Its the BEGINNING so is common sense to see that it shows us why Rurouni Kenshin has that new sword now. Here Arimura Kasumi has main role but well mydramalist gives takei emi the main one. It makes no sense for kaoru to have main role in the story.
1st week bleh. As usual overhyped korean drama soup presented. Writing and direction all over the place n music to assist. As happens with these kind of korean fantasy dramas - more and more nonsense will be peddled in upcoming weeks. Copy-paste job in story+characters not makes for +ve experience.
I'm highly enjoying this show. Music direction is so on point for this kind of action. Writer likes to fit every block and quite technical about it and that is what creates the biggest mishap in the story. Events and happenings can't be too coincidental and conveniently to pick up to suit the narrative. Still, this copy-paste job is better than others. If you have to value a drama then criteria must be the same - which fickle minds intentionally not employee. Overall, good going till 5th week.
The poster aka teaser aka teaser showed nothing, description made different impression but the 1st episode is goes quite different from that assumption and impression. It could have turned more crazy Japanese comedy but it didn't and actually is far more normal aka common man drama. I really liked the 1st episode. Good thing writer didn't play the "dreams" card. Also, i wish to see more of other characters as 1st episode significantly spent time on Haruto and Rihoko. I hope not b/c they are some big actors but same importance will be given to other characters too. Let's see how they make new turns into their life as they have to make big decisions now.
Episode 02 was another good episode and this show shouts - its 2021. Last week i said the way director missed to utilise the Hanami Festival and even though director has tried to show beautiful cherry blossom, writer missed a bit of importance of this event. Last scene of our main characters . hehe . Relationships are easy and atmosphere is positive and soothing. Music is the type which this show really needs, little offbeat and can ruin the atmosphere of many eventful actions and scenes. Director doing good job with technical stuff. Presentation of story nd how shoing characters through technology of smartphones is nice gesture as it directly attaches to our female character and her life. Overall, far better done slice of life drama with slight blush of romance.
The 1st week was good. Among all the kdramas that have aired in 2021 this is the only 2nd one having quality and potential. Nothing much is new in the story and we do have typical characters but presentation is good. The start writer came up is so real and resonate with present social as well as political climate of world. Also we do the typical everyone is corrupt copy-paste job but i think writer hasn't kept this as the purpose of the show. Concept still is about Citizens and their rights. Director did really good for choosing different actors to represent same characters. Overall a decent start. And i do hope writer just won't foolishly distract from the main concept so as gather better ratings. Pint story is such that it can become one more typical corruption kdrama of who's in power.
I'm actually slightly disappointed with the show's writing as well as writer and even director isn't doing more to make things look better. Having cliches is no issue but good presentation is a must and here i can't actually feel any of that any energy or +ve outcome whatsoever. Ofcourse, there isn't much new in the story and the plots that gonna popup in future but still writer needs to atleast put some efforts. The whole episodes main events became merely the tools and lost the touch they should have brought forward in the build of new dynamic of soon-tobe-rikon couple. The couple surely is missing the energy and enthusiasm and humour isn't there to distract some of its shortcomings.
I had more expectations from the drama but so far it hasn't lived upto its potential at all.

Things have become hectic. This show had potential but it has done underwhelming job from 1st week itself.
