Pumpkin Time (2021)

Film tout mignon et poétique qui aborde mine de rien le thème de l'identité sexuelle.

Ce thème, certainement très tabou dans les dramas, est évoqué de façon légère (fantaisie d'une fée) sans aborder donc les aspects plus douloureux (transition, changement d'identité légale, aspects médicaux, etc.).

Utiliser une romance scolaire pour aborder le thème, peut sembler superficiel, mais c'est aussi intelligent, bien construit, et mène logiquement à la morale de la série : c'est la personne que tu aimes qui comptes pas son sexe ou son genre.

Remarque : On n'échappe tout de même pas au personnage insupportable (cliché récurrent) des dramas romantiques : l'ami(e) amoureux(se) à sens unique, qui s'entête et revendique son lover comme un objet, un dû. Le "si je t'aime, tu m'appartiens" m'agace profondément. :)

Le format est très court (ensemble visible en moins de 2h) et vous donnera votre dose de douceur pour la soirée <3 <3

Sweet and simple

This was just like a nice piece of candy, some drama but not to much and a very simplified way of showing the struggles of trans girls trying to live in stealth... Without showing the whole messy process of actually transitioning...

At first I felt that it was a tad problematic but seeing how the story progressed I could put my mind at ease and just see it as a way to convey some of the common fears many of these girls may have. All put in the form of a really sweet high school rom com, with friendships, love triangle and all... without the drama taking over.

I loved the main lead, she was such a sweetheart, and probably broke some stereotypes.

I love the fairy, I honestly wish every trans girl or person struggling had a fairy of their own... He was just cute and sweet as a button (very handsome too) .

The cousin and friendships where just sweet as candy and well so was the mom, not to mention that older sister... The male lead is not bad either... But is actually not the main attraction of this show.

Also, never, ever, ever, out someone! Just do not do it!

Not a masterpiece but definitely extremely easy to binge, only lovable characters and did I mention it was sweet?
