Review of Play It Cool, Guys

We all know that someone: the cool and mysterious type who manages to make everything look casual and effortless, but who knows what goes on through their head in acting that way? "Cool Doji Doshi" examines those very personalities with no room left in between using four, and eventually five, personable characters. Although they are all equally clumsy, each showcases their own charms and unique ways of dealing with their deficiencies to a hilariously relatable effect. Aside from the premise behind each character's personality, this half-long episode series weaves an intricate tale of how the bubble these characters occupy intersects with one another. bringing theselike-minded people together. What's special about "Cool Doji Doshi" is the seamless transition from the series' plainly episodic trajectory to one that tells a story of men in different places in their lives who find a thing or two to learn from one another. At times near the end of the 24-episode run, audiences almost forget what it is they originally came for in favor of something greater because the series has done so well to emphasize story building and key moments of character growth rather than, without progress, continuously latch onto its original premise of cool yet somewhat graceless men. Characters without much substance can only go so far, and it's a delight to see genuine articles of continuity throughout that reward the viewer for legitimizing the bond between these characters. "Cool Doji Doshi" tells us that no matter how outwardly cool and confident one appears, it's the small and stupid everyday mistakes that shape who we are.
