....Well... that was a mess


General:
I honestly was mainly excited for this show because of Perth and Talay. The only things I knew were there were 7 couples, one person in the couple represented a day of the week, and what happened to Perth.

This review will be different from the rest of mine as I’m going to be splitting it up into each pair and the order they came out in. I will also give off some recommendations because I wanted to add some to the previous reviews.

Episodes 1&2: Tue and Ake
Review: These two honestly did convince me that they did hate each other but I wished they had stronger motivations for hating each other than just cutting the line. Them liking each other didn’t surprise me, but I think that fades to the plot moving too quickly. You would look away for a minute and the next thing you know they were close. I think this plot could’ve benefited from either slower pacing or a longer series so they could have slower pacing. The acting was okay at best but I did like Chap’s (Tue) acting but maybe that’s because I’ve seen him act before (Lovely Writer) or I’m just biased.

Recommendations: If you’re looking for sports, I’d say Mr.Heart and Project S: SPIKE. If you’re looking for enemies to lovers, I’d say I Told The Sunset about you, My Gear and Your Gown, Kiss Me Again/ Dark Blue Kiss, We Best Love: No.1 For You, and Sotus/Sotus S.

Episodes 3&4: Sun and Nuea
Review: The relationship was generally healthy and had some good progression. It seemed like they realized that the first two episodes were way too fast and decided to make this one slower. In my personal opinion, it was slightly too slow and Nat (Nuea) being so flirty threw me off for a minute. I will say though that Nat’s (Nuea) attire in the two episodes was fantastic. In every scene, I was like, “Wow, Nat looks really good”. Whoever styled him deserved a raise with those outfits. I think their acting skills showed more in the second part as the second part was better than the first. I do like MaxNat (Is that what we call them?) overall and I wish to see them (or one of them) have their series where they are the main(and it's actually good).

Recommendations: WHY R U?, My Gear and Your Gown, and My Engineer (This one is a stretch as it’s very little of the plot)

Episodes 5&6: Mon and Team
Review: I think the most annoying thing about these two episodes was the fact I knew someone like Mon. They were going after this person who would tell me(and other people) that he hated her but in front of her he seemed to like her. I knew from the get-go that this was going to be a very toxic relationship. I was right and honestly, I hated the storyline because they ended up with each other. To talk about the positives of these two episodes is Thurs and cohesiveness. I think honestly that Thurs was a great friend and I would like to say I liked him more in this than YYY. I would also say that these episodes were more cohesive than the other two.

Recommendations: My Gear and Your Gown, TharnType 2: 7 years of love, En Of Love: Love Mechanics, I Promised You The Moon, and We Best Love: Fighting Mr.2nd

Episodes 7&8: Thurs and Pao/Pae
Review: Comparing to the other four couples that have been stated previously I think this pair shines more than them. The couple had great chemistry in my opinion and I loved the story behind the couple. I may be biased as I love the spirit dramas but I think the plot of this was good and cute. I liked the whole thought of it being someone you will meet and the future and this one I could see being turned into a full-length series where it could be more emotional.

Recommendations: The only ghost one I’ve watched is He’s Coming To Me (which I highly recommend). There some shows like Hidden Love that I haven’t watched. Someones haven’t come out like Something In My Room and Peach Of Time.

Episodes 9&10: Puth and Kaeng
Review: This episode I had high expectations for because of reviews and to me, it was just okay. I agree, that it’s quite realistic and is something that could happen but other than that it was just okay. I will say though I liked their development throughout the story and I think this one has the best development out of all of them so far. Maybe I was just expecting too much?

Recommendations: My Gear and Your Gown, En Of Love: Love Mechanics, and TharnType 2: 7 Years Of Love.

Episodes 11&12: Sat and Choke
Review: I think this one fell flat because I got what it was trying to do with the 13 going on 30 vibes and it had source material. There have been multiple things like this that were just better in the end. I was also very disinterested in the story in general and they seemed quite forgettable. They were cute and they did have chemistry but I just felt like the story was lacking. I was also at times confused and slightly taken aback.

Recommendations: Since there is no Bls with the 13 going on 30 themes The closest I can think of are things that deal with reincarnation like Until We Meet Again and The Untamed. If you have any recommendations like 13 going on 30 then comment them cause I'm actually interested.

Episodes 13&14: Masuk, Jia, and Tir
Review: I may come off as biased because I was expecting these two episodes. I’m going to be real with you, it was just okay. Yes, it is better than some of the rest of the couples and I knew the chemistry already so I had expectations. My expectations were slightly met while watching these two episodes. Talking about the last episode mainly, I just didn’t understand why Perth had to be there in every scene? It made me feel so awkward in so many ways I was like please move on I can’t anymore. Talay's character threw me off for a minute also. It all just took me a while to process everything.

Recommendations: I haven’t watched anything like this before so I asked my friend and her recommendation is One Spring Night. If you have any other recommendations just place them in the comments.

Ending:
In general, this series was not really that good, and honestly, if you are looking to watch something like this then you should just watch ‘Close Friend’. Which ‘Close Friend’ is not really that amazing but you get the same (and maybe even better) execution but is shorter than these long 15 episodes.
