Complex and Interesting Characters to Watch

First of I want to say that the complexity in the characters of this series is what captivated me the most. The psychology behind understanding the characters, their motives and character development was top-tier. This combined with an amazing delivery by the main cast sold it for me. The casting was great, especially Poom. His ability to act emotions and deliver them through his eyes is everything. He definitively gained a fan in me.

Ultimately it is a story of many grey characters, there are no villains as so many viewers like to define the characters by. They all suffer from faults, because they are human. There are no red flags or green flags, there are just human beings in this series, and we get to follow their travel through the series and how their connections and relationships develop. I think I liked and disliked all the characters at some points in the show. This is a complex adult series, not a comfort watch.

Secondly, were there some things that irked me and could have been a tiny bit better written out? Yes, but in no way did it take away my enjoyment of the show. That is personal preference and artistic choices made by the production crew. Having read the novel after, I think they did amazing in turning this into a TV series. The magic part of the show was very nicely integrated and I especially loved how they kept Poom to play Joe throughout even after the body swapping. I'm usually not one for this trope, but in this series I didn't mind it because it was not focused on to be the main part of the story although it was a big part of the plot.

I do think the series fell victim to the need to wrap everything up in a nice bow by the end, and made it less believable to me, but overall I choose to ignore the fact and focus on all the excellent things the series delivered. I have already re-watched it, and I will 100% re-watch it again very soon. Highly recommended.
