AMAZING, BUT BEWARE OF EPISODE 10!
VIEWERS BEWARE! If you want to keep things lighthearted and fun, DO NOT WATCH EPISODE 10.
I originally saw this when it first came out, and I am rewatching it for the first time since. It is a well worth drama that's different from most, and it will definitely keep your attention. But as I have stated before, episode 10 is a page turner that didn't need to exist.
As a fellow writer, I feel episode 10 was a plot twist Gone Wrong! Some may say it was a final addition to the script that was meant for shock value, others might say it was supposed to come out of nowhere- as it says in the title "Make Your Days Count", but this by far was a terrible way to convey the message. I honestly do not mind the idea of one of the main characters dying by the end of the series, in truth, it does fit the theme/premise of the show. But with this being said, it could have been done a WHOLE lot better. For example, picture this:
"A pair of boys fall in love during the prime of their youth. Young and careless, the two shelter themselves from the world around them creating one of their own- that is until a terminal disease begins to rear it's ugly head threatening to tear the two apart."
This would have been MUCH BETTER; possibly having one of the characters being born with something terminal- he hides it from the second lead not wanting to spoil any of the moments they have left together. It could still have been a shock to the audience, keeping us in the dark as well. It would have delivered a softer yet still effective sting in our hearts wanting us to make the most of what we have.
But ultimately, it was the author's/writers' choice NOT OURS. But WE as watchers do have a choice So if you want to enjoy a beautiful story- only watch up until Episode 9. Don't worry, you don't miss much in Episode 10 that adds needed detail to the plot. After all, I pretend episode 10 doesn't exist. But don't just take my word for it, see four yourself.
