Funny road trip drama with surprising charm
Cupid´s last wish is a pretty fun series in exciting setting and the fact that's it is EarthMix makes it an enjoyable experience.
A drama that resolves around a quest type of story is risky thing to do. This series sometimes feels little repetitive. They drive, they eat, obstacle comes and Win throws a tantrum... but despite the first episode I quickly came to realize that this drama is not supposed to be that serious, it´s a comedy! And with that the series became much more enjoyable. In fact it could only surprise me from now on. And it did!
I liked what the did with Win, he is horrible. You are supposed to hate him but that makes his character development so satisfying. I guess the reason why so many people dislike him is because the set up for him in the first episode was weak and makes him look like he is overreacting. But I got over it quickly and enjoyed him being annoying brat that needs a lesson. Really this dramas best ideas were simple, they worked the best. You have a guy that is an asshole and needs to realize how badly he has been treating his loved ones. Fate makes him go on a journey full of funny adventures in his sister´s body as he realizes his mistakes.
SO WHY IS THE FINALE SO NONSESICAL AND OUT OF CONTROL. I was expecting the spirit of Win´s father to be behind it all, it´s a logical wrap up of the story. But NO, the father´s death and character were pointless plot device because it was the mom that made Win and Korn drift apart. I thought that the whole engagement thing was a nonsense but then the climax of the farms inheritance came in and left a bitter taste in my mouth.
(And don´t even get me started on the uncle and aunt. I was okay with them being cartoony Team Rocket villains, it sort of fitted the story, but they did nothing for the whole series. You could write them off and the story wouldn´t change. )
So the finale is a huge miss but the rest of the series holds up pretty well. Mix is great in his role, I enjoyed him the best and Jan as Win in Lin´s body was phenomenal. The body swap doesn´t really matter but isn´t confusing and adds a funny element to the story. Earth and Mix delivered as expected, made me laugh, made me angry and made me root for the form start to finish. I will be re-watching and I can´t wait for Moonlight chicken!
