opposing forces (watch suggestions)
Overall: I liked their dynamic, but the writing fell into cliches with a frustrating ending. 10 episodes about 25 minutes each. Aired on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/@%E8%B5%B4%E6%B5%B7KissOrKill and GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/8746/kiss-or-kill-2026-e01 (not in Japan or Korea)
Content Warnngs: past death, child trafficking mentioned, blood, past murders/violence/blood, held against will, beaten up, murders, blood, manipulation, torture, coerced sex (it's complicated)
Watch Suggestions (to take out most content warnings and focus more on the relationship)
- episode 1 watch 13-end
- episode 2 watch 3-6:30, 7:30-13:30, 14:30-end
- episode 3 watch 8-18, 19-20:30
- episode 4 watch 4:15-7:15, 13-15:30, 15:55-end
- episode 5 watch beginning-7:10, 14:45-19:20
- episode 6 watch 11:50-18:20
- episode 7 watch 3:15-4:30, 17-endep
- episode 8 watch beginning-10:20
- skip episode 9
- episode 10 watch 20-end
What I Liked
- tension
- fight sequences
- unique premise
Room For Improvement
- use of ai especially with the flashbacks it made me feel zero emotion
- needed more relationship development and less focus on illegal activities
- noble idiot trope
- poor communication
- the supposed good guy mass murdered a bunch of brainwashed teens???!!!
- nonsense in the finale and ambiguous ending (could have been a dream)
- too many flashbacks in the finale
- odd camera work (like close ups of 1 part of the body like an ear)
