Plot and progression
I only got through ep1. The time travel aspect of the plot was what drew me in. I thought the first episode started out good, it gave us his background and his motivations. It introduced different involved characters on a surface level which I can only assume will be explored later in the episodes. But what made me drop this was finding out Thada sponsors rookie actors. I personally do not fw that kind of plot point. It's one of my blacklisted trope.
Pace/flow
I thought the pacing for ep1 was good. Things flowed accordingly leading up to his death and return.
Character(s) dynamic/development
There's not much to say about this since I only watched ep1, but I thought the dynamic between Armin and his friend was pretty neat. I assume something happened between them regarding fame that caused their rift and it was cool to see the before vs after fame relationship dynamic between the two. Armin and Thada didn't really have a on-screen relationship in ep1, so I don't know how well they fit together, but based on how Thada reacted during Armin's speech, I can say their dynamic may be pretty good, as there's a sense of possessiveness.
Acting
I don't know if it was good or bad, I really cannot be the judge because I'm no expert myself, but considering Armin's title as a renowned actor, the actual acting of Pond was kind of cringe. His reaction when he found out his lover was cheating was pretty bad. It made sort of laugh and recoil.
Overall enjoyment
I have a feeling I would have enjoyed this, if not for the blacklisted trope.
