Good developments.. ig

I seem to be getting more accustomed to the main cast's acting. As I had mentioned previously, the FL, Ace Craige, Dave and one of the girl friends (the one I assume is paired with Dave) are good but now others in the grp have become decent (maybe it's because I got used to it?). The plot is not lacking fundamentally, but I can't ignore some plot holes or the sudden and unnatural progression of events. The execution ofc is terrible but this ep was decent compared to the previous to in terms of making the viewer feel anxious or thrilled. I believe its cuz there were no unrealistic action sequences in this ep. The vibe was overall fine.. but the side characters are terrible.. Celine and Nicki are difficult to look at. Not in terms of look but their expression put me off every time they appear on screen. Man, I wish the entire series was animated like they did with flashback story. Things became interesting then, and that's when I realized how messed up it actually is. Isn't it terrifying, that there is someone among you, who holds the immortality formula and all of you trapped in this hell cause of them? If i were to judge how bad it is to experience that in terms of the previous two ep, I would have been like that's so silly but seeing the animated ver I felt the vibe for the first time ever. The bgm was good. It did its job well. Ofc the colour gradient they have been using is good. Overall, this was much better than the previous ones in terms of plot progression, bgm and most importantly in giving the thrill ( at least for a sec).

matsumoto reiyo earns most valuable performer title

MATSUMOTO REIYOOO ,SISTER YOLU REALL HY PULLED THROUGH IN THESE TWO EPISODES !!!I AM SO RPOID OF YOU YPI HAVE GROWN SO MUCH !she did really great though & these were important episodes for her as rinne ,with one complaint is that the first episode did not really high+light rinne’s connection to sawa in their troubled family dynamics. this episode is what i wanted to see from her like two months ago where she is given the opportunity to break+through & rescue herself through her intellectual strengths in really intense situations ;her first move being to save houtaro was nice 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ this specific episode was stronger than the first part[ last episode]the battle was over+loading so the moments we stop & talk had to mean something & it did. i think lachesis did only what she needed to do but i love the brief display of genuine worry for her sister clotho who is so easily provoked to go to the extreme to prove her might. both this comes after rinne finally agitates atropos & we finally say it out loud that atropos is like this because she wants what she rejects. the facade of being beyond humanity is fully dropped for our villains ,rinne FINALLY fucking enters the fight doing something useful ,spanner finally gets humbled which allows him to respect houtaro enough for this check+point to matter & the teacher had a great teacher moment. which will matter later . . . 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ this was a great episode to see how far they all habe come ,because this was a ROUGH journey for alot of them. i genuinely think they did really good wtih just some clunky thomgs here & there * hwo i think we could do better but i alwaus believe that so i won’t hold it against them. x–rex was very fun though & came at a perfect time. x–rex’s memory thing is a very novel spin on the character but it also benefited houtaro az lot ,x–rex can believe in him through coming into his mind & seeing his purest truest nature that is beautiful.

a power couple!

what an epic fight scene! our ml and fl make such a power couple. too bad their win was followed up with the very predictable death of mr. bei. it's a sad scene, and cheng lei does well conveying his character's pain, but it would've been more poignant if it wasn't so obvious from the beginning who the body was

Episode 2 really impressed me with how well everything is coming together..

The storytelling is seamless, and I love how perfectly connected each scene feels as the plot unfolds. We’re also starting to see some great character moments. One character in particular is such a standout; she is incredibly funny and has an amazing screen presence. I found my eyes glued to her because she isn't just attractive, she is genuinely talented and great at what she does! It’s refreshing to see such a natural, 'cringe-free' performance in a story that keeps me guessing.

The first episode sets the tone perfectly

The opening scene feels so new and unique, immediately pulling you into the story. It kicks off with an action sequence that is not only thrilling but genuinely fun to watch.

this ep was infuriating - OMG but i wanna pay someone to break Phu's knee caps & seeing his grandmother hail & hearty made me detest her even more then i do her grandson. i could care less for the jovial nonsense with all those old f*cker that r in her friend group. seriously, what is Phu's damage?!? he can answer Dina's call, but can't give a sh*t to even text Nan back?!??? like make it make sense... *****************************************************************************************************************& why is Nan even following him??? after the way Phu has treated him not once but twice - why run after him??? why not cut ur losses & say this time i aint waiting a sec, let alone a decade?!?? heck i would look for a new apartment, a new job & wont look back, not after the way Phu broke Nan's heart. sorry but, after breaking down & weeping the way Nan did, he still wants to be around Phu???? *********************************************************************************************************************** sadly Nan is an enabler & he lets people walk all over him, if he can't stand-up to Man (in his work place) how he gonna do so in his personal life?!? pity - wish someone would let him know that he deserves better, alas even if there was a character that told him this - he wouldn't believe it, cause in his eyes Phu is the one slumming being his bff - not the other way around. idk why he got such low self esteem, depressing to watch how everyone pushing him around & he is letting them

r u f*cking kidding me? so it was just cowardice?!?…

r u f*cking kidding me? so it was just cowardice?!? he hurt Nan just cause he couldn't suffer being in a unrequited love??? cause that is what it amounts too. he ghosted someone he knew loved him (just in a platonic way - so i guess it doesn't count) all cause he couldn't be around him & suffer all alone?!?? so he ghosted him & watched from a far as Nan ran around like a madman wondering what he did wrong, searching Thailand & freakin Australia for Phu... also suffering!!! the worse part, he knew that Nan was in pain, cause even without witnessing 1st hand Nan, looking for him he read all the emails Nan sent into the void - in the hopes his bff would read them & contact him. OMG Nan is justified in his anger - i wouldn't decked him without a 2nd thought. ******************************************************************************************************************************Phu doesn't deserve Nan & it's sad that Party that genuinely cares is gonna never get a chance, cause sadly Nan does have romantic feelings for Phu ugh

Romance, bromance and uncle’s unconditional love

This was a nice feel good series. No ultimate villain, no makjang level scenarios. You’ll fall in love with the town and the community. Even her mom who I initially thought was selfish and conceited wasn’t. For the initial setup for the dad backstory I thought it would play as a big turning point but it turned out he was just a side character whose main purpose was the chicken soup.

Action

Action plus a little spice is what made this episode so good! All the pieces of the puzzlecame together nicely and I loved it! The climax at the end was so good.

Blast from the past

I just recently watched Tokyo water police and stingers. I couldn’t believe the assistant is the head in stingers. The chief in Tokyo water police looks the same.

Party is such a green flag, i feel so bad…

Party is such a green flag, i feel so bad that he gonna end up alone (even though not 100% sure he is interested in Nan in a romantic way) but i love him so much for standing up for him, helping him - let alone putting Phu in his place when he said 'he & Nan know each other for 30yrs...' loved that Party deducted the 10yrs, where Phu ghosted Nan. that was a well deserved barb! & Nan never gonna get catty, so someone needed to do it. **************************************************************************also get from the conversation between Phu & his grandmother (& her buds) that there is more to his disappearance then kissing a drunk Nan or the end of the promise made to his father. still - until i hear the reason - can't warm up to him & don't think he is worthy of Nan - who is a sweetheart! ************************************************************************************btw Nan is a bit of a pushover & i don't get him not standing up for himself at work, let alone letting that asshat Man goad him into anything & somehow that joke of a human succeeds in pushing Nan into doing his bidding every time - like why

An amazing and very fresh start! Lee Eun Ho…

An amazing and very fresh start! Lee Eun Ho seems like such a fun and cheerful person and I'm looking foward to get to know her character better. My only complaint this episode was that the start was a bit confusing. I'm so excited for this drama and I especially appreciate how short the episodes are compared to other dramas! Also the soundtrack sounds very promising!
