Ties That Bind.

I loved the concept and execution. I particularly liked that, like the threads, the story had a spine but also drifted along to the conclusion on it's own beat. The trauma felt was depicted with enough weight to be serious but also light enough to fit within the comedic aspect.

While Kai and Wei worked well together, I'm grateful it was not a romance that needed chemistry but connectivity. This it had in buckets. Just like the characters were not similar so to were the episodes and most resolved within each.

Grandma and Noanan were good people. Grandma wanting him to live his own life and Choanan, a wacky good friend. I was impressed that he never wanted to exploit Kai abilities.

The only thing that I would have changed would have been the kiss. Actually, I would have added another, showing where it was a real choice and not a lapse in judgement. Also, I needed Kai to smile more. A real cutie when he did.

Probably it's a culture thing but why couldn't Wei charge his father with assault with extortion and allowed it to continue. He was scared and traumatized but also a police officer. At some point he had to face it.

A decent watch.
