Drama Digest
Juno (Hani), a popular video game streamer, sees her reputation plummet after someone makes disparaging remarks about her past. Juno, in particular, has assumed the persona of someone else from her school. Juno participates in game IOM2 in an attempt to regain her popularity. The player must overcome prior trauma in order to progress in the game.
The Feel-Good Part
We see Juno’s classmate comment on her Live stream, a suicide rumour, at the start of the show. Juno feels it’s all a fraud, and she has to go through numerous phases of terror before she can play the game. We witness her past in these stages. The same school, the same children, and the same terrifying setting. It was terrifying to see students transform into crows. The Crow reference was fantastic.
The Disappointing Factor
White Crow doesn’t get off to a good start, throwing the spectator right into the middle of the drama as the lead character’s world falls apart. However, after she enters the video game, things become increasingly intense, culminating in a stunning conclusion. With the continual repeating to retry the game stages, the episode can be rather confusing, which may lessen your interest in continuing to watch this show.
In-Depth Analysis
Juno, a popular gaming broadcaster with 0.8 million members, is embroiled in a scandal after a former classmate alleges Juno fabricated her own history. She attempts to reclaim her reputation and return to the air by engaging in a live telecast of a new psychology-based VR game, having lost all of her money, popularity, and admirers over time. She is locked in the virtual world because she is unable to overcome the trauma she experiences in the game. The history she is confronted with is much more unpleasant in this devilish game that forces participants to revisit their prior traumas. The never-ending nightmares within the game represents a portion of her own subconscious mind that she hasn’t addressed, or perhaps doesn’t want to know about.
Star Power
Among the most intriguing aspects of White Crow was Juno’s apparent conviction in her own deception. She’s been doing it for so long that she’s conveniently forgotten about her own uncomfortable truth. As a result, the lies we tell the internet’s Great God become more reasonable, even if it is a fickle God ready to burn us alive.
Overall Opinion
It’s true that White Crow resembles a bottle incident in many respects. The story is told with only a few performers, one or two plain sets, and minimum special effects, and it has a lingering scary vibe. The episode could be the result of the anthology’s cash being spent on bigger, flashier episodes.
