The King of Broken Hearts
Have you ever seen a show that was a little messy, but all the ingredients were there to make it end well, but then they ruin it? That's this show. It's like the creators of the show didn't really understand where the emotional heart was - the story they should be telling. Sib's fascination with Pun is definitely not it, even though the show thought it was. The emotional center was all the feelings of love put on hold because of Sib's denial of his homosexuality. If they played that angle through, and just let Pun fall for someone his own age, this show could have pulled off a miracle of tension & release. Instead, they provide a piece of crap ending that shows that nothing was learned in the process, and that the one who was true to his feelings from the beginning, Sib's brother Em, gets no reward for being such at all. So, the show could have been tremendously good as a portrayal of what the closet can do to countless people, but instead, we got a mess, with pretty bad acting in Sib and Pun, the two main characters!
