A Beautifully Crafted Emotional Masterpiece

I initially thought Jin would be just another typical Japanese isekai story filled with harem elements and characters who constantly worship the protagonist. However, I was completely wrong.

The story presents an interesting concept. While it isn’t entirely unique, it is used effectively by placing the main character in a moral and emotional dilemma. The protagonist struggles with real-life problems while living in a different timeline, and this duality adds depth to the narrative. The philosophical monologues are thoughtful and reasonable, making it easy for the audience to empathize with his hardships.

The character development of the protagonist is especially strong. He evolves from a coward burdened by past mistakes into a compassionate individual who is willing to do everything he can to save the people in front of him.

Every character in this drama is engaging. Each side character plays an important role and has a meaningful influence on the main character. Their actions significantly shape his mindset and drive the story forward.

The OST is powerful and well-composed, though I do wish there were more tracks to add variety, as some themes are reused frequently across episodes.

The portrayal of Japanese history in the series is also impressively accurate.

I’m very much looking forward to watching the second season, and I hope it will be just as strong as the first.
