Too disjointed and a big disappointment
I don't know what to say about this. It's four episodes of confusion and complete idiocy. I hear there is another series that goes further with this and maybe I will be able to dredge up enough emotion to care. Without spoilers I can tell you it was too short to really see any character development and too disjointed to make sense. The OST was decent, but nothing extraordinary. I haven't seen the actors in anything else, but honestly they were the only parts of this story that was worthwhile. I don't know how they were able to portray emotion so well despite the lack of actual love story. The actors for Mark and Vee were so good despite a disappointing story. Overall, not really worth the time it took to watch it.
With spoilers: STOP here if you don't want to know what happens in the story! Mark and Vee hook up after Mark apparently realizes that his unrequited love is with someone else and he gets drunk. Vee holds out for about 3 seconds against Mark's drunk kissing and then gives in and takes advantage. Next morning you realize that Vee's got a long time girlfriend (Ploy) that he is supposedly in love with and she lives next door to Mark. Oh yes, he's a great boyfriend. Not really a big deal if he cheats though, since she is doing the same. Then begins a series of disjointed scenes in which we are made to understand that Ploy and Vee may or may not have broken up while Vee and Mark may or may not have begun a relationship. As a true selfish cheater, Vee goes right back to Ploy and breaks Mark's heart. Mark may or may not have moved on with someone else while Vee cried his heart out as all cheaters should. Then wonder of confusing wonders, they appear to get back together after Vee makes some vague excuses and promises he will love Mark only. Cue the happy ending. Except I don't really feel like Vee cares about Mark more than he cares about himself. Mark seems like a doormat who lets his boyfriend walk all over him and then pouts when his boyfriend continues to cheat but forgives because he has no self esteem. It's believable in that aspect, I've seen that often enough in real life, but I don't love those relationships, I hate them. So I can't support the couple and they are the entirety of the series. BIG disappointment. If there was more story or scenes of Mark and Vee or some kind of character development where we could believe that Vee changed, it might be worthwhile. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
