Hoshi to Remon no Heya (2021)

Sad, creepy, odd, depressing... with a slight glimmer of light, but not really

This was probably one of the saddest and creepiest things I have ever watched. Leaving me with a sense of what did I just watch. Being different then anything I have ever seen, and I think I have seen quite a bit of different types of content, but this was definitely something new for me. It is well done, and it left me with a whole lot of questions, and a spinning head while still being oddly relatable. The living can be scary, phone calls are scary too... So if you have 42 minutes to spare and feel like watching something a tad different that will make you go what... this is definitely worth your time. I may come back and write again once I have processed this but right now my head is spinning trying to understand what I have seen.

“I hope you don’t forget that giving up decisively also counts as courage”

This drama is so raw, painful yet hopeful. It didn't just show the dark side but it also brought a ray of light. I cried so much while watching this to the point my heart aches. Everyone has their own reasons and situations why they ended up shutting themselves. It's perceived as something negative and shameful by other people, but there's still some parents who understands and accepts the way you are. It may not be a clear understanding and immediate acceptance, but at least they know you're feeling safe from the outside world and other people that scares you. It doesn't matter as long as you're alive and breathing. The only connection and communication you have to the world is the internet and getting comfort by finding strangers similar to you. But at the end, we can't stay like that forever and rely on someone else. The time will come when your ideal peace will be over. You need to grow, go outside the world, face your reality and embrace yourself. It may take a lot of time but it will eventually come. It might be too late to realize and act, but you will need to stand up for yourself and speak your mind before your regrets gets heavier. There are a lot of ways, you will find more things to love along it and it will give you reasons to continue to live. The bright stars in the dark sky are countless. Don't waste any other chances. You will be fine.

I'm glad I watched this short SP drama. It gave me a slap of reality and a sense of relief. We are all different yet the same, with different paths and paces in our lives but breathing the same air and living in this world.

PS. The title is a line from the song "Burn It" by Agust D.
