New standard for K-BL

There is a lot of things that can be said about this series. One that stands out is that this is a whole different series that we are use to.

Of course the story isn't exceptional, it's actually soft. But man, they really know how to play with our feelings.

The acting was on point, little flaws but props to every single actor. I would highlight Go WooJin (Namgung) and Kamg YooSeok's hands ??? I mean, the guy knows how to Express his feelings through it.

There is no superfluous drama, though I really liked how they worked DaOn's identity crisis. Feel sad for him.

There is just one official couple, so don't hope for closure for everyone. The wink that there could be a SpinOff was cute, hope to see Seo-Lee story.

Namgung deserved better!

ShinTae is life!

Is not that bad as people complaints

Shocking title, I know... the thing is, to wrap up the entire series is a good ending. One of the main complaints I read here and in other forums is that the special is full of reused footage and so, that's a big lie.
Over the 1 hour and 19 minutes of the special, it has:
- 15 minutes of re-used footage (8 at the beginning and 7 at the start of the last third of the special)
- 4 minutes of bloopers at the end
- and 1 hour straight of new footage

So, don't believe that this is a summary of the whole S1 and S2.

Now, about the story, actually is meant to be a wrapping-up episode and it accomplishes its goal. I like that the actual wedding was short (around 9 minutes at the ceremony) because, actually, seeing a whole weeding preparation and so would take hours and it would be deadly boooring.
Don't mind too much about the plot, it has no drama, is just the closure for the series and they develop a good job, the house is mesmerizing (I fell in love with the house hahaha) and the happy ending was cute.

Don't look at this as a cinematographic wonder, is just a special episode for fans, nothing more. Enjoyable, yes... outstanding, well, no, but it doesn't have to, the whole series worth it.

It's a good series overall

Don't get me wrong, I liked the series, I liked the actors and I even liked the flaws that the show has... is just that I don't feel like it is one of the greatest shows ever as a lot of people usually say. So, to understand why I'm hesitant about it, please read.

Well, let's be honest, it wasn't the best story among alls, actually, there are a lot of flaws since the very beginning. My first complaint was that they don't show Tine responding to Green's confession, so I couldn't understand if Tine was a push-over, if he had an issue saying "no" to people -weird thing since he had to break up with his ex, so it means that he can be straightforward sometimes-, or another particularity of his personality. I forgive that flaw and continue with the show.

When we see their first interaction with Sarawat, somehow I get that Wat was into Tine (I didn't need to read the spoilers, it was kinda obvious), what I never understood was why he was so stubborn about talking with Tine, and after we learn that he was looking for him since the very beginning, that doubt was reinforced. Yes, I know he was kinda shy to finally met him, but, come on... Tine was following you on a bicycle, you could just pull over there and hear him.

The story goes on, they start to interact, I started to realize he was more into him than I expected, I found pretty interesting their dynamic and how Tine little-by-little started to notice Wat as a man and not just as a fake boyfriend.

The acting wasn't outstanding but it has a lot of peaks for some characters:
- When Tine cries because he couldn't finish the song,
- Wat's excitement to finally found Tine (I have to admit that I wanted to go into the screen and hug and kiss Wat when he was jumping so happy about founding him),
- how Man managed being insulted in Type's dinner (I wanted to kick them too),
- and Phukong crying in the bench after asking Mil to not see him; just to name some.

The storyline, I insist, wasn't the best among all, still entertaining. I think that one of their most remarkable things is actually that; the story was soft, easy to watch, and easy to follow, but that doesn't make a great series, if so, a good one. But, that's just my opinion.

The characters were so diverse that I found some interesting, others entertaining, others disgusting, and some just unbearable.

** I have to admit that I dislike how Green was so after Tine even when he made clear that he didn't like Green (and after we realize that he was just using Tine, that was worst.) buuuuut I also dislike how Man was so haunted because of Type, for me they both were in the same line, just that a lot of people loved "Man" and disliked "Green". For me, both behaviors were just too much.
After Green went back with Dim I found funny their relationship because is pretty common to see people acting like that in real life hahahaha and after Man got to be with Type, I realize that they were cute together. But, the path to it, was disgusting.

About Tine and Wat's relationship, I have to admit that I have never had a problem with the lack of kisses or skinship in Thai dramas, actually, I enjoyed more the couple dynamic than other things. For example:
- I got pleased by seeing Wat and Tine ignoring the yellow tape so they could eat together when Type went to their place,
- how they cuddle in the coach to sleep together,
- and when they look to each other's eyes.

For me, the lack of kisses meant nothing at all. What I couldn't understand was the whole drama about Pam, I know, they needed to extend one or two chapters of the series, but, it was just plain stupid, but it is what it is, so I can't complain too much hahahahaha

In the end, I get to understand Tine's low steam and why sometimes he acted the way he did.

Overall, I still believe that it was a good show, but couldn't find the "greatness" that I read over the Internet...

I didn't expected to like 'Why R U?' -even tho, I have some complaints ?-

Ok, I finally got to see 'Why R U?', tbh I just saw it for Saint since I'm following his work after LBC.

The first thing is that it really bored me in the first episodes ???? It took me 4 days to finally see chapters 1 and 2. I thought it would be a bad series, but I wanted to end it... was a good choice to stick to it.

In the end, I have to admit it was a series that I liked even more than LBC, so I want to give my own opinion over it:

Because anything is perfect, I want to start with some general flaws:
* The first thing that really bothers me about WRU was the concert... I mean, it was really awful to see them singing trying to make it look like it was music there, it was funny, but still... was that an editing issue?
* This is just my point of view, but, I couldn't understand why SaiFah and Fighter had to fight every single time with Zon and Tutor, I mean, as a child it's somewhat understandable, but as adults, more than that, straight adults... why do they have to do that?... to date, I haven't had met any real couple who started fighting in the way the start but is just a minor point.
* Some camera angles were awful... At first, they were seeing straight to the face, then the camera changes and they are in another position, I'm don't work in Hollywood, but it was something I had a hard time letting slip...
* The inconsistency about Tutor's family wealth... I don't know if I get something wrong, but I understood that Tutor's family was in bankruptcy, then they show his mother who lives in a pretty great house and she buy him the apartment, did they or did they not needed the money?
* The fluffy parts were meant to be for comic relief, I know, but I don't really like those over-the-top personalities, how the people at the bakery acted was just too much for me, I usually fast-forwarded those parts.

Now, let's talk about the characters:
+ Zol and their parents: I want to start with her since she is my less liked character of the regular cast. I totally didn't like Zol's attitude, the way she wasn't straightforward to rejected the guy, or how she pushed his other friend to keep texting such guy so she could forget about him, it was like playing with people... About their parents, they were so random that I don't have any opinion about them, the mother was really cute, tho.
+ HwaHwa: In the beginning, I felt bad for her since I thought she was soo in love with Fighter. Then she lost me when Fighter told her that every single time they fight or have any argument, she goes and talks to his father and her mother. Then I could understand that she is a spoiled brat who thinks that just bc is her, other people need to listen to her. In the end, she supports Tutor and Fight, but, the fact that she acted the way she did with Fighter in their relationship, still bothers me. I think Day was too good for her, but, let's put that in other comments hahaha
+ Minor Couples: I think that only Blue's love story was kinda my taste, I couldn't get to like the others couples.
+ Fighter's dad: I have to congratulate them for showing the first parent who is against the main couple's relationship (the parents from UWMA don't count since it was 30 years ago). I was kinda tired to see families too supportive tbh, it's stupid, but I couldn't relate to such families, is not that they don't exist, but I didn't get excited by them since I saw too many people like them in the series I have seen. In the end, he supports his son's relationship with Tutor, but, it was a fresh of air to see him hahaha
+ Tong (Tor's sister): for the other hand... props to the most real and human sister I have ever seen in this dramas. I know what I said about supportive family just a paragraph ago, but she was a hell of a character... I mean, the actress even showed how she was digesting the news about Tutor, and the advice she gives him was the most relatable I have ever seen, even the one she gave to Fighter. When they say goodbye at the airport, that was too real for me, she was a great character even tho she just appeared in one episode.
+ SaiFahZon: I'm gonna put them together bc I haven't seen their side story. But, the same issue I had with Fight being stubborn against Tutor, I had with those two together... I liked their personalities and I think that they worked pretty well by themselves and together, so they were a good addition.
+ Fighter: Ok ok, don't hate me... I loved the guy, I liked his performance, buuuuut the thing with his attitude -at first- against Tutor was somewhat incoherent for me. Saying that I have to admit that when he cried for Tutor... maaan, he gives his all in that scene alone. I'm gonna talk later about the couple's dynamic, but, when it comes to the character, he was a great asset to the series.
+ Tutor: Finally, the Main Character (at first, I thought it was Zon hahaha), I have to say that Tutor overcomes Pete. The way Saint portrayed Tutor was just amazing. I have to admit that I hated Pete's passiveness sometimes and his soft voice was sometimes unbearable, but, Tutor WOOOW! Props to him. I couldn't help but to like him from the very beginning, the way he was so calm about HwaHwa botters me sometimes, I never understood if he was into her or just saw her as a friend, but I'm so glad that he passed from her. He understood first his feelings and was understanding about Fighter's doubtfulness in the series. I saw a Tutor dealing with real problems, I even feel relate to the sadness he exudes when he got rejected from too many jobs, there was a day when I felt exactly the same. This is one of my fav characters to date. btw, Does Saint have any fetish about ending his series on the beach? hahahahaha

At last, I wanna talk about major points and couples dynamic:
- The settlement was enjoyable, the music was great and the beach scenes were outstanding. I even wanna travel to Thai just for the beaches hahahaha
- The pansexuality of the four main characters, I mean, they def. are not straight, neither gay... maybe Bi, but I go with pansexuals since Fight said that "Tutor was the only person he had feelings for...", I really think that they are pansexuals and that was good to see in a series.
- SaiFahZon Relationship: After the usual hating they two had, I have to admit that they became one of the cutest couples I have ever seen on screen. And it wasn't fluffy, was just cute. They were understanding to each other's feelings, the way SaiFah protected Zon, and how Zon took care of him when he got sick, I totally have to see their side story.
- Tutor/Fight: At first, I thought Tutor was gonna be so passive as Pete but it wasn't the case, the thing I loved the most about this couple was how mature they were, lest just ignore when Fight's dad talked to Tutor. The fact that they were both straights and thought too deeply about their feelings, was gold. Also, I have to admit that they were really committed to the lovely parts, the sex, the kisses, I bet that Zee got hard in some scenes, I mean, how could they not feel anything after all they did? As a couple, they were a great improvement from what I was used to in other dramas, I still love more PuphaTian than FighTor, but after seeing this couple, I don't need AePete anymore hahahaha

Oh! Before I forget... could Saint get a role as top or inter at least? I can see a lot of potential on him about it hahahaha

I don't think is anything left to said... I just have to admit that this was a great series, I def. gonna rewatched a lot of times.

If you get to read to this part, thank you...

What Nitiman did right (among all the flaws it has).

Is not a secret that Nitiman is not the series of the year, I can see it getting between 6.5 to 7 through the time when more viewers without the hype of the weekly came to see it.

Buut, I don't want to talk about its flaws, a lot of people have already stated them. I want to highlight some of the greatest things I see in this series that make me feel really satisfied with it.

1. Keam's confusion.
I really enjoyed how Nitiman showed a character that wasn't meant to be bad but was just confused with his feelings towards his girlfriend, his first love, his friend, and -overall- himself. A lot of people complained about him not decided who he really loves, and how he ghosted his girlfriend... actually, I think that the lack of background setting of his storyline makes this character hard to understand, but when it comes to his weird feelings I got related. I mean, feelings ain't easy, a lot of people think that love someone when, actually, they are in love with someone else. Me, myself, got through something like that with one of my ex-girlfriends, it was hard, I thought that I loved her but also came to the picture one past love, and things got worst... so, presenting a character that is that confused and that apparently is into three persons without touching the polyamorous thing, was a great representation of a lot of people struggles in relationships in real life. So, great doing here.

2. How they don't make Aim the villain.
I think that the way they worked Aim's character was well done. Some people theorized that she was a villain in the making, but in the end, she was the mastermind behind the group bringing BomJin together.
SIDENOTE: I know that I wasn't gonna talk about the flaws, but I really hate the feeling that Jin was manipulated to fell for Bom, I mean, it looked like it wasn't his choice, everyone was behind the plan to make them a couple, I just think that Jin was really naive there and end up with Bom because of his friend's actions. If they were not creating a lot of situations and saying a lot of things to make him fell for Bom I don't think it will be that easy for them to be a couple, #JusticeForJin

3. Jay and Ball.
Weird, huh?
Actually, I think that these characters were the most intriguing and interesting in the whole series. There was no character development for them, but somehow it feels like it was. I would love to see a season two focused on the couples of KeamBall and SongJay (Love Stage doesn't count, they are totally different characters hahahaha)

4. Bom's mom.
I love supportive fathers -of course- and I do enjoy non-supportive ones too because life is full of both of them. But I have never seen in any drama so far a father that speaks so clearly about how there is an expectation about what we want for our children and that when these things don't go the way we want it's gonna be disappointing but it doesn't mean that we are gonna hate or make things difficult for our children, in the end, we want them to be happy too.. and I do love that they embody that with Bom's mom. She was so straightforward about it and I stan.
Sidenote #2: I could be the kind of father that would play my son's boyfriend (if it is the case) that kind of joke just for the sake of the joke... so, 2 points more for her hahahaha

5. Their quotidianity.
I have read in a lot of forums and subreddits how people complain about how series don't show them studying or eating properly as normal persons. Here they do!!! Even tho, now people argue that it was too much, so crap you people, stop complaining about everything. (Pardon my french).

6. The length of the series.
I do believe that I would have ended hating the series if it would have had one more episode, so I think that they did right there.


I think Nitiman is an ok series at best and it deserves a chance for newcomers to see it, so hoping someone can enjoy it.

See ya!

Why, YYY, WHY?

Ok, this is a hell of a trainwreck, one of the messiest, most stupid, incoherent, over-the-top dramas I have ever seen. From the beginning to the end it was just a whole bunch of crap here and there, and, somehow, I liked it.

Let's gonna honored the show by doing a mess of a review because there is a lot to say and I don't know how to start. Since the disclaimer at the beginning I knew it was gonna be a bad drama -and it was-, but let's just focus on the positive.

* I don't know if I liked the NottPun story bc everything else was a trainwreck or if it was bc it was a good plot. But I think that the background of their love story was enjoyable. I would love it too if that would have been a serious show. Well, that until the special which I really didn't like as much as the original series.

* I've just realized that forehead kisses are the real deal in Thai BL, I mean, you know that they are serious when someone kisses the other on the forehead. That's kinda more important than lips kisses.

* I felt bad for Arm but also I admire him, he stepped out when things got serious between Nott and Pun, that was something to admire.

* Props to the series, I haven't seen a lot of dramas, but this is the first time I see a straight rejection, Nott was serious to Arm, didn't involve his feelings for Pun, and say straight forward. In LBC when Can rejected Tin it wasn't really a rejection, I just felt that he was confused, but wasn't really rejected him. Somehow in UWMA, it wasn't a straight rejection to Alex too, so I think this is the first time I see that in a show.

* Ohm was a black horse there, he was the goofy character that can be serious when things matter. I can see that kind of person in real life. In the end, it was a good one.

* The insecurities that Nott had about being an orphan and don't have anything to offer to Pun, that was rough, boy... it was something real, I have met some people who struggle with the same things, so it was a good catch. Well, after he realizes his real feelings things got better, but, for a moment it was great.

* I found it funny that Yoon (the MC) sometimes couldn't hold the laugh, you can see him laughing in a lot of moments through the show...

* It's sad that for a series that is +18, the kisses weren't better :( my only complaint until now.

* The special wasn't thaaaaaaaat good.

* I thought that Pun was the only normal character on it and it resulted to be Arm.

* Props to them to make a series like this work with so little cast...

* I love the fact that they used Why R U?'s OST, I know is the same director, but, the songs fit good in YYY too.

* Last but definitely not least, Nott, Pun, Arm, and Pao are so fucking hot...

* The first episode of the special was so awkward, not as the show, but, I felt like Yoon and Talay (the actors) weren't enjoying that so much.


Well, I don't consider this the BL of the century, but for someone who was looking for something just for laziness purposes, it was entertaining.

Reminders was the fresh closure I needed

Well, like most of the people around everywhere, I was so bumped when I saw LBC2, first of all, TinCan was my fav couple (AePete 2nd fav) and not to see Pete on LBC2 was so sad, especially since Emo Ae was not my taste at all...

I read through the forums what happened by the time with Ae's former management studio and Pete's and why they weren't on LBC2, so I can just hope to see LBC3 or any kind of special to get the AePete's story closing properly.

Going through that I found Reminders and it was so interesting to see the couples of LBC (haven't seen Love Sick, sorry, actors not my taste haha), I know that they switch personalities for TinCan, and actually, I'm ok with it, I think that Tin needed some happiness on his life and things worked well.

Buuuuuut, seeing Reminders after LBC2 let me get the closure I needed for AePete, actually.... for me, Ae softened enough after Pete's absence and I feel like Pete get to grow up as a person which makes him more confident... the fact that the series shows them in a normal couple issue, makes me feel relief about their relationship. It led me to see them as the couple I wanted from LBC and to think of them as life-long partners.

Reminders remind us that TinCan (2Wish) needed to uplift their communication and that AePete (SonPin) needed to rebuild their trust.

I feel served about the original couples... I would be glad to see LBC3 or a special, but, for now, I feel ok with this ending.

Good series, good actors, (sometimes) bad editing but we can live with it...

While seeing this series I found it so funny how people complained about Pharm saying 'P'Dean' every five minutes, obviously are people who never saw Tree Of Heaven and heard Hana's only line in the entire series: 'Yeon-seo-oppa', after ToH, heard P'Dean was pice of cake haha

Well, about the drama I have to say that I really really loved it until the last episode. Don't get me wrong I found it really catchy, I loved the storyline and the fact that it was about a kind of reincarnation it was good... I loved it.

Well let's talk about the characters:

Dean: It's the character I couldn't really-totally like. I mean, I liked him, his interaction with Pharm was good and the chemistry was a real. The thing is that I see him so plain, no real development, is the same guy we met in the first minutes until the very end... his brothers love him and his friends are his friends just because, I couldn't get why people are so attached to him besides his looks. Even his memories weren't too impactful to the series like Phram's, but, let's just say that it was for the way the writers created him and not for Ohm's acting skills. I think he is needed for the sake of the plot, but I could be fine with another character as well...

Intouch: other that I don't really like... but here is because I don't like Earth as an actor, I saw this before LBC, and even there I couldn't get to like Earth, found him soooooo overdramatic, even more than Fluke... But I have to admit that his chemistry with Kao was greater than DeanPhram, so I forgive him hahaha

WinTeam: Team was cute as a character, and I'm not gonna argue about him bc I do like his relationship with Win, I'm waiting for Between Us before saying anything about them. I do believe they lack screentime and people who read the novel helped me to understand how their relationship grew to the point they were in an open relationship, also I have to admit that the 'I can't sleep' scene was cute... so gonna wait for them.

Pharm: It's funny that I liked his acting skills better than most of the cast (even tho, he is not my fav actor), there were some parts where he was crying and when I really felt his charisma to share the feeling of the moment, props to him. The reason why I don't like the end of the series is bc I really found it pretty stupid the In's takeover Pharm in the last episode, I did not find it credible at all (and the mother's acting in that scene makes it more funny than dramatic hahaha). I loved the recipes and the food, also I do believe his character really grew up through the series, I liked him. In the scene when he met his sister, wow both actors bring it all there, so he must be this high.

Manaow: I can't forget her... come on, the woman was the hit! I love her... I have to admit that I didn't want to see LBC for any reason until I felt for Sammy's performance and it makes me go to LBC so I could see her again, sidenote, I liked LBC overall and not just for Sammy but she was the one who brings me there... So she is a great mention here hahaha I can bet that everyone laughed so hard when she felt in the last minutes of the ep17, prove me wrong! haha

Korn: Ok ok I got a crush on him... maaaan Kao was so fucking great as Korn. I think is the only character I don't have any complaint of, the scene where he is with his brothers talking about the names of Kord's future children was my fav of the whole series... I do believe he would have been a better Dean than Ohm, but I also believe that making him the first life was good too, his chemistry with Earth was dope I do felt when he shoots himself to death, that scene was so well developed that I couldn't help but take him as my #1 character of the series. Now that the series has ended, I hope we can see a side story of Korn and Intouch and not just a piece of memories.

Now about the series:

I liked the plot, it was something new for me and really interesting. Only thing is that they never cleared up if In and Korn were reborn or just their spirits and memories traveled to their descendants. Aside from that, it was a good series.

What I don't really like was the last drama, about In taking over Pharm, I mean for what we saw about In's character it was unbelievable that he would go again and tried to take his life, also that the "father" knew that Pharm was gonna go to the apartment it was weird... but I forgive them. I also didn't like that In never met his old friend :( hope they met in the afterlife...

Well, here my report, back to you, Joaquín. (LATAM joke )

The best way to enjoy Water Boyy is not to think of it as a BL Series

First of all, yeah... the acting was bearable at best. Even tho, right now I don't care about the acting anymore unless it's a real-real baaaad acting hahaha so I'm not gonna go to deep in this matter.

* One thing I read through the Internet is that people didn't feel ok with FahPan, actually, I liked their relationship. Most of the comments were about why turn Pan into a straight or Bi, and I ask, why not? I mean, people can change tastes, if we turn straights into gay/pan/bisex/etc for the sake of a BL, why don't give more room for queer to change too? So, at least for me, it wasn't a big deal. But I have to agree that the beginning of them was odd, I will never understand how do people fall in love with the one who is bullying you? I mean, I know about Stockholm and Lime syndrome, but still... in the end, I think they are a good match, they balance the relationship pretty well and Fah can manage Pan if he wants to, is just that he doesn't want to sometimes hahaha Also, I know they seem like good friends, but, aren't the best relationships like that? I think they did a good couple.

Speaking of Pan, I don't see her as a hateful character like a lot of people said through the forums. Actually, she reminds me of my sister who grew up being the only girl among 10 boys (cousins), she is kinda thought, she likes to fight and can knock down a guy but still have her femininity... So Pan, being lesbian acted just like other boys, yes, she was rough but she was rough just with her teammates, she never bullied anyone outside the club, and I read that one of the main issues was her bullying around the college, I can't remember that she did that. Among his friends, well, we usually bully our friends, didn't we? so I think she ain't that bad. The only thing that was out of her hand -as long as I remember- is the way she bullied Fah because she was jealous, that's unforgivable, but, the only rant about that attitude actually.

* Then we have MinWan, even when I kinda like them as side characters, they didn't grow too much into me. I understand why they ending falling for each other, but I don't see them as an outstanding couple. I don't mind their screentime but their inconsistently ups and downs, it was just too much. One thing that I believe was nonsense was the addition of Coach Mai, that was You (the Netflix show) before You. And she added that weird feeling to their relationship, I wanted to skip all her scenes (even when she is hot) because I didn't understand why(?) she was so important even being Min's ex.

* Finally, we have WaiiApo, I need to say that the kisses weren't what people promised me. They were 'better' but at the same time weren't «good». But I won't mind them, Newwie improved with Tay in DBK so I feel served hahaha. Somehow, I understand why Waii couldn't break up with Fay, let's be honest, it's not easy to understand that kind of feeling if you have been living all your life thinking that you are straight and somehow a boy comes into your life and changes everything. I kinda understand why a lot of fans were disappointed about it (I read the rant in a lot of discussions) but, at least me, I understand why that development. I also understand why Fay kept around knowing that Waii had mixed feelings. I mean, I think we all have done the same when we are so in love and don't want to lose someone, it happens, so, for me, that was a real development (don't talk about the acting for it). But, I have to be honest, I really think it was more of Waii's fault for all that drama. For someone so imposed towards others, he was kinda indecisive, and non-straightforward. His relationship with Apo was also weird, my only explanation is that Apo had a crush on Waii since the beginning, plus the admiration that he had for Coach Tee made him being so naive.

* The pace of the series was sometimes rushed and sometimes too slow, it's something that we need to endure hahaha but overall was ok. I think that at the end of the season the story was better. I think that they lose a chance to a good love story with KluayAchi, they were more interesting than MinWan, even when -again- Kluay was more kind of a bully than a prospect.
I read that the ending was rushed and that disappointed a lot of people, I think they were talking about the championship. TBH since I realized that that for a series called Water Boyys they spent so little time on the water, I didn't expect a big championship so I was ok with it hahaha

The best of the series:
- The development of the relationship between Waii and Coach Tee, I think they managed pretty well that storyline.
- Apo's hotness.
- The rehearsal for the show, I have the biggest laugh seeing them all dressed as princesses and running through the college.

The worst of the series:
- The drama about the club, I don't think that there was a really good reason for all the problems that the club needed to go through... mostly were easily fixed but the characters took too much of it (except for the championship)
- It wasn't outstanding, just entertaining.
- The almost rape and how it was -or wasn't, actually- addressed, heck the what?

Overall, you can watch it just to lose some time but, again, is not the drama of the century, so, just enjoy the ride and maybe you will never look back again...
