I almost dropped after ep 8
I don’t typically write reviews (usually just give it a 10 if I like it and move on) but I feel like I have to explain the rating a bit since it’s so low. I’ve read a few reviews sharing similar sentiments, so I feel more confident putting this into words.
(I only critique the characters, the actors were fantastic) (also fully opinion, I’m not saying you shouldn’t like this show, just saying why I don’t)
Praise:
The cute moments that were sparingly sprinkled throughout really saved this for me.
It had nice closure, and I’m glad we were able to see them post-graduation. I really like to see what happens to characters after the main storyline end; it’s nice to know if they get to follow their dreams.
It’s a well written show and the cinematography in many places just hit the spot. A lot of the time, the blocking of the scene really portrayed the characters and emotions well.
Grievances:
This was a *really* frustrating watch for me, mostly because of the lack of communication. My biggest pet peeve when it comes to any genre of show is bad communication. I felt like the characters weren’t being fully transparent about anything. A lot of the conflicts seemed to be caused by miscommunication and lies. I feel like yeah, that’s real life, but it just seemed like *wayyyyy* too much for a 12 episode show.
Khai was quite the unlikeable character and I feel like his redemption arc wasn’t full enough to make me like him; it seemed to stop once Third accepted him when he still could’ve improved.
And Bone? Oooh I have a bone to pick with Bone. I dislike teacher-student relationships in shows. No exceptions. Even though Bone and Paan never had a relationship, it felt like a romanization of his crush. I feel like his acceptance and moving on from her came wayyyy too late in the show for me to really sympathize with Bone. At first I thought Paan was closer to Bone’s age, but after realizing she was his teacher, I immediately stopped rooting for them. I flat out fast-forwarded through most of their interactions because it was so clear Bone liked Paan, and it gave me the ick.
I feel like Un and Two’s relationship wasn’t fully explained, and it almost seemed like it came out of nowhere, which was really off-putting. I would have liked to see it more explored.
The first half of the show was a real struggle for me to get through; I was mad at the characters 99% of the time. I stopped on it after ep. 8.3 because I was so frustrated with it all.
To reiterate: if you like the show, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t. This is my opinion and I’m not asking you to agree
