Why wasn't the Music/Soundtrack Person fired?

I understand the heavy handed way many rom-coms use their soundtrack - background music - but, the person who was on Dinosaur Love was either on something or, is mentally unbalanced. Dear gawd why did they think that preschool music background was appropriate for 80 percent of the production?? It got to the point that I had to turn the volume down to level 4 - barely hearing it but, still feeling like I was part of not just watching it with subtitles to keep myself from throwing something at the screen. And, I found the OST main song to be way too similar to other productions. Because of its style and familiarity, I just started ignoring it. Give us something stronger like we here in A Tale of 1000 stars.

I noticed the subtitle group does not know the difference between someone sighing and signing. Every time someone mentioned the other person's sighs - it shows up as signs. But, that is forgivable - and you get used to it.

Don't look for continuity. Dropped storylines. Disposable characters. Bad editing. It's all there. I appreciate the respect and waiting for consent. He needs it after Mek messed with him so much.

The acting is strong enough to carry everyone through all the episodes. And, you do care about a few of the characters. Some - you wish could be better developed but, it wasn't on the writer's minds and the director wasn't paying attention.

This particular series seems to pay attention to its larger - female audience and discounts any feelings or, connections a young man may be looking for. They can understand being abused by bullies and controlling partners. They may be able to connect with absentee parents. I love that they have given everyone a safe group of friends (very important during high school and college years). And, I appreciate that while they kept selling the series as uncut on the platform - it meant nothing when it came to actual content. If you aren't quite sure what that means - watch Big Dragon The Series with Yai and Mangkorn.
