This review may contain spoilers
PROVISIONALLY rated depending on future development
What do you expect from a person when they have been treated like an asset, a robot, and not allowed to live their own life for even a minute? What do you expect them to do when they fall in love (at first sight) with the first person that speaks kindly of them? What standard of person should they be in the short period of time they are allowed to live on their own before returning to the discipline and slavery at their "mother's"?
It's a miracle Cirrus didm't turn out to be a serial killer or at least violent bully. Instead he became a stalker. One that admires his beloved from afar and secretly does what he can to make their life easier. Leave an umbrella here, deliver some flowers there, prevent a car theft... All very innocent. Until he gets the chance to actually meet and court the object of his desire. After getting into a car accident he dreams up a world where he and his love Phukan are together. When he wakes up, it takes him a while to realize this was a dream and in the meantime he meets Phu and tries to convince him they're together in another world.
Motivations aside, this main part of the story is already crazy. But we know crazy comes from Mame, so we bare with it. but then we get introduced to a boy who can read minds. until he falls in love with someone, then he can't read their mind anymore.
So, we had a supernatural thing (parallel worlds) that was fake. And now we have a supernatural thing (mindreading) that is real? Are you confused yet? because I am.
But it gets worse (or better, depending on your view). The parallel world thing seems to be real after all! at least, that's been hinted at. We never get a definite answer. Just like we don't get a answer why Cirrus'brother suddenly decides to step in for him (they have had a minimum of interaction before that). Why Cirrus'mom is like that (a divorce is not a good enough reason for this level of psycho). Why Phu is upset about the lying but not the stalking and many more strange and peculiar choices.
That being said, Boss and Noeull are on their best performance. The cinematography is phenomenal. The music amazing and Boss and Noeull are the best kissers in the industry. If this is all we will get to see of Cirrus and Phukan I will be hella mad and I will adjust my rating to the 6,5 it deserves on it's own. it's just that I have the feeling we have been looking at a very elaborate trailer or pilot for one or more series to come next in this universe that could be created from this. DO NOT SKIP THIS OPPORTUNITY DEAR MAME!!
