i am crying at the first episode of a sign of affection… i am thankful for the positive and hopeful representation omg ;; the protag is deaf and wears hearing aids and i love that some scenes actually drop the sound so you can understand what she's experiencing ;;~~~;;

#my text #i tried to read a silent voice once but i did not finish it bc the portrayal of bullying felt too real and too cruel :'(#im so happy for a story that isn't about the character being bullied (although that kind of story also has an important place)#although after watching more episodes; the main guy is initiating physical contact waaaay too fast imo #but im giving it the benefit of the doubt bc its fantasy and i trust them to have it work out oTL #edit: finished it. completely won me over. amazing #what an incredibly sweet show that was ultimately about communication. fantastic and uplifting portrayal of hearing disability #i only wish there were slightly more dropping of the sound to show what she's actually experiencing bc i really liked those parts #but i also understand why they wouldn't want to focus on that or would want to use sound for effect and it's a valid choice
