Tropes: magical realism, LTR, breakup, amnesia, reunion

KimCop vehicle from Star Hunter, about an LTR between a student Jing (Cop) + nurse Guy (Kim) who have been together for 3 years. Guy is busy all the time so Jing is starting to feel neglected and look elsewhere. KimCop are excellent (no surprise there) but I was not into the story, premise, or concept.

Star Hunter better be careful with Copter, he’s got GREAT chemistry with everyone, and I’m not mad about seeing him with a different partner. Honestly, I was rooting for Jing to leave Guy for the cute artist phi with the fierce eyebrows who wants to feed him shrimp. It’s a fair cop (pun intended).

The breaking the 4th wall self-referential dream sequence Cheewin crack-head filler is intolerable - I nearly dropped the show because of it. Look, I’d had it UP TO HERE with YYY and that was years ago. The side dishes are adorbs tho. (WHY ARE HIS SIDE DISHES ALWAYS SO CUTE?)

Side couple Viking & TamTam stole this one for me.

Also, just a note, Star Hunter always does this thing where characters neither eat nor drink what they’ve ordered (except in What Zabb Man).

The final ep activates the amnesia trope. Sigh. And that causes a reboot for the romance and because they are older they can make it work the second time around. Honestly I was left, ultimately with a sensation of: What did I just watch? It was terrible.

NOT RECOMMENDED
