Downhill ride of likeability
This show started off great for me but the more I watched it the less I liked it. I didn't hate this show but there are just a lot of things that could have made it so much better.
It starts off cute and sweet with the unbreakabke relationship of the two nain characters. Then you see the complete codependancy that Eiw has with Cake. This relationship is even encouraged by the families. It seems that Eiw is completely incapable of doing anything without Cake.
Then Cake moves to the US with his family and encourages Eiw to actually get a life and learn to be on his own and make friends. This is probably the only right thing done in the writing of this series.
Eiw eventually is able to take Cake's advice. They do remain friends and keep in touch well. But when Cake returns he is upset Eiw actually took his advice and he couldn't just pick up where they left off 4 years ago.
The kicker though for the whole series is the last 2 episodes turn into a "Don't Smoke" campaign. I hate being preached to in a show I am watching for entertainment. There was not enough story line in these last 2 episodes for me to even really enjoy them.
The actual highlight of this entire series for me was to see Prem playing an adult especially with Between Us just coming out. The stark contrast between those to characters was fun to see.
Please dont misunderstand I love the actors and the acting in this series I just REALLY didnt like the writing.
