Like A 90s Song: Fades Out Instead of Ends
Like the header says, this series started out pretty good, it had its ups and downs throughout the story, but like a 90s song, it had no real ending.
The Good:
-The cast is mostly pretty great. Man and Ben have great chemistry and all the actors really fit their characters well.
-Jeng is absolutely loveable AND hot.
-It's a story about adults, not students, which is always a plus for me!
The Meh:
-Pat is supposed to be 24 in the beginning, and yeah he does sort of act like an immature 24-year-old, but it gets taxing to watch him whining after a while.
-The entire story with Ae and her family is just really pointless to the plot and only wastes screen time.
-Very unbelievable workplace dynamics (open harassment and not a SINGLE person is worried about getting sent to HR??? Really???) pulls you out of the story.
The Bad:
-Jaab and Jen's story is so far to the 'side' that we're clearly missing half of it. It makes no sense why they are the way they are, and it's very annoying.
-So much screen time is spent on the work projects and situations and we have those pop-up definitions of what the jargon being used is, but it never ACTUALLY ever has any involvement in the plot? Why?
-The biggest problem is it DOESN'T END! What happened with Jaab and Jen? What happened with Jeng's father? Why did his mother meet Pat for 30 seconds and nothing ever comes of it again? WHY IS THERE ABSOLUTELY NO CONCLUSION TO ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE SERIES???
It's worth watching for a reprieve from student BLs as an adult drama (well... mostly *looks at Pat*) and because Man is really loveable as Jeng, but it's not going to be anybody's favorite series.
