I just wanna say that if you gave it very low rating because of admitted AI in few scenes, then you are being…
I respectfully disagree with you on that one. I didn't give this one a rating, only watched half of the first episode, but in that short time it had two sequences with AI. The problem is that once they have access to cheap AI visual effects, producers start using it "sloppily" -- pun intended. The gag with the centipede was an actual plot beat that they included just because they can. Like, let's have aliens land and blow up Tokyo, why not? The effects are free. So in that way, the AI starts having an obvious deleterious effect on the writing. And drama watchers are here for the writing. Like I said below, once you start allowing AI in your kdramas, you're on the slop slippery slope.
I was not so impressed with this drama that I'm going to see it all the way through to make a point, or as someone suggested below, watch the BTS footage to parse out what's AI and what's not. There are enough old good dramas and movies that I haven't seen that I literally don't need them to keep making new ones (with or without AI) to keep me busy for the rest of my life.
๐ค Would you be able to quickly tell CGI from AI?
Ai is just a way of easily dialing up generic CGI, so the main tell (aside from the disclaimer at the top of the episode) is that it's so cheap that they rely on it too much. Like the cheesy centipede gag.
Although the year has just started, one can bet on this drama to be on most people's favorite J-drama of the year…
Awesome. ใ็ฒใๆงใงใ. I will add the Theme Song, in case anyone wants to make it their ringtone, or maybe their wake-up alarm ๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udxttpvMeKc
This drama is a treat better than a banana split. Starts off slow in the first episode, but quickly revs up the lols and the feels. Brilliant writing and Sakura Ando is absolutely perfect for the lead; all the kid actors do great too. Ando is the undisputed world champion of giving people weird judgmental looks without saying anything, but you can tell exactly what she's thinking. The Queen of Stinkeye.
The plot is a super clever twist on the "time travel" trope with hilarious dialog. It's a Japanese "Groundhog Day," worthy of the comparison. I was hooked from the "Go To Hell" hoodie -- it's funny to think about whether the writer actually saw that shirt and it's the inspiration for the whole drama. ๐ค Great Japanese shows are rare, but when they're good, they're great. I will probably watch the whole thing again from the beginning when it's over. 10/10
