It's not perfect but it's wildly entertaining
Weeks ago I was going to drop this at episode 4 because it wasn't what I wanted it to be. It was so silly at the beginning and I was looking forward to something more serious and gritty.
I kept reading all the comments and discussions about how people were loving it and I was like why? But before I dropped it I decided to give it one more chance. I stopped thinking about what I wanted this show to be and decided I'd take it as what it was...a romcom with a mafia backdrop. With that in mind, I watched 5 and thankfully it started clicking with me. I'm glad I didn't drop it because it's been a wild rollercoaster of a ride since.
Kinn and Porsche: A lot of people seemed to find them boring after a while, but I loved their chill, fluffy domesticity we don't get to see a lot of that. Plus their chemistry was always on point.
Vegas and Pete: I do think their whole thing was rushed, but I loved all the angst. Who doesn't love two tortured men in love? I just wish they'd given it more than a few episodes to flesh out and really breathe. I'll be on the look out for Bible's future works because he's so compelling as an actor.
Kim and Chay: I liked their cute/innocent thing. I do think there was a lot more they could have done with them, but I also think Barcode's age played a role in that. Like maybe they were holding back on a proper story because it could be uncomfortable? I don't know. I feel like Jeff and Barcode both were underutilized .
As for the production, There were some things in this show that weren't done well. Definitely some head scratching moments, some things that probably happened solely for the shock value, and some super weird product placements, but there were lots of things I think were done extremely well, the directing, some of the acting, and some really great scenes. I'm glad Beyond Cloud picked this up, because despite this show not being anywhere near perfect it was fun and entertaining and I personally saw a lot of potential for greatness from their future works.
