I have fallen out of love
I wanted to wait until the last episode airs before I write a review, but now I'm not sure if I will watch this last episode.
If you want to know, why this series is so great, read other reviews. Whatever those reviews say, it’s mostly true: the series is very well written, well acted, with an interesting and engaging plot, very well developed and complex characters, and some mature storytelling you don’t see often in this genre.
We have different people with different personalities and different sexualities: a hetero girl (Pear), a hetero guy (Knot), a open gay gay (Max), a gay guy in the closet (Pisaeng), a guy who has to figure out his sexuality (Kawi). That’s an ensemble of characters I have never seen before in any other BL. So 10 points for that. Of course this constellation with a love triangle in the middle causes lots of drama and complex issues.
But again, read other reviews if you only want to hear about the good stuff.
About the bad stuff: I tend to fall in love with many GMMTV series until episode 7. This series is no exception. The first half was fun, crazy, exciting, lovely. The second half not so much. Reading comments on MDL, twitter, YouTube I really wonder why so many people are unable to see those characters for who they really are. They are able to recognize that Kawi is problematic, but they are completely blind about Pisaeng, because they only see his love as pure, innocent and romantic. He isn't portrayed as a bad person, but he is seriously dense, and I think this character has not much depth and not much brains. I must say I liked Pear more as a character, and thought she was the least problematic. Still, those people love each other, life is complicated and things can get out of control. So the writing isn't the problem, that's why I rate this series rather high. Objectively speaking it's good, but if I talk about my personal feelings: I have fallen out of love. At the end it was just all a bit too cheesy, a bit too sad, a bit too depressing, a bit too slow. I hoped to see them being together, happy and crazy, but in ep 11 we only got to see a montage of some future scenes without any story behind it. If they had some dialouge it was a sad conversation. I thought they would be a fun couple, but not really. Maybe they will fix that in ep 12, but I don't think that a single episode can change how I felt since ep 7.
Well ... what else?
I think I'm now as tired as Krist is looking since ep 10. They should have ended it earlier, give us a special Our Sky episode and everything is fine, but I guess I'm the only one who thinks sometimes less is more.
