Inocente (2021)

Such a great concept

I had to sit with the ending for a bit. You know I loved this concept so much and the actors did such a spectacular job, and I wanted to love this series more than I did.

The concept of a love affair with a person with DID is so fraught with ethical potholes and for the most part this series navigated them well. The actor who played Noah and Yu Shi didn't overact it and the character of Wu Zheng is open and loving in a very fresh way.

The parts I did not love about it were largely just... Editing and post production. Weird formatting, unclear time skips and flashbacks, mediocre music. They had such amazing raw material but sort of pasted it together haphazardly.

And the ending was less fulfilling than I'd have liked for this reason, but also because they sort of imply being loved is a "cure" for DID and that's not at all where I hoped it would go. Just let people with mental illness have things without implying that it's only worthwhile if the mental illness is cured.

First of all I want to say that I really fell in love with the soundtrack, like falling in love at first hearing lol

With a very interesting music and (of course) a brilliant themes, this series absolutely become one of my favorite series of this year.

But for me It's really a shame, it actually could be more explored and extended the story. Somehow I feel something missing :(

In Indonesian:
Pertama-tama saya mau bilang kalau saya sungguh jatuh cinta dengan soundtracknya, seperti jatuh cinta pada pendengaran pertama lol

Dengan musik yang menarik dan tema yang briliiant, tentu saja series ini menjadi salah satu serial yang masuk jajaran favorit saya tahun ini.

Sayang saja, kalau dapat digali dan diperpanjang kisahnya. Series ini mungkin bisa jadi salah satu series terbaik. Entah kenapa saya masih merasa ada yang kurang :(

Happy I watched it

Okay yes it has flaws and the DID resolution is a medical fantasy.. But who cares? The acting is amazing, the story original and it has stuck in my heart and head for some time. Do yourself a favor. Just watch it and make your own judgement.
Both of the leads give subtle performances in what could have been a bad gay version of the Three Faces of Eve. Not the typical Thai BL factory produced fare. There is real heart here. I would love to see this series continue, if only to explain the second couple who have 2 minutes of screen time. And watch the lead couples journey going forward.

Original and intriguing

I really liked the originality in the plot, it's not this usual to watch a character with mental struggles, especially with DID.

Wu Zheng is perfect ♡ he falls in love with Yu Shi, wants to help him and tries to understand both personalities, not running away from Noah for example but accepting him too and trying to befriend him.

It's a shame this has only 4 short episodes: it could have developed very well, and I could never stop watching them being happy and in love ♡

In episode 4 it was difficult to distinguish the different timelines, but at the end you understand the whole plot.

I'll rewatch this for sure: it's very short and the actors have a GREAT chemistry. Also, some lines will stay in my heart forever ♡

beautiful series

the series was short but even so it was a really cute and loving one. both of the male leads interactions with each other were cute & at times sexy with the intimate part which made me gasp. the story itself was a interesting one especially with the bipolarness and i loved how they worked through it.

if your looking for a short bl series with a little bit of intimacy then this would definitely be the go to. it’s both sweet, heartwarming and hot all at the same time.

both actor’s really did a good job playing there character, this is the kind of bl’s i love to watch.

Need...More

I usually don't write reviews for shows so short, but I couldn't help myself this time. Do not be swayed by the shortness of the episodes. It's all worth it. Obviously, longer eps would be so much more amazing and I need a S2 like yesterday! lol This is definitely a story I haven't seen before. I'm obsessed with things like emotional trauma of the brain so this was right up my alley with the split personality theme. As short as the series was, it was pretty well paced and everything had a reason to be there. I'm hoping for a S2 due to the "other characters" but we'll see. Until then.... Enjoy!

P.S. Wu Zheng's awful shirts gave me anxiety lol

Interesting plot but insufficient development

The story itself is an honourable effort put up to try a different storyline that talks about dissociative identity disorder that is not well-known (revolving around the topic of mental health).

The storyline did cover some elements about the main role seeking help about this mental issues which I think is quite assuring, however the portrayal of the dissociative identity disorder is somewhat lacking.

At the start, the story did distinguish the two different personalities of Noah and Yu Shi through the different reactions when interacting with the other main lead. However, towards the end, it became hard to identify whether the main lead is Noah and Yu Shi, as the phasing out between Noah and Yu Shi is unclear and not well portrayed. The transition between the different personalities could be done in a clearer and distinguishable way.

The story did add in some flashback to fill in the gap on what happened, however whilst the flashback is somewhat short, the flashback and reality is not well differentiated and this makes it hard for me to catch up on the story development.

The bed or kiss scenes between the main lead also seems to happen randomly and does not go well with the flow of the story.

That said, if you wish to watch this series, watch it at your own discretion.

Short but Well Told

I'm still not the best at writing reviews but I loved this little drama so much I decided to write one anyway..

This drama might have been short but they weren't "short" of anything in it.
The cast was perfectly chosen with the leads having chemistry that set my little soul on fire. Sometimes when things are short they tend to be lacking somewhere or another, but that wasn't the case with this BL. They managed to tell an amazing story, create in depth/precious characters and build tension within 4 short episodes.
Even the music was pretty and fit perfectly within the scenes.

I would recommend this short little BL to anyone who loves a drama that will make you feel every emotion within a short amount of time. You will not regret it.

LTR, self acceptance, mental health, poly?

Honestly, not sure what to make of this show. I liked it better than I thought i would. It was as dark as I expected but also not. Very happy ending, in an odd way it’s kind of a poly romance. There isn’t much plot, its high heat and the acting is decent. I’m tempted to say it was all over the place, but actually I think that was me, and the how it pretty cohesive. The youth of one of the personalities really kinda upset me.

Will I watch it again? Nope.

So I’m settling on a 5/10 (that’s what I gave Advance Bravely so.. it works, it’s kinda that category).

RECOMMENDED ONLY IF YOU DON’T MIND TRIGGERS.

It was ok - it had potential to be a really good series

Negative:

1. Less Episodes
2. Few Kisses (could be more - i liked the pair - so sad)
3. The two personalities bothered me of Zeng

Positive:

1. The Kissing of the Maincouple
2. The Maincouple
3. Acting
