This Show Had Me Say "I Do"...But Not Until The End
So, this show was a rollercoaster. Another haters to lovers type of storyline. But it never really got toxic or volatile which is good. At first, with Aaron's character Jin I was getting serial killer vibes with those gloves lol. But obviously that's not the case because its revealed about his allergy. Which did make for some cute scenes, but I question if that storyline was even needed? Because we still had the accident plot, which hits really close to Aaron's actual horrible thing he went through. Poor baby. Past that though, let's address the elephant in the room. You could never actually ban relationships from a work space lol thats a lawsuit. I know its a show, but there's some surrealism with that. It also never really had any repercussions so whatever!
Hank as Shi Lei was very sweet and adorable. At first I didn't know how to take his character, but he progressively grew on me. Though Jin was still a much more interesting character. I realized after a few eps that I had gotten really into this! Mostly because of Aaron but still! Him and Hank's chemistry did show itself quite well with what we had to work with. However, this is where some problems arose. This show is wayyyyyy too slow. Our poor main couple didn't honestly get the time they deserved overall, whereas our side couple was lit. They were so good! If we hadn't of had them this would've been a complete bust. I like watching their wholesome and sometimes...not so wholesome interactions lol.
Another thing was why are we introducing an "antagonist" so late? Like really!? The ex arch could've came in eps before and had the plan with Shi Lei carry out. That could've added for more development. Although, that last episode was SNATCHED holy crap hello R rating lmao! I legit thought I was hallucinating for sure. They were definitely holding out on us until the very end. That's the chemistry I wanted to see and was clearly there! So sweet and butterflies for sure. Really solid ending and we get side couple engagement cuteness!
Finally, random things. The scene of Shi Lei talking to his mom about caring for Jin was precious. As well as, hello cameo I've been waiting for from our king Wayne! Cannot wait for season 2 of MODC!!! I would say watch this for mostly the side couple and then the last couple eps. There's so much filler that isn't needed. Also the soundtrack has gotten stuck in my head :P
