Does anyone know if this series was mentioned at the iQiyi event held recently? I don't follow the actors but am interested in seeing them in something else and this synopsis appeals to me more than Magic Lovers.
Not to be controversial but this series didn't NEED a special episode. The series got a proper wrap up for all of its characters. I totally get Domundi wanting to capitalize on the momentum and hype but it's unfortunate because the series that got a horrible ending and truly could've used a special episode to make things right for all of the many viewers who got shafted and conned by the royal mess didn't get a special episode. Do I think that series deserved a special episode? No, but it really could've BENEFITTED from one to right the wrongs. Though in all honestly they probably would've botched that opportunity too 🙄
With that said, a special is always good news for fans of any series - as it should be - so I genuinely don't mean to rain on the parade with this comment and I genuinely hope this special is given a worthwhile story. The series may not have been my cup of tea but fans of it deserve more than a half-baked cash grab.
And in case it wasn't clear - my gripe is solely with the clowns at the Domundi circus and only them so please don't hate me for this take 🙈
So I went ahead and read the manga and now I'm confused because their story appears to be unfinished and still ongoing. At least that was my impression from where Therapy Game: Restart ends. I would think the odds of this series being multi-season are slim to none being JP, but then how would they even end the series with episode 9 if the end is technically still open? And would they even be able to cover everything in 9 episodes?!
Solid chemistry, horrible plot. Unlike most of these cringeworthy vertical shorts the three main leads were actually good actors.
I think the most interesting part to me though was a lot of the background music had been used in Reset and the two male leads were in that series too lol
RISA IS A WHOLE SNAKE! She is the only sibling I feel zero empathy for. I bet she's behind Chet's mother's death and fudged the visitor record to implicate Peem. I need the two brothers to come together and take both her and daddy dearest out because what kind of father doesn't tell his son his mother passed?! So evil! Would be a nice plot twist if the person who called Chet's bodyguard with the news is revealed to have been Peem!
I suspect the intention behind this series is to buy more time to find a new Jin and/or to serve as a vehicle to introduce the new Jin since the character starred in Akina with Akin.
In any case, I'm just happy to get more Top Form! The teaser's visuals were insane!
I saw a post suggesting that if Disney writes off the expense of this show as a loss on their taxes that they…
Warner Bros did this last year with some movies and animated series and their financials at the time were worse than Disney's are now. Also, the costs of the projects they wrote off were surely far more than whatever stake Disney has in this series. With that said, it's a very rare practice and typically a last resort. In WB's case the company had been in the process of restructuring after a merger so it made sense for them, though they were largely crucified for setting a bad precedent in the industry with the write-offs. I think Disney is more likely to shop the series to a different entity who is willing to take the heat and complete the project or air it as is before entertaining a tax write-off.
The issue is bigger than Disney merely deciding whether or not to air as airing it would only make sense if they were to resume filming of part two. From what I understand both parts are necessary. Getting the ensemble back together to do just that is probably the more difficult battle in play right now and will likely be the deciding factor. And with that the question becomes, does the cast still even want to be associated with the series given the allegations?
