I went into Phantom with high expectations, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to what I’d hoped for. Gigi’s story had so much potential, but I don’t feel like it was fully justified or properly fleshed out. The plot lacked excitement, and just when I thought the story was about to take off, it abruptly ended.
That said, the bonus scene was a nice touch. It offered some closure for the couple and gave a glimpse into their true ending, which added a touch of satisfaction to an otherwise underwhelming read. While it didn’t fully redeem the story, it was enough to save it a little for me.
