no stress quiet fluff with a serious topic
This is no stress quiet fluff with a serious topic.
The age regression stuff was quite worrying when seen in the trailer, but they managed to pull it off really well. I usually don’t like kids in shows but the three girls actually cracked me up all the time!
The show deals with deep and serious topics in a light and colourful atmosphere, which can sometimes be confusing, but is also calming.
It’s interesting to see mental issues being addressed, directly (with Sun) and also as a side topic (with Jee’s OCD). It also deals with the importance of asking for help and the hardship of taking care of loved ones,... So every aspect of mental health issue system is addressed EXCEPT, the professional circle, which is quickly addressed at the beginning but more as a gag than really real help. And that is imo something the show missed, although I do understand that choice in terms of storyline.
Unfortunately, the show still manage to fall into the infinite pit of too easily forgiven moms. And that’s an objective statement. For Plobmek’s, but especially for Sun’s mom, its disappointing to me that a show supposedly dealing seriously with mental health conditions falls back down into overused shortcuts.
Santa is doing great at portraying a 7yo without being cringe (which is a refreshing change from P10L, ngl). He is really outdoing himself performing the switches and Perth is really looking extra good despite the weird outfits they’ve been given. Which by the way really throws me off every time.
