A Promising Start That Loses Its Way


The show kicks off with a strong and captivating start. The first episodes draw you in with their intensity and well-paced storytelling. However, as the series progresses, it begins to lose its focus, struggling under the weight of too many characters. This overcrowding leads to one of the most glaring issues: a lack of screen time for one of the supposed leads, Sun.

Sun's character, who should have been central to the story, ends up feeling like a side character. The audience is never truly given the opportunity to connect with her or explore her thoughts. Instead, she feels distant, like a passing object we can never quite reach. This is a significant missed opportunity, as her character had the potential to add depth and emotional resonance to the story.

The final episodes further exacerbate these issues. It becomes evident that the writers were unsure of how to conclude the story. The plot begins to meander, ultimately betraying the very nature of the characters we had come to know. Their actions and decisions in these final moments feel out of place, leaving the audience disconnected and unsatisfied.

In summary, while the show had a promising start with strong initial episodes, it ultimately falters under the weight of its own ambition. The lack of focus on key characters, particularly Sun, and a disappointing conclusion, prevent it from reaching its full potential.
