My Own Swordsman (2006)

silly fun

TLDR; It’s an old show with modern humor. Acting is really good, they use a lot of popular songs for that time, so it's also a throwback, and out of all the longer shows I've watched, I would rewatch this one the most. The ending especially when the actors do the final goodbye and you know that ain't acting anymore 😭. It left a little bittersweet ending that I usually feel at the end of a good show.

Story: It’s a pretty silly show, but there’s like a heartfelt moral of the story at the end of each episode; it kinda reminds me of the skits they do in the Spring Gala. It’s so unserious, and there’s a lot of fourth-wall breaking, and the way they do it is also very smart and comedic timing is golden.

Acting/Cast: This is really nitpicky but this is especially prevalent in the first half of the show where some of the characters are just not present/mentioned at all in the episodes, which granted there are a lot of main characters so I don't blame them. Acting is really good, although some acting choices seemed questionable to me at first, I got used to it by the end of the show. Each character has their own distinct way of acting, and I think it takes skill to do that.

Music: They use a lot of modern (for that time) music, and a lot of the actors know how to sing it's kinda surreal. Honestly, it was a bit of throwback to all the songs my parents used to play in the car LOL. There are some songs that are just renditions of popular songs but eh idm it. All the background music though seems to be original pieces, and those are enjoyable to listen to.

Rewatch value: For the number of episodes, it's a lot but I enjoyed each one. I don't particularly like rewatching long shows, but out of all the other lengthy ones I've watched, this one would probably be the one I'd most rewatch.
