My feeling is the development at the end of the ep is a little too abrupt and extreme. It felt out of place and…
I personally don't think it was abrupt tbh. It's been kinda hinted since episode 1 that Adachi has a lot of unresolved issues inside. Giving him the magic just kinda made him question his individuality even more. I kinda felt that the "presentation" was his breaking point hence the moral dilemma of not wanting to use the said power but also believing he needs said power. But yeah, at the end of the day, it at least showed these two's acting prowess. Hopefully the next episode will be a solid conclusion to the series.
Forced angst I can see how it can be a turn off. Like who needs useless drama to forward a dragged plot. But with…
Exactly. It's been foreshadowed since episode 1 that Adachi's been dealing with personal issues of his own. Giving him that magic, in a way, saved him but also ruined him. And that presentation was his breaking point. I honestly don't know how some people could perceive this as "forced angst". But to each their own I guess.
So based on 14 reviews on MDL, episode 11 reviews already has a 9.6 huh. :( I mean I'm certain no one really likes seeing angst but in this case, such a conflict was kinda expected in the long run. All that pent-up insecurity and self-hatred of Adachi would have to come out one way or another, especially given the circumstances he's in. In this case, the presentation was probably his breaking point. And the acting of both Akaso and Machida were spot on too. I just wished people watched the episode for what it is, instead of immediately being turned off because the episode is "angst personified".
I understand Adatchi desition but at the same time I'mm upset from him, why can he act like he is preaching, just…
You gotta understand Adachi's moral dilemma here. He's quite aware using his ability for his advantage is wrong. However, for a person like Adachi, having said power is like a security blanket for him. So despite not wanting to use his powers altogether, he also firmly believes he needs it for his own well-being.
I'm shocked, I can't believe it! I was only blinking and it was over, and I was very surprised from this episode…
I think the perfect resolution for this is Adachi accepting the powers as it is, and Kurosawa supporting him along the way. I'm hoping this is how it goes, I doubt Kurosawa will force Adachi into things so he'll lose his powers.
I'm honestly both scared and excited for tonight's episode. TT . TT Seven more hours guys (I watch on wetv) I honestly don't want this to end yet but we're almost there. :(
I feel you T_T I was thinking I'm probably too over the top but it was the same for me. I was really stressed…
Awwww fam. I know you don't see it, but here's a big warm hug for you. Cherry Magic's helped me so much with dealing with my anxiety so I get you on that aspect. This show, along with the characters and community, has been my happy pill for the past ten weeks and I wouldn't change them for anything in the world <3
You are not alone my friend. As the end is drawing nearer, I can't help but think about what I'd do without it…
I've been tearing up for minutes now reading other fans' sentiments with regards to my initial post. Everyone's been so nice and welcoming despite my overly-dramatic comments :'(
I agree with you, and it makes me sad already that we have less than 2 weeks until the show ends :( this is the…
I agree. It's like we're all strangers here, but seeing us all be giddy about a shared interest is kinda comforting in a way. I don't regret being part of this wholesome community we have here as I've enjoyed reading and sharing my own stories.
I'll miss it, such a weird drama it seemed but such a lovely story it became. We may move on to other places but…
2020 was a bad year for everyone, myself included. But this little gleam of hope in form of a drama saved me from so many harmful thoughts. As you mentioned, we may move on to other dramas in the future, but this, along with the friends we made in this wholesome community of ours, will forever stay in my heart. (I'm really sorry for sounding all mushy and corny, I can't help it ^^')
You are not alone my friend. As the end is drawing nearer, I can't help but think about what I'd do without it…
I don't know you people, but I just wanna say I love ya'll so much. Seeing people with similar stories like me, who struggle with mental health, find comfort in this drama gives me so much happiness. :)
