I am hooked into the series already with the first episode. I love the cast, the story, the action, the themes, and everything else setting up more to come.
Although the first third of the episode went on a slow start but not that slow, just enough to understand Jin's environment, the majority of the episode takes its delicate time to walk through his everyday life, his dreams, and goals before all is changed for Wei-chan shadowing as a foreign student.
This series so far is probably the closest any piece of media has told about high school drama more realistically than any other, successfully avoiding any over-exaggerated high school tropes that makes the audience cringe too much.
The ending fight scene was spectacular! I got Shang-Chi vibes from both the fight choreography and music. Maybe that has to do something with Destin Daniel Cretton's involvement. Genius at best!
