I didn't expected to like 'Why R U?' -even tho, I have some complaints ?-
Ok, I finally got to see 'Why R U?', tbh I just saw it for Saint since I'm following his work after LBC.
The first thing is that it really bored me in the first episodes 😅😅😅😅 It took me 4 days to finally see chapters 1 and 2. I thought it would be a bad series, but I wanted to end it... was a good choice to stick to it.
In the end, I have to admit it was a series that I liked even more than LBC, so I want to give my own opinion over it:
Because anything is perfect, I want to start with some general flaws:
* The first thing that really bothers me about WRU was the concert... I mean, it was really awful to see them singing trying to make it look like it was music there, it was funny, but still... was that an editing issue?
* This is just my point of view, but, I couldn't understand why SaiFah and Fighter had to fight every single time with Zon and Tutor, I mean, as a child it's somewhat understandable, but as adults, more than that, straight adults... why do they have to do that?... to date, I haven't had met any real couple who started fighting in the way the start but is just a minor point.
* Some camera angles were awful... At first, they were seeing straight to the face, then the camera changes and they are in another position, I'm don't work in Hollywood, but it was something I had a hard time letting slip...
* The inconsistency about Tutor's family wealth... I don't know if I get something wrong, but I understood that Tutor's family was in bankruptcy, then they show his mother who lives in a pretty great house and she buy him the apartment, did they or did they not needed the money?
* The fluffy parts were meant to be for comic relief, I know, but I don't really like those over-the-top personalities, how the people at the bakery acted was just too much for me, I usually fast-forwarded those parts.
Now, let's talk about the characters:
+ Zol and their parents: I want to start with her since she is my less liked character of the regular cast. I totally didn't like Zol's attitude, the way she wasn't straightforward to rejected the guy, or how she pushed his other friend to keep texting such guy so she could forget about him, it was like playing with people... About their parents, they were so random that I don't have any opinion about them, the mother was really cute, tho.
+ HwaHwa: In the beginning, I felt bad for her since I thought she was soo in love with Fighter. Then she lost me when Fighter told her that every single time they fight or have any argument, she goes and talks to his father and her mother. Then I could understand that she is a spoiled brat who thinks that just bc is her, other people need to listen to her. In the end, she supports Tutor and Fight, but, the fact that she acted the way she did with Fighter in their relationship, still bothers me. I think Day was too good for her, but, let's put that in other comments hahaha
+ Minor Couples: I think that only Blue's love story was kinda my taste, I couldn't get to like the others couples.
+ Fighter's dad: I have to congratulate them for showing the first parent who is against the main couple's relationship (the parents from UWMA don't count since it was 30 years ago). I was kinda tired to see families too supportive tbh, it's stupid, but I couldn't relate to such families, is not that they don't exist, but I didn't get excited by them since I saw too many people like them in the series I have seen. In the end, he supports his son's relationship with Tutor, but, it was a fresh of air to see him hahaha
+ Tong (Tor's sister): for the other hand... props to the most real and human sister I have ever seen in this dramas. I know what I said about supportive family just a paragraph ago, but she was a hell of a character... I mean, the actress even showed how she was digesting the news about Tutor, and the advice she gives him was the most relatable I have ever seen, even the one she gave to Fighter. When they say goodbye at the airport, that was too real for me, she was a great character even tho she just appeared in one episode.
+ SaiFahZon: I'm gonna put them together bc I haven't seen their side story. But, the same issue I had with Fight being stubborn against Tutor, I had with those two together... I liked their personalities and I think that they worked pretty well by themselves and together, so they were a good addition.
+ Fighter: Ok ok, don't hate me... I loved the guy, I liked his performance, buuuuut the thing with his attitude -at first- against Tutor was somewhat incoherent for me. Saying that I have to admit that when he cried for Tutor... maaan, he gives his all in that scene alone. I'm gonna talk later about the couple's dynamic, but, when it comes to the character, he was a great asset to the series.
+ Tutor: Finally, the Main Character (at first, I thought it was Zon hahaha), I have to say that Tutor overcomes Pete. The way Saint portrayed Tutor was just amazing. I have to admit that I hated Pete's passiveness sometimes and his soft voice was sometimes unbearable, but, Tutor WOOOW! Props to him. I couldn't help but to like him from the very beginning, the way he was so calm about HwaHwa botters me sometimes, I never understood if he was into her or just saw her as a friend, but I'm so glad that he passed from her. He understood first his feelings and was understanding about Fighter's doubtfulness in the series. I saw a Tutor dealing with real problems, I even feel relate to the sadness he exudes when he got rejected from too many jobs, there was a day when I felt exactly the same. This is one of my fav characters to date. btw, Does Saint have any fetish about ending his series on the beach? hahahahaha
At last, I wanna talk about major points and couples dynamic:
- The settlement was enjoyable, the music was great and the beach scenes were outstanding. I even wanna travel to Thai just for the beaches hahahaha
- The pansexuality of the four main characters, I mean, they def. are not straight, neither gay... maybe Bi, but I go with pansexuals since Fight said that "Tutor was the only person he had feelings for...", I really think that they are pansexuals and that was good to see in a series.
- SaiFahZon Relationship: After the usual hating they two had, I have to admit that they became one of the cutest couples I have ever seen on screen. And it wasn't fluffy, was just cute. They were understanding to each other's feelings, the way SaiFah protected Zon, and how Zon took care of him when he got sick, I totally have to see their side story.
- Tutor/Fight: At first, I thought Tutor was gonna be so passive as Pete but it wasn't the case, the thing I loved the most about this couple was how mature they were, lest just ignore when Fight's dad talked to Tutor. The fact that they were both straights and thought too deeply about their feelings, was gold. Also, I have to admit that they were really committed to the lovely parts, the sex, the kisses, I bet that Zee got hard in some scenes, I mean, how could they not feel anything after all they did? As a couple, they were a great improvement from what I was used to in other dramas, I still love more PuphaTian than FighTor, but after seeing this couple, I don't need AePete anymore hahahaha
Oh! Before I forget... could Saint get a role as top or inter at least? I can see a lot of potential on him about it hahahaha
I don't think is anything left to said... I just have to admit that this was a great series, I def. gonna rewatched a lot of times.
If you get to read to this part, thank you...
