I've yet to see her in anything else since I only watched TSOM last december, but she was amazing in it! This past week I was reading the manga (manwha?) for the first time bc I got back in my feels about the show and I found it to be really good as well! I can now see the show adapted the source material really well. But ughhhh, that show made me cry. Not even out of sadness, but in a 'I love humanity' kind of way.

Also, I'm a big fan of The Sound of Magic and all I can think of is the concept they have in that story of the 'asphalt road' (and how they need to get OFF of it asap!). Anyone else who gets what I mean?

I'm gonna pop into the show's universe, collect all those kids and put them in a phychiatric ward under a 72 hour suicide watch bc YIKES. Also, send all those moms to jail for neglect and/or verbal/emotional abuse. It's over, I'm their mom now.

It was until it wasn't! This show isn't bad, but Hometown Cha Cha Cha is better!

Agreed! Feel like a lot of people might defend it with the 'life is like that sometimes' argument but past tragedies, a dad stabbing his teenage daughter and a sweet old lady getting brutally murdered (+ the 'let's blame the nearest neurodivergent person' trope, which I hate) were a bit much for me personally. FL came here to get away from her own struggles and somehow landed in the most tragedy-prone town she possibly could've and also ended up low-key adopting two teenagers. Doesn't really leave much room for relaxing/healing, I feel!

I have to say that although I really enjoyed some elements of this show, I really disliked how dark it got near the end there. It was Hometown Cha Cha Cha vibes until it turned into a full on thriller, and I personally didn't care for that. Not quite what was advertised on the tin!

The misogyny in the first part of this review is, frankly, astounding.
