My Idol Was Watching Me

it would have been better with a few plot tweaks

Overall: several writing choices annoyed me. 30 short episodes (vertical series). Aired on GagaOOLala

Content Warnings: stalking, non con picture taking/sharing, manipulation, coercion

What I Liked
- visuals
- initial premise
- sweet moments
- initially a character said he wouldn't do a cliche

Room For Improvement
- cliche evil female character
- the police should have been called
- that a character listened to her
- the twist at the end was disappointing, he must have known how much stress the other guy was under
- the series didn't showcase their height difference like it could have

Kei was playing checkers, and Eito was playing football

Okay, this was an interesting one and very creative; I will give them that. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. Then I am going to say what I liked and what I did not like.

Okay, so starting off strong, I think the guys have pretty okay chemistry, and they have a crazy high difference (THAT WAS NOT USED, I AM SO MAD). But yeah, I think the guys did a pretty good job on this, and I feel like they were both cute, just different kinds of Japanese cute, which is nice. They did both have very long eyelashes that could have looked really good curled, but we’re not locked in like that. But yeah, I don't know, they were both pretty fun.

I think the whole plot with him being an ASMR streamer was a little bit weird, but you know that is okay (a boss and a babe-ass plot). As far as the plot, I liked the whole plot twist with the guy setting up their meeting and stuff. I just wish they had dwelled on that a little bit more. But yeah, pretty cute, pretty fun. I just feel like they did not really do enough with the plot they had.

I also like the whole thing with the girl because I did not think she was going to be a villain. I thought she was just going to be like, oh, this is his friend, who is also into this ASMR guy, but she was low-key like a crazy stalker, which was pretty fun to see, so good for them.

For the things I did not like, I think this was pretty short, and they had a lot of characters who all kind of sucked. Like we had the girl, we had the manager, we had our two main characters. I feel like nobody had any depth or background, which sucks because I feel like this could have been really good. Also, because it was a short drama, and this company specifically, which makes these short dramas, cuts it off at the 30th episode instead of going all the way to 35. Yeah, I do not think we need five episodes of behind-the-scenes. I feel like we could add a little bit more depth. I think just even one or two more episodes would have brought this to life really well, but they did not have those one or two episodes, so it is just kind of like, whatever, with what we have.

WHAT IS WITH THESE FUCKING SHOWS AND THE TURNAROUND CRINGE MOMENT. I BEG, CAN WE LEAVE THAT ALONE. I mean it's like funny but also so fucking cringe; I feel like I am gonna dieeee. Just stop, please.

Yeah, I do not know. I was not given a lot to work with, so I do not have a lot of feedback, but it was pretty good. I just wish they added more substance to it so I have more reason to actually care about everybody and develop the plot and all that. But yeah. Would I recommend this? I do not really know. Go watch it if you want, if you have already paid for it. If you have not, do not pay for this. Okay, bye!

feelings

- Điểm mình thích ở phim : chắc có lẽ là diễn xuất của nhân vật Kei, mình thấy diễn khá uci, kiểu ra đúng cái nét nhoi nhoi hài hài luôn í. Và cái tiếp theo mình thích ở phim nữa là làm về nội dung fan cuồng toxic, dù mô tuýp nó khá cũ nhưng có lẽ gu mình là mấy phim mô tuýp kiểu về idol rồi fan cuồng kiểu vậy. Kiểu nó khai thác được 1 trong những mặt tối của fan cuồng như thế nào

- Điểm mình nghĩ phim cần cải thiện :
+ Diễn xuất của nhân vật Tenya, mình chưa thực sự cảm nhận được sự tự nhiên và thoải mái của nhân vật Tenya này
+ Ở đoạn quản lý cấm Kei với Tenya qua lại, nhưng sau khi xem xong live của Tenya thì đổi ý, mình nghĩ nó hơi thiếu logic ở khúc này
+ Xem phim nhưng mình chỉ cảm giác được tình cảm theo kiểu fan với idol, chứ mình chưa cảm thụ được tình cảm yêu đương của hai nhân vật
+ Đoạn tỏ tình, mình hơi khó chịu với cách tỏ tình của Tenya, nó giống hâm doạ để Kei đồng ý hơn là lời tỏ tình chân thành, với nó bị viễn vong quá đà nữa, nên khúc này làm mình cảm giác tình cảm của hai nó cứ không chân thật, không thực tế kiểu gì ấy

*Lưu ý : đây chỉ là cảm nhận của cá nhân mình sau khi xem phim xong, mong bạn đọc xong và xem nó theo hướng tích cực như lời góp ý, mình mong bạn sẽ tự xem phim và cảm nhận theo góc nhìn của bản thân bạn, vì mình tin rằng, mỗi người sẽ có một cách cảm thụ phim riêng nên không ai giống ai được, có người gu này và cũng có người gu kia
