I’ve seen other short shows done well, so I know it’s possible. This, to me, was not one of them. We’ve seen this story done many times before. It’s kind of a “local girl makes good” story, but I didn’t care for any of the characters. The female lead was not very nice and she uses her hands in such a way that her fingernails always seem to be the focal point of the shot. There was something a little creepy about the male lead and he was a bit of a bully. In addition, I don’t feel he had the looks or the charisma to be the male lead. The second FL was an over-the-top caricature of an evil person - screaming, screeching, foot stomping, she had it all. I have to be honest, the second male lead was attractive and probably could have been the lead, in looks and in the way he was written. He was just nicer than the male lead.
This is a show you might enjoy when you need a break from longer, more well-done works.
