It is really a small and fresh sci-fi film, warm and melancholy, and it is a tragedy that is not cured at all. After watching it for a long time, I can't get out of Jacob's experience in the second episode.
Each episode has a story and links to each other, validating the word "ring".
Throughout the whole play, the most miserable person is the heroine. She is independent, sensible, and strong, but her mother disappeared mysteriously since she was a child. Work places to find answers.
After starting a family, they had two sons. The eldest son, Jacob, had excellent grades and was shy. He was supposed to have a bright future, but he swapped bodies with a robot due to an accident. The forest will never come back.
The younger son Carl is smart, cute and sensible, but he crossed the river of time to save his brother Jacob, who became a robot, and finally got lost and stayed in time. Although it was only a blink of an eye, when he returned home again, he loved him. Grandma and father have passed away, and his mother and heroine is a white-haired lonely old man.
Because her mother was addicted to work, she couldn't extricate herself and ignored her. Her wish from a young age was to be a good mother when she grew up, and she would always be with her children.
The last episode went straight to tears, and little Carl looked at his mother's old face and said "it's not fair". But human beings always try to fight against time in various ways, but time is always the big boss behind the scenes, and no one can beat it.
I especially like the composition and color grading of this show. I always have to press the pause button to take screenshots when I’m watching. The pace is slow, and Yoyo tells you their stories. Well made, each character's character is well portrayed.
Looking forward to every subsequent season of The Ring.
