Calm but Confusing

Okay. Let me talk about the good things first. The pace of the series, the acting, the dialogues, the camerawork, the sounds, the music- everything is unhurried, calm and relaxing. The interactions between Tiew and Mork are genuine, sincere and beautiful. There is a gentle undertone of suspense and mystery that is maintained nicely throughout the series. The surreal and dreamlike atmosphere matches perfectly with the unique story and plot.

But along with all of these great things, there is also a sense of confusion that accompanied me constantly- I was always wondering "What the heck is going on here?" And even though some of the confusion did get cleared as the series progressed, still I felt very uncomfortable due to the constant jumps in the timeline. I felt that the number of these jumps was way too much, and it contributed nothing towards enhancing the richness of the storytelling.

Another main source of confusion (and irritation) was the idea of having Mork and his twin love the same person, and moreover (as if this was not already bad enough) both going out to meet Tiew alternatively. I mean what were they trying to do? And what was the reason for having this absolutely unnecessary plot? Was there a need for a twin at all? The storyline was already quite creative, and slightly complicated too, because of the whole 99 day stuff, and adding the twins plot did not do it any good.

The conclusion? Well, the overall quality and feel of the series is quite good, despite the above mentioned issues. Even the ending is quite nice. So, even though I will not give it more than 7 stars, still I would say go ahead and watch this one- you might enjoy the rare feeling of unanxious calmness and completeness that this series emanates.
