gorgeous setting
Overall: gorgeous visuals/costuming and a unique setting/plot. 8 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7095/journey-with-you-2026-e01 and episode 1 is available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl2tYmXaN6qtMaKOjmFzqWBPKIHuNaREV
Content Warnings: a ton of murders, suicide, torture, blood, violence, manipulation, coercion, drugging, I might be forgetting some more
Watch Suggestions (to take most content warnings out)
- skip episode 1
- episode 2 start at 15:30
- watch episodes 3, 4 and 5
- episode 6 end at 44 min
- episode 7 watch 42:30-end
- episode 8 watch beginning to 7:45, 10:50-17:50 and 48:25-end
What I Liked
- costuming/setting
- unique plot
- chemistry
- intimacy
Room For Improvement
- there were a ton of characters/plot introduced and it was a bit confusing, but I figured out the main characters/plot fairly quickly
- that mom looked like a sibling
- some characters were kind of stupid to believe other things, knowing how dangerous their situation was, the emperor was stupid since he seemed to have 7 sons (at least 2 of which had died) and also didn't seem to realize how dangerous his situation was (the prince accurately called this out in episode 7)
- the writers could have been a bit more clear at the end of episode 8 (spoiler for the ending in my comment)
