John and Sun-Hee

This is was easily one of the better episodes on the series. And yes it was extremely sad. I'm not understanding some of the other reviews I'm seeing on here saying that this episode feels out of place in The Boys universe, it's almost as if ppl want to really believe that the live action show doesnt have it's fair share of sad moments. This was a great episode, extremely emotional, great animation and storytelling. This one is a 10/10 in my book.

Beautiful, simple, straightforward and effective. An elderly man makes a rash decision to save his terminally ill wife and faces the consequences. Ultimately it's about coming to terms with grief and accepting inevitability, and it does so well. The art is effective and in many shots beautiful, and the voice acting conveys the tenderness the titular characters hold for one another. The script is pretty brutally depressing, but not all stories need to be about half-deranged manchildren shouting profanity while blowing each other up. That's obviously the calling card and draw of the series, but not every episode of the experimental side series needs to fit that formula.

In short, it's a very human story that happens to involve gore and superpowers, but it makes for a refreshing exploration of the depth of the Vought universe.

'John And Sun-Hee (2022)' is about an elderly man who takes extreme measures to save his dying wife, unconcerned with the potentially dangerous consequences of his actions. It's a relatively meditative piece, at least in comparison to some others in its series, and it makes a point of being somewhat gentle in its tone, themes and aesthetic. It's primarily about grief and denial, and it deals with these elements really well. It's actually quite touching and, even, somewhat poignant. Perhaps that's because it isn't afraid to be serious and doesn't concern itself with being 'edgy' for the sake of it. It tells its story earnestly, using violence when it needs to and restraint when it can. It is a little slow, but it's ultimately a quietly affecting experience. 7/10.

The animation is on point and regardless the story is short, it has a good approach on something real and you can even think that there's a background story there. Interesting visuals.

What a stunning, gripping, emotional episode, masterfully told in its limited running time.

Great character development and storytelling, gripping atmosphere, touching score, excellent animation.

Watch it!!!

Highly recommended.
