I want to like this show so badly, but it's just not getting me. I feel like they are focusing to much on relationship drama and not enough on the underlying plot.

Congratulations to this drama for being the first drama ever to make me cry during and NC scene. That was so mean, and I am devastated.

All jokes aside, this drama was an absolute masterpiece, and I adored every second of it.

While I agree that Day is a spoiled rich kid, he is not spoiled for calling out to some he trusts for help. Calling out for help is human instinct, doesn't matter how much, or how little money you have. If some poor child was to fall down and hurt themselves and start crying out for the person taking care of them, you don't automatically assume that child is spoiled. You assume that child is in trouble and needs the help or comfort of someone more capable than them. The same goes for Day. He may be an adult, but because he is blind he can no longer navigate the world or remove himself from stressful situations without a little help. Needing help doesn't make you spoiled, and neither does asking for help. I would even go as far as to say asking for help is the opposite of a character flaw, as too many people try to just bull through life without asking for help and end up hurting themselves or others.

The time between the pilot trailer and the official trailer was like 4 months. Way to little time to do the show as well as it could be done. I would say you need bare minimum 6 months to do a show well, ideally even longer, depending on the completion level of the script by the time the pilot trailer airs. That being said, the show is still a fun watch.

This show is absolutely breathtaking! P'Aof never lets us down!

Some small talk with my fists!

THIS!

There are so many aspects of this show that are interesting to me, but the production and directing is just so poor, that it kind of makes me mourn what this show could have been in the hands of more talented people. Because I get the style they are trying to emulate, but they are failing spectacularly at getting it right.

It's how it should be😂😏

In most places, to legally transition you have to go to a doctor and get a gender dysphoria diagnosis. However their isn't really anything stopping people from just claiming they are trans so unfortunately some cis straight men have been trying to claim to be trans to get into women's spaces and queer spaces. In an ideal world, medical access would be easy to get, so trans people could obtain a diagnosis more readily so they could change their legal documentation, this would help stop people who aren't trans from being able to claim they are. However as the world is now, this would be detrimental to trans people who don't have the means to get a diagnosis, because medical access isn't as easy to obtain as it should be.

Yes, the actress is a trans woman.

The actress who plays fern is trans, the character is not trans.

It's no problem, being open and curious to learn is what betters the world. Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt as I'm neither trans nor intersex, so not all of this may be perfectly acurate.

An intersex person is someone who is biologically neither male or female. Intersex people make up roughly 1% of the worlds population, but as intersex conditions are seen as taboo since these people don't fit into the perfect male or female boxes society created, intersex conditions are very underdiagnosed, and the ones that are, are kept a secret. There are hundreds of different intersex conditions. An example of one of the most common intersex conditions is a condition called androgen insesitivity syndrome, where an XY person does not respond to testosterone, causing it to develope outwardly female.

Trans people are people who are born one gender, and transition to another gender later in life. The prefix "trans" just means "to change" or "to go across", so transgender literally means "to change gender". Not all trans people get surgery (as surgery is costly and invasive), some take only take hormones or choose to just socially transition (new name,
new pronouns, new clothes). In almost all places in the world medically transitioning requires a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, so you technically can't just claim to be transgender in that sense. Some
studies suggest that trans people may actually have the brain / brain chemistry of the gender they transition into.

No. Pan people are attracted to people regardless of gender, meaning Yai would be attracted to men as well, but he is only attracted to women, so he is straight. The implication that you have to be pan to be attracted to trans people is actually kinda transphobic as it implies that trans people aren't "real women" or "real men".

Dude. His GIRLFRIEND is a trans WOMAN. He is a man attracted to Women, meaning he IS heterosexual, since nowhere is it stated that he was ever attracted to a man.

I mean, if the government isn't taking care of them and putting them behind bars, I'm all for some vigilante justice.

Ep 4 was the best ep so far, but it still wasn't good. The director just doesn't know how to do a mystery / thriller / dark show well imo.

Another filler episode. There were a grand total of like 7 minutes of the entire episode that were important. You could easily delete the rest of the episode without effecting the pretty much non existant plot. And the end of the episode!? This series was already bad, but defalting to a cheap miscommunication trope, really!?

Could have been a ten if the editing wasn't god awful.

As someone who enjoyed both the plot and the acting, the editing really brought down the quality of the show. They added super over dramatic music over scenes were it was not needed, the special effects were, well, special, and the editing style in general took away from the overall product. It was very hard to just be in the moment with the show and take things seriously with stuff like that going on. I was constantly ripped out of the moment because all I could focus on was why the hell the editor chose to do what they did.
