Also dropping my two cents for anyone on the fence:
This show is based on a webtoon that’s only 30 chapters long—which, by webtoon standards, isn’t a lot. For those expecting everything to be laid out in the first two episodes, keep in mind that if the show followed the webtoon’s pace, it wouldn’t even cover five episodes (it’s that short and to the point). That’s probably why the only adaptation so far has been in movie form.
The director is taking a meticulous route, and I personally think it’s fitting for a mystery drama. In the second episode, we get a peek into the witch’s POV and see her journey from confusion and fear to grief, and finally to the present-day witch who feels nothing but apathy toward the world: “Is it not possible to live without meeting people?”
And sure, they could’ve rushed through this in one episode, but I don’t think it would’ve carried the same emotional weight or built up the angst that’s clearly on the horizon. I mean, the MC literally followed her home, and he is friends with a crime detective… you see where this is going, right?
If you’re willing to give it a chance, I think the slow burn is going to pay off in a big way.
only 2 eps in & the acting in Newtopia is surprisingly good, which is kind of perfect, since the show doesn’t exactly ask you to take it seriously in the first place.
It's unfortunate that the hardwork of the cast and crew is left to waste due to circumstances beyond their control, hope one day this film may see the light
Oooh, call me intrigued, an AoGG fan here!How will it be similar??
Unfortunately I haven't seen any further details yet other than the mention in the article, but i'll make sure to reply back if theres any more updates, because I'm also very curious as to how it'll be implemented.
Not had the chance to read AoGG yet, but I loved Anne with an E 😊

Honestly, this is the best outcome bc rather than be restricted to one (unpopular) service it can be viewed on Netflix, TVING, Wavve, Viki, Viu, etc
Secretly Greatly & My Love from the Star are my personal faves
