Goodbye, My Brothers (2025)

One of the better vertical series I've watched.

English voice-over may have made it better or worse, I'm not sure.

This would have been a good series if it had been longer and we had to sit with the betrayal. Xing was bullied by a fake and punished and neglected by her family for two years, but it didn't feel that way. It also didn't feel like they all had 12 years of loving each other because they turned on Xing so quickly. How could they believe someone they just met over someone they raised? Then their feelings suddenly flip on a dime again once they realise they forgot her birthday? It just didn't feel believable.

This is one of the reasons I don't like vertical series. This was a good plot; it just needed more time to flesh out the characters and make their actions make sense.

You're also telling me that this family never once looked at their camera footage in 2 years? Their cameras were also all perfectly placed to catch almost every evil act as well.

They wait for 30 years for her to wake up, only to have her pretend not to remember them. I mean, they kind of deserve it, but also they waited for 30 YEARS. I felt only a little bad for them.
