Flawless and a surprise package

When thinking about how I should rate this show, I couldn't find a single fault and had to go with a 10.

Definitely Not Today might seem like a depressing story or some kind of typical romance drama. It is neither. The way dark issues are tackled is a breath of fresh air!

Mi Chong is a young 29 year old male who has lost all of his family. Being alone in this world and trying to deal with grief has sunk him into depression. One day, as he is about to commit suicide by drowning, he sees a girl jump off a bridge into the same body of water. He gives up his plan to die in order to rescue her thus beginning their strange journey. Zhi Liao is an angry young woman who has surrounded herself with a dangerous gang of men which gets her in trouble. She inadvertently ends up having no where to go but to stick with her saviour, Mi Chong, for safety while maintaining her brash attitude unbeknownst to her that her presence is getting in the way of his plans of dying.

The way this show tackles dark topics like suicide, sexual assault and still manages to bring in light elements and comedic moments is invigorating. With just 20 mins, each episode wins your heart and surprises you. The pace of the show is good and there is never a dull moment. Every instant teaches you more about why these two characters are the way they are.

I also enjoyed the inner monologues and the little scribbly animations brought a cute element to the show. The OST is nice. The show has an indie vibe to it with muted tones.

With only 8 episodes, this series is worth a shot. You won't regret investing your time!
