this is chalked full of clichés - and its not that u don't see them coming from a mile away - compared to the drama, this was a let down. and i seriously don't get anyone giving this more the 5 stars, and that's being generous - 10 is whack ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but to each their own... watching i cringed so hard i hurt my shoulders and rolled my eyes so hard - so many times, i saw my brain.

the excuse Xavier used to distance himself from Mico was a copout (having said this, after the 1st season we needed Xavier's shine to dim cause it was Mico's turn to be mature, understanding and considerate... a 180 considering his personality in the drama, but it is what it is).
so Xavier became the type of guy that serves as a justifiable warning to everyone out there, that has a major problem with their bf/gf staying friends with their ex. with all due respect her parents getting a divorce didn't mean they leaving her - no one freakin abandoning this grown ass baby. hell of a way to make everything about her, as if her mother wasn't suffering or worried, she needed to put her feeling on the back-burner cause her daughter fragile ugh plz - and that not enough she having a panic attack cause her ex has moved on aish plz talk about being overly dramatic just cause things not going her way - like a kid sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting "i can't hear u..."(¬‿¬)(¬_¬ )

unlike the drama Mico's character had not only mellowed out, but matured and his reactions and attitude were on-point, even his not readily forgiving Xavier was logical - heck i though his "...i'm ok to be friends..." was whack - like plz, if it was me Xavier would be lucky if i didn't punch him in the throat the first time i saw him after him bailing on my b-day without a word - and the fact that he did that just to be with his ex psssh, that bit would just add fuel to a raging fire, that would never die... so him needing time to rage and then cool down enough to hear his friends out - then finding in himself the truth about his feelings, and following through was a good conclusion to the mess this started off from

the other plus points were Mico's friends - they a fun, loyal group of people that r great wing-men (but they were no different in the drama) - Mico lucked out. but this is far from a master piece that deserves a 10 - doubt i'ma rewatch this, not the case with the drama which is for-sure a rewatch - but its fine for a one off
