~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—Dr. Stone (the psychologist) welcomed us into his universe with a nice voiceover in the introductory scene: His outlook on life was intriguing, plus it was fascinating to see the various patients, from a man glued to his phone to an over-emotional woman collapsing on the floor during consultation.
The way each patient was ushered into Dr. Stone’s office was innovatively executed with one story transitioning into another
—Nothing to say about the acting, we hail all the actors 🙌🏾
—Make-up and costume design adequately captured each character’s personality and the lighting was well controlled to create a somber and quiet atmosphere in the office
—Dr. Stone (Bimbo Manuel) was a man of few words externally but had quite to say internally. As his patients did most of the talking during consultations, they questioned family values and friendship loyalty; making us reflect as a result.
The ending was creative as the writer led us to put all the pieces together. We actually had to rewind 3-4 times just to understand how everything was intertwined

Bland
—The audio suffered a bit; some of the lines delivered were barely audible, making it difficult to completely follow the story
—Camera movements could have been better enhanced to trigger suspense and curiosity
