2024's snoozefest
I have absolutely no idea how I finished this without dropping but I did and even I'm surprised that I did complete this one. Judging from my headline, I'm sure you'll have figured how boring this one was. It was a bland show with nothing much to offer through it's story, acting and the abhorrent subtitles surely didn't help it's case. There's so much and so little to talk about that I have no idea where to begin and structure this review properly.
Nevertheless, let's start with the show's weakest point: The acting and the chemistry between the main characters. Thankfully the acting was not very cringey from the main actors but still it lacked some emotions or rather didn't evoke any emotions in me as a viewer. In simpler words, it was not impactful. Besides that, I didn't really "feel" the chemistry between the two leads even when they progressed their relationship status as lovers. To be frank, I didn't really care for them as a couple, probably wouldn't even have cared if they didn't end up together.( Jet seemed like a better option tbh.). Another minor point would be that I didn't really like the acting of prod's sick mum, she seemed so robotic in a sense(?)
Next point would be the story of course, the core of this show. Being upfront and all, I really wouldn't have watched this show at all if it didn't include the classic "unrequited love" troupe. It's my go-to when I crave some angsty story to make me feel sad, it makes me empathize with the characters. This is actually the only reason why I even continued the show. Other than that, the story is very cliché, boring and there isn't even much to add to this
Review wouldn't be complete without talking about music and overall production value, both were poor in this show's case. The music wasn't my forte and the production value was visibly outdated for a show airing in 2024, it felt like I was watching something from 2015 to 2017. One of the biggest complaints for this show is it's ridiculously inaccurate subtitles which I have to agree is very irritating and affects the overall viewing experience. However, in my case the other poor aspects of the show didn't make the subtitles seem like the biggest issue as context clues could still be applied to understand what's happening, just maybe not in high levels of accuracy.
Overall the best part of the show was the side lesbian couple, everything else was mid tier to downright "never do this again" tier.
