What I find kinda off about this, judging from the first minutes of episode 1, is the concept itself: a disease where people have "hearing loss" when it rains, I wonder why they make it so dramatic when deaf people from birth exist ? I get it that they tried to explain since the very first seconds that it is set in another kind of supernatural world, but to me it feels like it invalidates actual deaf people's struggles. At the same time it could be a way to actually represent deaf people's struggles in a different, creative manner but it doesn't come off as that to me. If they wanted to make it supernatural they could've made the protagonist someone who was born deaf but that as some point meets that one person who is the only one he can hear, without erasing the fact that except from that person he can't hear anything else and he can't change that. I'm also not sure why he can't speak when he can't hear, it would be normal for a deaf person, but for someone who can normally hear and learned how to talk, it wouldn't be a problem to try speaking even if he can't hear in a specific moment, but I guess it could be another "side-effect" of the disease. Anyways, not saying this is bad or anything, I'm just very critical about this stuff and it actually seems like a cool story beside the points I just made!!

Nah, I hope they know they are ruining a beautiful story thus missing the HUGE opportunity of producing a ground-breaking, wholesome, high-quality lgbtq+ drama that would have so much more success GLOBALLY, i know for a fact it would make crazy numbers, more than whatever they are trying to change it to.
