Boring but Cute

This series was really cute and just unbelievably slow. I watched the entire show in 2x because I just could not sit through each of those scenes.

MUISC—

Not memorable in the slightest but wasn’t horrible so ??


STORY—

I mean let’s be real there’s no actual plot other than these 3? Couples trying to find their way. The first Main couple Paper and Sky had the best chemistry of the three couples of course. I’ve seen Tong is a few series before this one so I’m familiar with his work, but I have not seen anything from Fluke until this show and lord may I say GOOD JOB TO THAT MAN. He gave everything that was meant to be given.

The second couple Jeno and Chris were also pretty cute I guess. They focused more on the bully plot line if the show with this couple and like it wasn’t horrible. I see a lot of the comments saying “ATTENTION TO BULLYING” and tbh I felt like they skimmed over and brushed of a lot of the reality that comes with bullying and abusive relationships just to try and give the show some drama (but that’s just my opinion) . The actor that played Chris was a delight through the entire show I love him unconditionally and forever though I felt that he I could have been portrayed better he kinda just seemed like an ass up until the last 2 eps.

Couple number 3 I low key forgot about them until they popped up again. And I know they aren’t like a main couple but honestly the show could have done without them and gave us a little more screen some for Paper and Sky since we didn’t get much fluff outta them once they got together.

ACTING—

Like I said 10/10 for Fluke and The actor that played Chris ( I can’t remember his name) there wasn’t a since moment from either one of them I have to complain about. Thong was great too so kudos to him.

Episode 3 when they are Sky’s room dancing was 100/10 the best scene in the whole show. It was the little things that Fluke did that added so much more intimacy and emotion to their scenes together. The lingering hand touches and stares, the shaky breather filled with anxiety yet relief we he kisses Paper for the first time. The way Sky clenches at his shirt I’m heartache when his feelings aren’t reciprocated. That same breath of relief when Paper kisses him in the last episode but this time is feels different.

I was just really impressed with Flukes performance. He made a fan out of me immediately
I will say they did make me feel a little bad for the bully and the very last second.

Long story short if you’re into slow burn romance and don’t really care for an actual plot this is the show for you.
