Club Friday to Be Continued: She Changed (2016)

I went into this drama not knowing anything. I haven't seen any of the other seasons and I just happen to come across it on netflix randomly. To be very honest, i really liked it up until the end. But overall it was very engaging. The plot was refreshing to me (actually lesbian instead of the queer baiting i always see). The flow of this drama gives away how it ends; there is nothing really special about the ending expect for enlightenment for the 4 leads. They all gain an understanding about how they feel about themselves and each other.

Acting : Depends on the character and scene combination in my opinion. Some scenes I really felt that the acting was excellent and I was dying of laughter and strong emotions. then there were times that the acting didn't quite cut it.

Music: There were some good songs for the opening and ending credits but the mood music (background) was over done. Certain characters were given a background song that gave a feeling a danger (even though they used the same song whenever something petty or heart shattering happened--it got really annoying after the five times in a span of 10mins)

Re-watch: Even though I liked this drama a lot, I won't be coming back. I gave a low rating for some scenes and script topics. This drama showcased how society views same sex relationships and mainly marriage. It also incorporates revenge, mental illness (to a point), and suicide to the mix. The topics that rubbed me the wrong way were when they would slut shame the women but the main male lead was a straight up hoe plus addressing the darkest characters skin tone (offensively). They also made it seem that being lgbt+ was a "phase" and a "delusion". (basically making bisexuals confused individuals)

Final thoughts: they could have did more for the main couple. It urks my soul that the other couple had more growth (basically the second leads should have been the main with how the writers developed them in my opinion).

Mean was a really interesting character...real with her feelings even though she was confused for most of it. The character I hated the most was the other female character. She played around with the two men and Mean while smirking and laughing at her obvious enjoyment of manipulating every situation. She lied so easily and cried so easily. Yeah, the male was kind of a jerk towards Mean (have no idea why she really liked the guy for the most part) but I think he was conflicted with the idea that she would just leave him for another woman anyway. I just couldn't stand the Arpu chick. The only time she felt any bad feelings or REMORSE was when she got caught and pregnant. She was a cheater and a liar. It was really her boyfriend's fault for putting up with it. She would cling on to anyone who would have her by almost committing suicide. If she were a good person maybe I would have felt bad for her but she was awful throughout the whole beginning. Just nasty person all around. She only felt horrible after all the bad things came back and bit her in the butt. Of course, she ended up with a happy family and marriage with the baby daddy because that seemed the perfect ending for her nastiness. She ruined much of the show for me. It would been better if she ended up in the psych ward for a bit.
