There is Funny in this show, and for the most part, that Funny even landed well, for me.
I feel that perhaps marketing this show as a rom-com may have been a disservice.ĭon’t get me wrong. Typically, I tend to dive pretty quickly into characters and relationships in my reviews, but this show – more than in any other show in recent memory – serves up so much finesse on a macro level that I just want to talk about all that good stuff right away. Here’s the OST album, in case you’d like to listen to it while you read the review. Coz with the right lens on, there is so much to love in this show. I mean, the choice of viewing lens is always important, but it hit me that with this show, that choice of viewing lens is maybe even more important than usual. Essentially, that the viewing lens we choose can make or break a watch, pretty much. If you’ve known me for a while, or poked around the blog a bit, you’d probably have heard me talk about the importance of the viewing lens, (maybe more than) a little bit. Not perfect, to be sure, but so worth the watch. Empathetic writing, tender directing, and some outstandingly dig-deep acting come together to bring out the beauty inherent in the melancholy, and it’s quite remarkable to behold.Ī deft comic hand to manage the broad comedic elements, a solid supporting cast, and a gorgeous OST round out this show’s appeal. More than – and therefore possibly mis-marketed as – a typical rom-com, this show possesses a sensitive, thoughtful core that tends to lean melancholic.
