Overall well- made but not without issues
I personally am of the opinion that Day shouldn’t have regained his eyesight bc, as some people have already pointed out, it not only doesn’t add anything to the story but actively takes away from it.
I was actually positively surprised when Day didn’t regain his sight when he received the first eye donation. It brought more weight and depth to the story bc before the surgery, even when he slowly started to get used to the situation with Morks help, Day still lived with the hope that one day he will become “normal” and will be able to see again.
The fact that the surgery didn’t work was an important story point and a huge milestone for Day’s character development. After that, Day needed to come to terms with the fact that his blindness will (most likely) remain permanent and that forced him to let go of the hope of regaining his previous way of living and forced him to accept a new one.
An end of something is simultaneously a beginning of something else and the story made a wonderful example of it. After the unsuccessful surgery Day slowly started actively dealing with the situation and ultimately embracing his new way of living. He started seeing himself as part of the society, albeit a bit different from most people, and he still wanted to participate in life as actively as other people do. This was a huge deal for his character development and he managed to do all that by the end of the series so why was it necessary for him to regain his sight? It wasn’t. It didn’t bring anything new to the table and actively undermined the message of the story, which I find quite sad tbh.
When it comes to the romance, I liked it overall but I wish they gave the characters a bit more time before Mork confessed. The whole relationship build-up felt a bit awkward bc at first it seemed like the both of them started to slowly like each other around the same time (kind of). We see Mork starting to become more aware of Day and the same could be said about Day ( the “goodnight” moment etc) but the show suddenly decided to blindside it’s audience with Days confession towards August. Still, till then I was still on board with it, even after Day told Mork that the latter wasn’t his type, but then they got together pretty quickly after that and it felt slightly off. The show should’ve given them about one or two more episodes to develop Days feelings more before he accepted Morks confession.
The break up felt quite forced too. It makes sense that Rungs death would weight heavily on Mork but if that was supposed to be a big deal and part of the break- up reason the story should’ve incorporated the plot point way sooner and not quite so randomly. The worst part of it all is that we don’t even get to see Mork getting to terms with the situation.
There is a 3 year time skip and suddenly we are supposed to believe that he has dealt with it now and therefore is super happy and heathy and ready for a new start. It doesn’t work like that though.
These issues need to be explained and dealt with properly - by actively showing the audience how a character gets over it. You can’t just invoke a time skip and announce that everything is in the past. It’s called “Show, don’t tell” and not the other way around for a reason. Overall the last two episodes were ridiculous but the rest was good and the topic was unique and important so I’m giving it a high rating.
