Actually pretty well done
Going into this I didn't really know what to expect. There was quite a bit of hype built around it when it first came out so I was quite excited to watch it.
The story is very interesting. It's new and I think they did a pretty good job in developing it. We get various characters, all with their own individual flaws and baggage. You come to despise the characters(which is not a bad thing at all obviously, especially when the characters are inherently bad people) as the story continues and we unpack this very complicated, layered story. When we are first introduced to the couple Tee and White I was so in love. And then when Tee's personality is given to us I was just hoping they wouldn't show any more romance between them cause I knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy it BUT they managed to use the romance to add more devastation which I thought was actually genius. It's not just a stupid romance in the midst of this disaster, but rather used as Tee's and White's worst fears and punishments.
The ending I thought was perfect. Like I was not expecting that at all and it suited the storyline I think.
The production was really well done. I don't know if I'm insane, but at the beginning of the drama the camera work takes on the 'found footage' style when we have super dramatic scenes like running in the woods and fighting/arguments. The camera shakes a lot and follows the actors in this almost rapid way that gives off the impression that it's not by a professional camera crew, that we as the audience just happen to be stumbling upon what's happening to these boys in the woods. And then as we go back to the past, and more of the story comes out we go back to that production and camera style we are used to and I thought that was a cool touch(if I registered that correctly).
They also really managed to give the drama this eerie, uncomfortable feel to it that I really liked. They really had me flitching away and genuinely scared.
I thought the acting was good, especially taking into account that most of them are very new actors. I was more impressed by how great they did in really dramatic scenes that need really good acting to pull off like in the last episode. Mio left a wonderful impression on me, I think he did an absolutely great job.
This was actually a pretty good watch, I really enjoyed it. i think they really did the plot justice.
