So much lost potential

Just finished the series and wow I have never been sucker punched so many times in my life. I truly stopped being able to tell where the plot was going to go because the cuts between scenes would be so harsh and stuff just goes unexplained. The story feels stitched together probably bc of the short run time and departing so much from the original work. The cast is the only reason I kept watching, they really have great chemistry as a whole and the main couple do too so it's wild how they have more chemistry irl than in this show. I'm the type who likes to theorize about the next episode, and this show kind of let me down at every turn. I loved the first few episodes but by episode 7 they lost me emotionally.

Also the last episode? and how they deal with Ton's dad and family? Gay and homophobic. It is so strange to see so many clearly queer references but also spikes of homophobic ideas and scenarios that go unaddressed and unchallenged. The epilogue 3 years later is so strange as well, and their kiss at the end... Ton's lips were so chapped and that's all I have to say.
