Na, na-na-naaaaaaaaa
Listen, not every show is going to be prestige prime time drama, and that’s ok.
Sometimes, I just want to watch a show with actors I support and I hope it’s not awful.
I wanted to see how KaownahTurbo would fare as leads and I was pretty pleased.
I haven’t seen any source material or other versions of Love Stage so I know absolutely nothing about the original series and can’t say how great or not of an adaptation this version is, but from the trailer and music video, I felt like I had an idea of what this show would be about.
It’s campy, it’s juvenile, it sometimes approaches serious dramedy, but overall is a pretty light and fluffy show.
Some scenes, I fast forwarded through. Some scenes I genuinely enjoyed.
Pros:
The beach/double hook up episode was easily the high point of the series for me.
It’s cheesy fun and silly
I think Film/Tee was a scene stealer/best of the series
Sometimes the B couple was better to watch than the main couple.
The main female character, Aigo, was pretty solid
Theme song is catchy af
Cons:
Definitely a lot of scenes got fast forwarded through
A big cast for so little development or usage of most of them
I defy you to tell me a difference between Oat and Book or Nick and Big (and one of them I had to look up their name)
A tad disjointed/poorly paced but also meandering at times
Subplots would appear and disappear with a quickness
