him changed depending on the scene to be honest. His speech about AI and when he broke up with Koh were my favorite moments from him. Him going back to Koh and what he did to Pheem made me lose some respect for him not going to lie. Idk he was just so back and forth for me. He's an incredible artist though!
Koh:I hated him. He was an asshole in the beginning and was all the way through the show. He's used people all his life and I think that will never change for him. That being said, I do think he genuinely loves and cares for Jira. I just wish we saw some character development from him, but on the other hand he showed that some people just never change. And why did this man never have pants on?! lollll
Pheem: I loved watching his arc and character development so much! He was a completely different person at the end of the show than he was in the beginning. He really learned a lot over the course of the show and I loved seeing it. I was so happy seeing him leave Koh's company. In the end he really deserved better than Jira too.
Mawin: He was a really good friend and a pretty chill dude. Loved that he wasn't afraid to call out Pheem on his bs either. I hope he got some of the acting gigs he wanted because that one audition we saw of his was phenomenal.
Ing: She was the true GOAT. She gave Jira such good advice and I pretty much always agreed with it. I loved that she also was never afraid to call Jira out on his bs either. He should've listened to her more.
For the couples!
Pheem & Jira: First off, their chemistry was INCREDIBLE! I think if it wasn't for Koh, they could've been pretty cute together, especially if Jira never met Koh. I was really rooting for them, but in the end, I was happy they didn't end up together. I think it wasn't fair how Jira treated Pheem at all.
Koh & Jira: They did have some cute, sweet, and sensual moments together for sure...that being said, I hated them together. Nothing against the actors because they obviously have great chemistry. I just think they don't have a lot in common. I think the art vs Ai will continue to be an issue as well, especially since Koh still didn't see an issue with it in the end. Koh will never see where Jira is coming from with that and I think that will be an issue that will be a problem in the future again. I really liked when Jira left Koh and was really hoping the show would end with them not together. I think with the vibe of the show, it definitely could've had an "unhappy" ending and it would've fit much better than them getting together happily in the end. Koh didn't learn anything from their separation and didn't apologize for anything, and I didn't like that despite all that, they still got back together. I think Jira could've still been inspired by him and still painted him without them reconnecting.
Overall!
I loved this show so much! The vibe of the series is so different than anything I've seen before. It wasn't super dramatic with crazy characters or crazy plot, or super spicy either, but still had me hooked from start to finish. The characters, whether I liked them or not, were all super interesting to watch as well. I was disappointed that Jira and Koh got together in the end, but despite that one thing, I thoroughly enjoyed the series so much overall.
The actors did an incredible job as well! I loved getting to see my man Dew in this! I think this was my favorite role of his yet!! I loved seeing Gun as well! Seeing these two together after Leap Day was really fun too!
I highly recommend! I will miss this show a lot!!
