A Total Letdown

Honestly, this show started pretty well and it was ruined from the middle to the ending. First of all, for a season dedicated to Mark and Kit, we saw them very little. Instead, we got stuck with the unnecessary scenes and storyline of the kids and the unresolved truth about Pha.

I get that the actor who originally played Pha withdrew from the show but did we really need that storyline? I know that changing the actors for a character might be bad but I would definitely prefer if they had gone with a different actor. Who really cares? We saw a different actor as Pha at the end but he's not what I expected to be honest. I'm not saying he's not attractive or anything but it seemed like he was too old to be Pha. And the big reveal wasn't even shocking. I guessed that Pha will come back eventually since he was neither dead nor in a bloody coma. (I would prefer the coma thing btw at least we would have an explanation about him)

The fantasy element was just outrageous. Did we even need it? The scenes of Mark and Kit were the best. I wish they had been longer. I felt like they had really good chemistry, but, IMO, it was wasted with unnecessary sub-plots. Wayu and Thanu were just a bad match I think. It would be better if we saw a heartbroken Wayu dumped by Pha and just tries to overcome his sadness. But instead, he went on to be with someone who is obviously a horrible person, considering his treatment of Phai and how he changed his mind so quickly about whom he liked.

Overall, the nonsensical fantasy thing and Pha's story made a very negative impact on me, so I gave the story 5 ratings. The acting and music were good and maybe I would rewatch but only Mark and Kit's scenes, they saved the show. Apart from that, nothing else is worth remembering.
