I want to love it. AI Fucks It Up!
Look for all intents and purposes, the show itself is incredible, the actors are doing a fantastic job, and I want nothing more than to just support it, and see it through to the end.
However, I can't do that despite absolutely loving the first two episodes; because on episode 3, that's where I was able to finally read the subtitle that disclosed the use of AI. CGI is a wonderful tool, the use of CGI employs humans, it allows artists to continue working. I looked online and there were comments about how it was for on set safety, so I assume they meant it was in regards to the fire scenes, but that is where CGI comes in. There we're also comments saying that it was used for cleanup and enhancements of effects . . . like the eyes and other supernatural things. Again, CGI is a perfect way to go, hell, practical effects are also a perfect way to go when it comes to eye color and transitions. AI is only used for expedition, and as a cheap alternative. It takes jobs away from artists, and is way too casually used in modern media, especially in recent Thai media. It's one thing to have a character mindlessly ask AI how to cheer up their boyfriend (which sucks by itself), but it's a completely different thing to actively be destroying the planet in order to make somebody's eyes turn blue, instead of hiring a real artist and giving somebody a job; all just to save some money.
I'm really disappointed in We TV. While I appreciate the actual disclaimer, considering we don't get those much, I will unfortunately be dropping the series.
