A very soothing, gentle and sad "science fiction" drama. Like a mild version of Black Mirror, each episode has a theme, but it's not about science fiction, but about old topics in ordinary life under certain possibilities brought about by technology. There are traces of modern technological aesthetics, and the settings with the aesthetics of the mechanical age (such as thick cables, iron robots, and tall devices like factory chimneys) are slowly told with a certain nostalgic and sad atmosphere, so although the themes are all Those that we are familiar with, the pursuit of answers through time, the replacement of identity and life, the stagnation or passage of time, life and death... all have the color of ancient fables and fairy tales because of this atmosphere.

After reading a lot of short reviews, they are almost two-sided, either they are particularly interesting, or they can't bear it in one episode. I feel that it is not the question of who is high and who is low, who understands who is blind, the key lies in the word "temperament". It's like falling in love, some people like to be quiet, some people like to talk freely; the same person, for some people, it is dull and boring, and for some people, there will be a kind of irresistible. The attractiveness of speech is revealed in his dress, expression, and voice. This drama belongs to such a "person", and its rhythm, music, tone, makeup, etc. constitute a "temperament" that only attracts certain people. To put it bluntly, radishes and vegetables have their own love. It’s just that when we inexplicably like a person, we don’t want others to share this feeling, and would rather enjoy it alone; if we switch to movies, TV books, etc., we hope that others will recognize our own vision and taste, and then rise to the level of good and bad. The derogation is actually unnecessary.
