Kowloon Generic Romance #02 — Grabbing Women By the Head

April 12th, 2025

 

I think this may actually be too stupid for me.

Impressions:

Both the start and the end were really awful, in distinctly different ways. She gets called by a friend/client to deal with a sweatshop next door, and instead decides this random lady is going to be her new bestie. She invites her in, they have tea, and share their entire life stories, and then montage around. The holding pattern returns, the ED plays eventually, and then she goes to get a plastic surgery consult from the Joker, who spends a few minutes telling her that her crow's feet are fake because she literally has no past while rubbing her face and lips and making creepy faces.

We start with utter nonsense, which the show itself calls out as making no sense with I think them both repeatedly saying they've never met before and have no reason to suddenly be an intimate friendship sharing everything but their dental records, and end with gross creepiness. And along the way, our main character simply glides without a thought in her head except that she's sort of existentially confused about life, a little horny, and wants some fried chicken. I mean, I can sympathize with all three of those core emotions, but they don't make for a compelling character to be stuck staring at as she does incomprehensible things and is groped by weird men constantly grabbing her face. What say you, throbbing sky rhomboid? *throbs*
