Phantom knight revealed and wrapping things up

It was good that Phantom Knight was a team effort. Lin realized that he was the dreamer wanting to write so she pretended she did not get the author option. It was funny that they used pure chance of who would continue. I like that the man child has finally grown up. He is sober and thoughtful and his better self. Whether they continue writing or not he will be a better person. Mei….she has been warped into a character that creates a dissonant note in their group. She walks to the beat of her own drum but is still deciding if that is progress or destruction. She has finally left both men behind but did it in the most hurtful way possible. I don’t even think it gave her satisfaction. It was simply her choice of how to end things with both realizing it is truly the end. No misunderstandings or hope for the future. She is the one who left to places unknown which is a good thing. She will hopefully just figure out who she is and not how she relates to men. When she finds her better self…maybe she will finally find love. GuYan learned via AI he is a villain😂🤣 He is actually rather intrigued by the notion. He has had his temper tantrum about Phantom Knight and he can move on to write anti hero stories.😂🤣San Mei is living her life without either of her old buddies. She is not sad but looking to the future. Dai is watching over her AI/author crop for the future. They have changed her to appear more dark in nature but this is simply what she sees as the most expedient means of writing in the future. Ling and Zhao actually stay married and learn to parent. She seems a bit softer now but waiting to see how Hellfire and Brimstone 2.0 turn out before deciding. 😝Cai has gone to Dingqi to join the human authors and has won an award. I am just glad she seems much more like a person than a fangirl and given much less screen time. She still kinda annoys me on sight. Her dad also hopes to show Lin more housing. He still is a better man than I gave him credit for. The convenience store owner is taking a trip with his son but will be returning. And as for Phantom knight…..the banner light is turned on so it seems like the partnership will continue. Would I recommend. This one…if I knew prior that it was not a fun second chance story…. I don’t know that I would watch it. However, once I was sucked into the story…I was compelled to watch it to the end no matter how pissed off or disgusted I was with them. I cannot say that it was entertaining as a whole but it definitely kept me curious to see how parts would end up. It diverted nicely from a very gray and black set of characters to the debate of AI and the arts. It gave an interesting perspective of that debate. And that I found worth watching.

interesting 1st ep, wanted to watch this a…

interesting 1st ep, wanted to watch this a while back (when it was airing) but i love binge watching shows, so waited... life got in the way & forgot about this. then recently watched The WONDERfools cause of Park Eun Bin & recalled that this was among her dramas, that i wanted to watch & as this also a short series, thought what the hell - wasn't disappointed - she is a very talented actress. *********************************************************************************************************************v got a pair on himself when he came to ask Jung Se Ok to operate on him after what he did to her & even now he is threatening her. anyone normal wouldn't poke the tiger they were trying to get to do brain surgery on them. a lot could go "wrong" & no one would would blame her. if u come for a favor that wont just save ur life but not leave u with a handicap - why the pompous attitude?? didn't get that. he also wasn't apologetic or sorry for what he did to her - regardless of if it was justified or not - not when he needed her help. & given her short fuse i am shocked he lived to walk out of that house lol - was sure he would get the treatment the nurse got.

i can find merit in disgrace

nakama yukie really carries this show in it’s darkest scenes. I’ve only watched her work as yamaguchi but this role has spanned six years ，she was competent at the start but here she’s undeniably great. because this show has gotten redundant which i attribute to wantin to play it safe. keep it easily digestable ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ the second clash with goda i felt like even if they have a message they don’t know what they’re saying. i get the point but i don’t agree with how we get there. i felt like both goda & akagi didn’t get the nuance they deserved. i still stand by what i said about them disregarding the same kids just because they aren’t in yamaguchi’s class. we see his guilt but we don’t get to learn anything else about him. akagi also was just standard. what else is there to her ，possibly the one antagonistic character to truly challenge yamaguchi & ground her as a flawed human ？｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ with that being said i really wnjoyed this final speech ，the most in the etnire show probably. it really did pick up in the after+math of goda. i quite like ogata & kazama. i think they’re quite well+written & balanced perfectly. ogata falls closer to odagiri of the two but he still has the impulses & immaturity of his other mis+fit kids. kazama is naturally rowdy like him but he has a big heart that speaks to him & it’s just as great as a brain ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think this series is naturally flawed but it is a good time. it’sx sweet when you just leave it at face+value. i like this from a stan perspective & also through human eyes. it makes me miswreable sometimes bugt i wouldn’t refuse to rewatch it all over again.
