Would have been good if not for the last episodes. Watch it.

Love everything until the last two episodes. Apparently loving someone means they are pitying them. Especially, if the recipient is blind because heaven forbids no one can love a blind person wholly and only due to via pity. That's the message of this show. This is where you know the writers of this show haven't spent enough time around people with disabilities. Yes, the folks with disabilities have an ailment that makes them not as able of those who don't have any - but at the end of the day - they are human just like the rest of us and do not take any and all acts of kindness and warmth as pity. By the end of episode 11 I was like, "Day, get over yourself. No one gives a sh*t that you are blind. Especially Mhok."

Would have been better if the ending was bitter sweet because Day did not deserve a happy ending - because he was the one constantly wanting to wallow in self pity. But nope - everyone else is at fault and everyone is always constantly pitying him, apparently. Suddenly a person (Mhok) who wants to spend most of his time and days with the people/person he loves because his own sister's suicide - is treating his love with pity (Day), because he can't possibly JUST want to spend his life with the person he loves so he has to be pitying Day - GTFO here with that nonsense. People make sacrifices all the time for the people they love. I'm at a point in my life (late 30s) where people around me are making the realizations and regrets that they sacrificed love, family, and friendships for careers and it was not worth it. Yet, here we have a character demanding and forcing his supposed "love" to leave him and convinces him that his love only stems from pity because "woe me - I am blind." They even made Mhok admit he was was indeed casting "pity" in episode 12. Take that garbage out of here. The writer of this show is severely pushing the agenda that love for people with disabilities only stems from pity (this is the hill I am dying on because at end the disability disappears).

Had high hopes. The last two episodes were not it. And they were definitely sending the wrong kind of message. As if Mhok was completely at fault and had made the mistakes. Not only that but in episode 12 they also add a fake out - yet around the same issue of "he don't really love me because he only feels sorry for me because I am blind." THEN to top it all off - they get a happy ending and there's no more pity because *SEVERE SARCASM COMING* Day's blindness is cured and thus, his love ain't pity but real. WTF. That is all I have to say.

I really really loved this show... until the last two episode. Made it very apparent that the writers used a disability as a f**king plot device rather explore the character as a real as possible character. After writing this review I had it as a 7/10 but no I have to lower it. Pity is just an excuse to be self-absorbed. And Day was milking that for all it's worth. I would have rather see Mhok get with someone else new, living a happy life (with a shit ton of babies because I am feeling super petty and hateful right now) and seeing Day see his lost (and they can and should keep Day with being a successful writer and book shop owner at the end too and he should still be blind - because being blind does not mean you cannot be successful... or overcome your challenges and to overcome blindness does not mean being able to see again) - that would have been more fitting.
