This could have been so good! 8/10 for two Eps. 4/10 for the rest.
Overall this series was pretty disappointing and silly in all but two episodes. The prequel special episode was wonderful, as was the special episode after the finale (ep 13.). Everything else was mostly me just watching on double speed looking for anything interesting or at least not really stupid. There was pretty little of that.
Pros:
-The prequel special ep is overall just great. 8/10.
-Ep 13 (the post finale special) is also really good where you get to see Tee and Ice get together. I loved their dynamic, they both committed to their NC and kissing scenes. Their kiss scenes were so good! Ice was much cuter and his sweetness was charming. It was cute seeing Tee's jealously for him and them finally admitting their affection for each other.
-The actor for Tee is so hot. Sooo hot. I know Nine is meant to be the ultimate eye candy here and sure his body is chiselled af. And usually I find the actor for Daonuea really beautiful and charming in all his other roles. (Not in this one sadly because his character is so whiny and intolerable). BUT the actor for Tee has the lustful, wanting looks down pat and convinces you he wants to kiss his partner. That's what I want to see. His one ep with Ice was more passionate and believable than the entire series of scenes with the main couple. I really hope to see him in better roles. The last 20 seconds of the special ep are just chef's kiss with the way Tee looks at Ice.
-The actors did the best they could with the terrible script. They really did. Every actor I'm familiar with I've liked in their other works. I feel like I could almost see the pain on the actor for Nine's face in the earlier episodes when Daeonuea's char is asking him why he's doing this stupid shit and Nine's actor is like well fk there's really no good reason- how do I emote for this? I swear I could see that ticking over in his mind through his expression in some scenes.
-The main female actors are incredibly hot af. Candy and Praew were just beautiful in every scene and I liked seeing their different outfits- even if Praew's character is intolerable.
-The production value was actually pretty good. Pretty lighting and high quality footage and audio.
-A lot of the music (if you completely exclude the bombastic NC scene music) was actually pretty good. A couple of the softer songs with a lot of English in them actually got stuck in my head after watching. Really pretty!
Cons:
Look there's so many cons for this show that I feel like are covered pretty much in everyone else's reviews. So I'm not going to list them all here.
Mainly I'll just say the script was awful, as was the pacing. I watched the uncut, super long episodes on IQIYI and honestly they should have just released cut versions with the important scenes only and everyone would have been better off.
Overall I'm leaving this show on a positive note, but it is literally only because it ended on that special episode which I can actually see myself re-watching.
