When adolescence is adulterated with superpowers, the whole drama gives people a mixed look and feel, and the feeling of four dissimilarities is a little heavier.
When I watched the first five episodes, I guessed that the so-called superpowers may be just a guise, but a concretization of complex emotions such as darkness, fear, anxiety, confusion, etc. deep in the heart of adolescents. Perhaps the screenwriter used a relatively fresh perspective. Reverse fiercely.
So I started to simply appreciate this "no plot to speak of" plot, the heroine's broken thoughts, sparsely populated towns, American high schools, and the dialogue with the hero... Sometimes their dialogue is illogical, just two things. Adolescent teenagers grumble each other, but you will be fascinated by it. I even started to envy the heroine. I envied her when she met a friend like the hero. You can spit out the majority of those in the school who are considered mainstream, and lie on the carpet and chat together. When you encounter problems, someone is excited about it. You explore everything.
And what is the situation of the heroine? It is a distinct image of adolescents, and not the kind recognized by the mainstream public. Such people are more likely to get on the screen because they face a difficult situation. The heroine's father committed suicide many years ago. He had a bad relationship with his mother and always quarreled with each other. Her own image was not bright enough, she did not have a charming appearance, and her personality was not cheerful enough, so she was always marginalized in school. The only thing that makes her happy is her girlfriend, but she also has an object, which leads to some neglect of her. To make matters worse, she gradually discovered that she might have more than just friends' emotions for her girlfriends...
If it just ends here, it may be an ordinary youth film, but it is still enough to attract a person who has no resistance to youth drama, such as me. It seems that just observing the heroine's words and deeds, talking to herself in the diary, getting along with friends, and dialogue with her younger brother can pull the audience back to their adolescence.
Until the last episode, there was an unexpected reversal. The boy who wanted to tell the secret of the heroine's superpower suddenly headshot under the idea of the heroine, blood sprayed on the heroine, and she walked in a dusty red dress. On the empty street, he hid in despair in a place where there was no one. This reversal is bloody enough and unexpected enough. Just like I always thought I was watching a youth drama, I didn't expect it to turn into a heavy taste drama, and then there is a trend to become a super power series similar to X-man.
This mixture is indeed a bit bad for emmm. In short, if you are interested in the youth type, then this single-episode drama with a length of more than 20 minutes may be a better leisure time pastime.
