I finally had time to start watching Snowfall. I finished the first episode. It's fucking great.

It's so stylized, it feels like a fairy tale almost like the way The Wolf did. Except The Wolf felt like werewolves and beauty and the beast and Tarzan, whereas this feels like gothic horror and Winter Begonia. Cold, washed out with hints of red and yellow for warmth, a thug who tries to be kind but then chooses to be cruel, an immortal who was cursed into being one, a blind girl living the fairy tale horror of trapped in a mansion and feeling she should die to escape the torment and relieve her family because they've blamed their suffering on her. She saves the immortal while hoping she dies, and the immortal asks her not to die yet. The thug wants to kill the immortal but save the girl. The complexity and simplicity of being mortal and immortal. I love it.

#snowfall #lb #the only thing i dont like is if mi lans blindness is cured since...#it was depicted so well. like my friend. and in real life people dont miraculously get cured so i kind of Hate that trope in stories #(its my 1 hatred of yakuza 0 i wish makoto had been allowed to Stay Blind)#im still sort of hoping Mi Lan is blind for most of this show...#but i guess. since its fantasy with immortals and magic stones :/ if they are going to make her not blind #id rather they did it now immediately so at least i dont get my hopes up
