sharing the pain and joy
Overall: a slice of life that touched on several real world issues. For some reason it didn't hook me the same way other slice of life series have. Based on a manga which I haven't read and am reviewing the series based on its own merits. Airing on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/6550/life-in-smokey-blue-2026-e01 (not in Taiwan, Japan or Korea) as well as FOD and TVer (Japan)
Content Warning: drugging, mental health struggles, death, grief
What I Liked
- characters who weren't in high school or college
- that 1 character went for it in the present
- the caring moments that were shown
- production value
Room For Improvement
- I couldn't get behind the romance due to multiple dead fish lip presses and one character seemingly disinterested/less interested until the end of episode 9
