I just rewatched this for the first time since watching it in real time as it released before. Let me know if any of this requires a spoiler tag!
Firstly, I see a lot of hate for Ming, however as someone who enjoys toxicity in shows being done well, I enjoyed his character development and that he actually did truly bad, selfish things that would make the viewers uncomfortable but wanted to repent for his evil acts without doing a complete 180 in to a pure, unrecognisable personality. Although there were some plot gaps, Tong and Ming's family's being a caricature of a villain, characters being forgiven too easily and Joe making some questionnable decisions, the whole show captivated me from beginning to end. I really enjoyed the love that the old Joe received from everyone around him and earned after coming back in another body just by being himself and a good, but still flawed person. Poom did such an amazing job acting, I felt his every emotion, as well as his chemistry with Up. I kind of just wished to know a little bit more about the life of the Joe whose body was taken over by our Joe. Did his soul die? Did he go into another body? What was his life like as a model? Apart from Tharn, were there other people in his life that missed him?
I think the story and the whole production of this is worth watching if you want to immerse yourself into something less light hearted. Or just watch it for Poom, that's good too.
