This review may contain spoilers
I'm seriously questioning my sanity after this lol
I advice you to strap on your seatbelts cuz boy this is 'bout to be a long ass rant.
¡¡Disclaimer!!
This review is based on my personal opinion/experience while watching, you are free to agree/disagree with it.
First of all, lemme start with saying that this series made no sense whatsoever imho, like at all. HOWEVER, despite the somewhat infuriating ending for some characters (I'm not spoiling it lol) and the weird writing on that script, I absolutely adored this series for some mysterious reason.
Story/Plot :
If y'all are going in, expecting some deep complex plot, than this is not the series for you, just move onto another one. In all honesty, I really couldn't make out what the main plot was in here at first cuz the pacing and the editing didn't make that much sense to me. But the plot summed up is basically two guys who didn't know they were gay (or at least one of them didn't I think?) Started off on the wrong foot and eventually became lovers with a bunch of side characters sprinkled here and there, some of which I absolutely adored and some I couldn't stand to look at. The first few episodes were really off putting but it gets kinda better afterwards. There isn't really much depth to the plot, especially in the beginning but it gets kinda dark by the last 2-3 episodes so I guess it has...some......depth? Idk man, I just couldn't decipher what I was watching after a while lmao, but I guess some plots aren't meant to be that deep. Like seriously, the director could've changed the plot mid production and you literally won't realize because it was just the two main leads' daily life and interactions and how it led to the confession, then you have a bit of their life as a couple, the "issue" on ep 11, the finale, and then the credits roll.
Acting/Cast :
I'll start off with my thoughts on the cast in general. I personally liked the cast and I really liked the main couple. The side characters were good, especially Sky's family and Kim (goddamn how I wish I had a kim in my life lol) also, you know when an actor/actress had done their job in portraying the villain/antagonist when you hate the character they're portraying. I absolutely hated Moira(?) (we weren't spared from the ex-lover who doesn't know when to back off trope sadly) and Ace's Dad (whom I didn't bother to remember his name lol) but yeah, overall I liked watching how our main couple interacted with the other characters and was quite amused for the most part.
Now, onto the main point in this section, our main couple. The relationship between those two and Ace's character in the first 3-4 episodes didn't make sense at all, BUT, I would say that it got better after episode 4. Now let's talk about the chemistry between those two. Holy smokes the chemistry was through the ceiling! *cough* especially *cough* *cough* episode 11 *cough*, but the way they go from almost zero flavor to off the charts, steaming sweet cakes, face sucking vacuums cracks me up in all honesty. But anyhow, the actors did great considering the weird script that was presented to us as the final product.
Music/soundtrack :
Not much to say here, the music and ost were ok, not that great, but still quite cute. Some bgm did get on my nerves tho but that was me, you might enjoy it more than I did so there's that.
Production:
For a series that was done on somewhat of a low budget, this one has done quite well. They really did try to utilize every bit of their limited budget to the max so hats off to the production team!
Product placement:
Gmmtv's 2gether ain't got nothing on this one lol. They legit use a new bar of soap for everytime they shower and the way they had Sky's brother, Ken, promote products through his yt channel was kinda funny, still a better way for promoting tho lol.
And finally after all this looong long rant, you might be wondering, why do a lot of people like it if it's this messy? Well let me tell ya...... I have no clue why. Is this series great? No not necessarily. Is the storyline all over the place? You better believe it is, it also had me scratching my head here and there....yet somehow I couldn't bring myself to hate it, I just found it really amusing and I literally binge watched it in one day (that says a lot about me as a person hahahaha...ha) but anyway, it's literally like what another reviewer said, a guilty pleasure no one would admit to liking.
P.s: you might lose a few brain cells while watching so be prepared lol. I'm also writing this review while half asleep so sorry if my thought process ain't that coherent.
