Question from a reader:
Is “Caster” a work that surpasses “VIVANT,” “Antihero,” and “Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea”? I’d be happy if someone could tell me.
Comparing Dramas: It’s Tough!
Recently, I was chatting with a friend about TV dramas, and the topic of “Caster” came up. He liked “VIVANT,” but mentioned that it dragged a bit in the second half,
and I felt similarly. It was interesting, but there were parts that lacked excitement.
Impression of “Caster”
I watched the first episode of “Caster,” but honestly, I gave up after 30 minutes. The pacing just didn’t resonate with me, and it didn’t match my personal taste. The initial setup felt a bit heavy, and I was disappointed by the lack of comedic elements I was hoping for. However, it might pick up in the second half, so I’m considering giving it another shot.
Comparing with Other Works
I finished “VIVANT,” but I strongly felt that the second half was really dragging. It seemed like the characters lost their charm, and the climax felt a bit unsatisfying. There were definitely interesting moments, but because my expectations were high, the disappointment was also strong. On the other hand, I’ve heard that “Antihero” is forgettable, but since I didn’t watch it from the beginning, I can’t really say much about it. The title is intriguing, though, so I might check it out if I feel like it. As for “Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea,” I gave up after the seventh episode. It felt like the pacing was too slow compared to my expectations. Maybe there are parts that resonate with others, but it just didn’t work for me.
In Conclusion
In the end, watching dramas really comes down to personal preference. I often discover new insights in conversations with friends, and just a change in perspective can lead to a completely different impression. So, I might give “Caster” another chance next time. What dramas do you all like? Also, I’d love to hear about any shows you’ve given up on. Sharing our thoughts can help us find better works to enjoy!
