+5 for the cast,- 5 for wasting their time and talent
Disappointment is an understatement to describe this show.
Imagine hiring podd,khao,janhae,ciize to participate in this hot mess. The storyline was all over the place. However,the problematic nature of tonhon was the worst part. His character being the all cocky macho that does not treat or deserve chonlate at all. Besides that, i really hated the crazy ex girlfriend plot point as well, boring and cliche as always.
The way they could have salvaged this show if only they stuck to book’s story,they strayed so far from the book to create a more dramatic show only to fail miserably. In the original book, tonhon was not an asshole. He was a masculine guy but no the point of oozing toxicity,he was supportive his queer friends and accepting of chonlate who was feminine by nature only to gradually realise he was interested in him. In the show,they’ve damaged this character beyond repair with minimal if not no redeeming qualities. As for chonlate, he was supposed to be unapologitically feminine with his pink items and shorts, unafraid to be his authentic and true self. However, the adaptation killed chonlate’s confident personality,made him less feminine and instead an awkward and meek guy who harbored a secret crush on his toxically masculine childhood friend. A total 180 degree flip in characters’ natures and important plot points of the original piece.
The best part of this show if there’s any to begin with….should be the cast. I love these set of actors,they can and will definitely deliver a good performance granted the script is good and suitable for them. But I’m sure we are past the point of believing that considering the script was garbage. I can see that they tried to work with it and they did alright for their roles despite the very poorly written script.
Other than the script and acting, every other aspect is not even worth brushing upon. The cinematography,lighting,cameraworks,bgm were all bland and was somewhat decent for the time the show aired, nothing stellar or special but nothing to complain much about either.
