I’m still getting used to the vertical filming style. It kind of throws off the visuals and makes the story feel a bit less immersive. The series definitely isn’t flawless, but it still won me over thanks to the incredible acting, striking cinematography, and beautiful soundtrack. That’s why I’m giving it a solid 10. It was a true emotional rollercoaster.

The story is intense, with heavy scenes that are hard to digest. Jingu was the character who moved me the most. Beneath his confident exterior, there’s a quiet vulnerability that only starts to show when Yuho enters the picture. To me, he’s the most emotionally fragile of the three teens. The pain both Yuho and Jingu carry is so raw and well portrayed that I just wanted to shield them from the world’s cruelty.

I get that Rina also has her emotional scars, but I couldn’t feel any sympathy for her, her actions really got under my skin.

The biggest flaw of the series is that none of the storylines get enough time to fully develop, and the ending felt a bit unsatisfying, even though the message was beautiful. Still, compared to other series, it delivered a lot.
