UMG (2023)

Total Sci-Fi Goodness!

While a lot of comments seem to be dissatisfied with this show, I thought it was really fun! I think they could have done a bit more with Erng's newfound abilities and the mystery surrounding her before that was all explained, but on the whole this show was funny, heartfelt, full of sci-fi goodness, and just a really good time.

The acting was really solid, too! Nanon, of course, is a star and was able to affect me greatly with the most minute expressions. He was a great lead and brought a lot of charisma to a role that could have easily been insufferable. Namtan was a phenomenal actress as well, and really held her own against Nanon! Sing and Drake were funny sidekick characters (as per usual for them), but this show gave both of them a little extra when it came to their characters, allowing them to be more than just the funny best friends. It was really nice to see.

This show was fun and interesting, and honestly it was really different than most of the dramas I've seen. I had a really good time, and I would recommend this to just about anyone!

Unique, Interesting, & Charming

The lighting, music, & overall tone are my favorite aspects. This show feels neo retro and reminds me of a 80's or 90's reminiscence show. It kind of reminded me of the first season of Stranger Things in that sense (lighting and nostalgic tone).

I came into this show with little expectations, but was greatly surprised. The show seems like a simple alien show, but there's so much more to it. There's a huge focus on friendship, healthy relationships, and growth. I loved seeing Mew's and Errg's friendship, it was so beautiful (those foreheads touches were so endearing). Nannon is adorable and charming as always, even if his acting is lacking at times. The romance is great and for once the love triangle didn't totally infuriate me. It was handled in such a deeply emotional and mature way (plus some great chemistry).

The plot itself can be lacking, but there are many interesting and unique plot points along with some twists I totally didn't expect. It's a very cute story with aliens/supernatural elements and youthful relationships.
