Interesting Taiwanese Sci-fi

I dont really understand why someone would give low ratings to this one. It's smart, it's lowkey and it's well written. It's not an "in your face" sci-fi thriller or psychological drama. Taiwanese dramas are known to have a unique subdued yet beautiful undertone to their storytelling, and it's the same with Futmalls.

The acting is fine, Taiwanese actors are way better than their Chinese counterparts who have no expression, no body movements and no acting skills in general. The story uses pre-existing tropes but the sci-fi element to them feels like a fresh breath of air.

I loved the fact that they did not reveal the whole reason why futmalls exists or what it actually is. I like the ambiguity, and the fear or anxiety it bring along with it. I hope they do not make it just another thriller or psych drama with too many explanations in the 2nd season.
