The things I would do for ForceBook...
The story was actually really interesting in the beginning, I wasn't sure why people were hating on this series. In episode 3, Theo started to be a little bit annoying, but I gave him another chance. Oh, come on, he's not a lying manipulator. Right? Right?! Who am I kidding, he is. I was writing notes while watching and one literally says, "Everyone is blaming themselves, except for Theo. If this isn't a manipulation, I don't know what is." Couldn't agree more, past Yumi.
THE PLOT: But let's start at the beginning, where we are in beautiful CGI Paris. Thank God they hired French speaking actors. Theo is starting a new college, a literature major. His dad runs the school, so he's immediately recognized by everyone. Attending with him is his childhood best friend, Akk. I love Akk. Everyone loves Akk. Couldn't say the same thing for Theo, though (no, I won't stop hating on him). Theo, being the spoiled brat he is, is bored in a library, so he writes something in French in a book called "Enchanté". Then he received an answer, written in Thai. Oh my God, who could that be? Akk doesn't wait and prints out papers where he asks the person who wrote in the book to reveal themselves. So Akk and Theo wait in the library, and then four guys appear. They all claim to be the mysterious Enchanté...
It was so interesting. I was trying not to hate Theo, but after episode 10, I couldn't help it! The reveal was... weird. Um, okay, I need to say that I knew who Enchanté was because I read spoilers. I knew it was Theo himself, but I was curious how they were going to handle the reveal. Nah, it was so and so. I mean, it was a plot twist, I guess.
CHARACTERS: I hate Theo. Poor Akk, WHY would he marry him?! Akk was a sweetheart; I kinda feel bad for Theo's parents, the scene where he was trying to get them back together was so CRINGE that I took off my headphones; Wayo was really weird, he looked like he was high (on love HAHAHA), also, was he in love with his teacher??!!!; I felt so sorry for Phupha, Theo was like, "I mean, yeah, I have money, but would I help this dude whose mother is sick and he doesn't have any money left? NAHHH."; Fluke Gawin's acting as Saifa wasn't the best, but at least he could sing.
The best thing about this show was the music. When I was listening to the main theme song, I felt like I was watching a good show. Unfortunately, I wasn't.
