I was tricked! The storyline sounded like it was /right/ up my alley. It was cute, promised me fake dating, AND friends to lovers? I was so ready! The top reviews were also very promising despite the actual rating being a bit low (+ I actually liked the main cast!). But really, this just wasn't it.

While this show had a really cute, albeit cheesy, storyline, it just had no heart. I found myself fast forwarding through SO MUCH. Emotions were lacking, chemistry was nonexistent, and everyone either seemed like they were over or underacting. Some had zero emotions, some had a bit ... too much for what the situation called for. The tropes and cliches were a bit too much (like y'all, there were some WILD storylines just casually thrown in and barely addressed or properly dealt with) and there was absolutely ZERO nuance. I sometimes like cheesiness, sometimes that's /exactly/ what I'm looking for (I enjoyed True Beauty, okay?) but this was like the sad nacho cheese from a vending machine or something (do they exist? If they don't just imagine it does and it's the equivalent of what college campus coffee vending machines are to actual coffee). Poor decisions were made all around. I'm not sure what I was expecting but, I repeat, this wasn't it.

Thankfully it was short so it was easily binged and crossed off but I would not recommend and wish I had passed on this one.
