Threading the line between reality and fantasy!
wow, what a rollercoaster ride of a show. First of all, this show is hard to define by one genre. It has comedy, thriller, horror, coming-of-ages themes. The show is also patient with its storytelling and doesnt treat the viewer like a dumb child. The pilot episode is arguably one of the best i've seen, and it ends on a high note as well. The acting was a big stand-out in this show, especially by Tseng jing hua who absolutely nailed the character. Pu yi yong as a main character is sooo likable, yet complex, funny and caring. His relationship with Chu ying and Guang yan truly is the heart of the show. I also adored his mom and his scenes with his dad and grandpa.
I do think this is one of those shows where its better to go in blind and simple experience the show as it goes on, so I won't talk too much about the actual plot. I will say that the episodic format isnt my favorite, even though it pays of at the end, I wish we could spend more times with the overarching story. That really is my only complaint. This truly is a excellent show that truly took me by surprise, will end HIGH up on my year end list.
