I watched SODSTAR's new work 'First Brainwashing Esthetic Project.' Starring popular idol Aimao Yano, this drama-style production unfolds an unprecedented public humiliation starting from a fan's grudge, set in a brainwashing esthetic salon.

Aimao Yano's acting skills are astounding. The scenes where she instantly switches between brainwashed and清醒 states are particularly brilliant, drawing viewers in with a performance that feels like she's playing dual roles. The fellatio and squirting scenes while brainwashed are also realistic, making the entire work feel like a complete drama.

The evolution of the series is noticeable. From the early works, the focus on brainwashing depictions and storytelling has intensified, especially since 'Sparkling Minato Ward Girl,' with more effort put into brainwashing scenes. The increased use of inner monologues and facial expressions to captivate audiences shows a refined approach to production.

This installment features a chain-corruption plot, with the scene of a female company president being framed, insulted, and brainwashed by the idol she was supposed to protect being a highlight. Both actresses deliver such stellar performances that it's hard to tell who the main character is, deeply portraying the relationship between the brainwasher and the brainwashed.

The abundance of esthetic scenes is also a plus. The progression from brainwashing ⇒ brainwashing others ⇒清醒 ⇒ being brainwashed by the brainwashed is thrilling, with a natural story flow. For improvements, adding brainwashing progress indicators, restraint scenes, or contract recitation scenes could enhance immersion.

Brainwashing depictions this year have become more sophisticated, and this time, the portrayal of the main idol brainwashing the president adds a nuanced depth compared to previous chain-corruption plots. Expectations for future series are high.
