When AI is taking over for flashbacks the whole atmosphere of the show changes. AI does not do emotions well, it makes it's bits disconnected from the show, it was made lifeless. While the flashbacks should invoke the feel of dread and sadness it did nothing for me. It was a terrible decision to use AI in this form. It could have been done far better, but I guess they didn't have the budget.

The "military" actor is quite unbelievable too, both would fit an university narrative so much better. So I guess at least the "military" man was the wrong choices for the this series. It does not mean he acts bad, it just means I imagine something different when I see a military man or mercenary. He looks like he did not even do the basic training in the military. Maybe it's one of the stereotypes I grow up with and it's too much ingrained in me. That may be the case, but for me it does not fit.

And that's where the problems lie with this series. They can act great, kiss great and have sensible nc-scenes, it still is ruined for me. The theatrical end of this show does not help either. I wish I could have seen both actors in something completely different. They have the talent, but I don't think they tapped in enough because the script was their cage. At least it was not an hour long drama which would have gotten on my nerves for sure :)

So for me this is one the CBLs that failed. One of the few. Production quality is ok, but not stellar, the AI ruins most of it. It's still not bad, but it's not good either, it's just average. Again, cute faces, hot nc-scenes don't tell a story and don't let me feel anything. So watch it or not, your choice.
