I ugly cried so hard

This series is real. It explores all the ways humans simply are - and what makes them the way they are. The directing is almost self-aware: not quite fantasy, but taking on real elements of it and weaving the fairy tales in. I absolutely loved the directing and screenplay of this. The acting also did its job - not over the top, not lacking in any way; simply just conveying what needed to be conveyed.

I do tend to cry when I watch things, but this one got me in the feels on another level. Obviously it was picked to maximally convey such feelings (autistic brother, lack of parental presence, mental illness yada yada) but hey I can deal with a bit of unrealistic setting if you make it like a fairy tale :)

Wasted 9 hours of my life

I have zero clue what's to like here. Void, empty, full of cliches, and meaningless. The main girl is supposedly likeable because she's 'different' but as far as I can tell she's literally just your average girl. The romance isn't believable either. The whole love at first sight stuff is so tiring and I dislike it immensely. The main girl's whole thing is she's supposed to be 'so different' but there is nothing she does that's particularly out of the norm or unusual. The bit where he pretends to be her bf in front of their friends isn't too far off the vibe of the actual romance.

I found the directing was awful and over the top emoting (no doubt at the director's behest) extremely tacky.

Oh and lastly the entire show sometimes seems to me to be just one big product placement. The vit C spray thing, face stick, bomb shots...
