Great but never dares to go all the way
Okay so it leans into emotional realism more than flashy romance, centering on the quiet exhaustion that comes from work, expectations, and unresolved feelings.
The series does a solid job portraying burnout not as a dramatic breakdown, but as a slow, heavy fatigue that affects relationships and self-worth, which makes the characters feel painfully relatable. While the pacing can feel slow at times, it fits the story’s reflective tone and allows the emotional moments to breathe. The chemistry is subtle rather than explosive, relying more on shared silences and small gestures than grand romantic scenes.
One thing that I don't get it like it wants to be brave. The show hints at bold ideas about modern labor, automation, and emotional detachment through tech, but it never really digs deep into the ethical or social weight of AI... it mostly stays symbolic rather than critical.. The show plays it safe by softening the consequences and resolving conflicts too neatly, which undercuts the rawness it’s aiming for. So while it looks courageous on the surface for tackling burnout and vulnerability, it doesn’t quite push far enough to be truly uncomfortable or transformative. It ends up feeling cautious rather than bold—well-intentioned, sincere, but ultimately not as daring as it pretends to be.
Anyway it is a thoughtful, mature show that may not be for viewers looking for high drama, but it resonates deeply if you appreciate introspective storytelling and emotionally grounded narratives.
