Kuragehime
This review may contain spoilers
A beautiful drama that I probably won't rewatch
The part WITHOUT spoilers:
It's beautiful but just too heavy - the series deeply influenced my mood for quite a while. This's the only reason I rated rewatch value so loe - it doesn't reflect show's quality. I fell in love with cinematography, the ost, the overall vibes.
I wish the series were longer - unpacking all this trauma and abuse could lead to more character development.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
My only beef with the show is tha fact that Haoren never apologised to Chihiro, although his face displayed regret when he saw Chihiro leaving the room crying. Since he gradually fell in love with Chihiro wouldn't it be only natural to try to make it up to him? Providing Chihiro with food and shelter after beating him up and dumping him on a pile of trash doesn't make him entitled to treating him like an actual trash. I understand that Haoren hasn't known better, but what his actions on episode 3 and him later blaming Chihiro for being a parasite are a serious character flag. He's just too mu h a red flag. Another missed opportunity is Chihiro not being able to develop a sense of self-esteem and self-love - I get why he's the way he's, I just wish the series were longer and showed him being able to stand up for himself and set boundaries.
Great show overall, acting was just impeccable.
