There's something genuinely sweet about the setup here. A misunderstood first love that fell apart under unfortunate circumstances, seven years of distance, and then a job interview — for a dating simulation game, of all things — that puts them back in the same room. That kind of quiet narrative irony works for me, and the series has its heart in exactly the right place.
The problem is purely one of space. Ten to fifteen minutes per episode, eight episodes total — by the time I'd settled in it was already ending. There's a version of this story that has room to breathe, to let the reunion develop with the weight it deserves, to give the characters time to actually process what seeing each other again means. This version doesn't quite have that luxury, and it shows.
I don't think that's a failure of writing or performance — what's there is warm and handled well. It's more that the format works against the emotional ambitions of the story. Some narratives need more than two hours to land properly, and second-chance romance is almost always one of them.
Left me wanting more in the most literal sense possible. Which is either a compliment or a frustration depending on how you look at it — for me personally, it was a little of both.
