Umm...ehhh...hmmm
Well, I have completed the series 'Bite Me'. When I heard about it the first time, I was so excited, because we were getting a setting that was not solely based in school. And I will say that they were a few handful good episodes, but I personally felt that they were A LOT of not so good episodes. And that's why this series really did not resonate well with me.
Story-5/10
When I read the synopsis, I went to myself 'Hey! This sounds cool. This series may actually be interesting.' However, after watching this series for eleven weeks, I personally felt that it was a bit slow/ draggy. Yes, they were some good moments. I do remember like the first two episodes were good as well as episodes seven and especially episode ten with Aek and his mother. But otherwise than that this series really did nothing for me. Especially after reading the synopsis< I was thinking 'Yeah, we gonna see a food competition.' And then where only two episodes were dedicated to the competition- one to get in the competition and the finals. Also, I really did not see the need for some side characters, but I guess they were there to add something for the competition.
I felt that at times that the scenes seemed a bit not put together in the correct place, thus making it a bit off for me, especially episode eleven. I have no idea what the heck happened in that episode cause it left me feeling a bit loss and confused (for example- since when did Bie meet Eve and likes her? Did I miss something or...?) The secondary couples were not developed good, so I honestly did not care for any of them outcome if they were happy or sad at the end. But I will say this- the food in this series looked phenomenal.
Acting/Cast-5/10
The amount of long pauses in this series from ALL of the characters is really nerve racking. And some of their acting just had me blankly watching the screen and having no emotions from watching it and wondering when the episode is going to end. I mean, for the last episode, I checked the time three times cause I felt that it was going on too long for a 46:37 episode. I was originally going to give this a four or something even lower cause I just wasn't feeling it. However, due to Mark's performance as well as Rudklao's (Aek's mom) performance in episode ten, I'm going to give them a 5.
Music-9.5/10
I can safely say this- the music was one of, if not the only, good thing about this series. The songs are addictive and I can be singing them from days to come. 9.5 from me!
Rewatch Valu-2/10
I honestly do not want to watch this series again. It really did not keep my attention or desire when I sat down and watch the episodes (except for the four episodes that I mentioned). So, just because of those four outstanding episodes for me, I will give it a 2.
Overall-5.5/10
Overall I give this series a 5.5. I really did try to enjoy it and it did start off good. But something just wasn't there for me. And while episodes seven and ten were good, these four episodes really can't make me enjoy the whole series.
