it's okay if you have some time to waste i guess
as someone whos job is literally to argue just being a little nitpicky because im just like that but when i heard 22-year-old in house lawyer i fucking laughed
i'd argue the premise of this show and what it aimed to cover would have been better covered in like a 10 episode scheduling than just these 5 episodes like i understand the concept and the vision but the execution kinda fell flat because the premise leads you to to think "youth get to have their own government and change the norms of the society! they are the leaders of tomorrow!! they are going to do such important work and make even greater impacts more than the shitty adults of the world could ever imagine!!!" and well they do i guess but not enough for this to be a banger: most of the conflict is centered on the ML and the FL-- which i have no idea what she did btw I didn't like the character for reasons i'll explain maybe maybe not -- and the side character prime ministers appear occasionally for some dialogue, some old people get salty they're going to get shafted and thats basically it??
i mean i guess you can say they touched on japanese generational divide of ideals and differences in thinking and problem solving which good for them yay great goo job but the show could have been way more they could have shown like even teenage government leaders can be susceptible to internal division and conflict and maybe even have more conflict with the AU?AO? government vs. the actual japanese government but nvm all that
SPOILER FOR EPS 4-5 DO NOT CLICK EXPAND IF U ARENT DONE YET
I have no idea what the show was trying to accomplish in episodes 4-5 the whole conflict with FL (forgot her name lol) and yuki they shouldn't have waited until that far into the story to detonate the conflict (since they only have 5 episodes to cover everything) -- honestly just seemed like typical overdone drama/fiction character has to reconcile with trauma of a lover/important person from the past trope to give the ML character development or just a tragic backstory to justify their actions or some shit the premise of the drama was solid enough for it not to have to pivot to romantic substories like yuki and FL but they did and now look what you have
