The Episode 5 We Were Waiting For

Rather than a special episode, this episode plays out more like a continuation of the original series and provides closure for the couple.

If you've been following the rest of the series (which you should be, considering you're reading a review for the special episode), the relationship between the two main characters is ambiguous at best by the end of it. The last episode of the main series ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, which would have been strange had this episode not been planned. This episode provides more context to the beach trip and brings back the other characters from the series.

Although the other characters don't provide a lot of substance for this episode, it was cute to see the interactions between them. That being said, this episode is quite fluffy and only minutely contributes to the actual story line. Despite that, I wouldn't really consider this series complete without this special and view this more as an episode 5 to the main series.

Overall, this is an integral addition to Roommate The Series and personally, I have a better appreciation for the main series now that this has been released and the cliffhanger has been cleared up.

Watching this show is my only regret

You would think, with an all-star cast such as this, GMMTV would put out something actually worth your time. Don't bother with hope though, as this show will fail to meet even your lowest expectations. Despite how cute Khao looks in all those oversized shirts, the character visuals are there to serve as a distraction to the complete mess that is going on in the foreground. If you're prepared to be colossally disappointed by a story that somehow manages to cram every important detail into the final episode without giving any closure for the previous 9, then this is the series for you.

But don't worry - what the show lacks in logic, it makes up for with characters that truly never get what they deserve. This series has characters that you will love, and a few that you will really, REALLY hate. Which, honestly, is the only motivation to finish the series in my opinion. The acting is one of the only redeeming qualities (aesthetic cast aside), and it's clear that every cast member has done their best to bring the story to life (unfortunately). Although the comedic and dramatic timing for the series is comically out of place - the timing of the comedic moments is honestly funnier than the comedy itself purely for the distress that it causes in my only functioning brain cell - at least the cast commits and gets it done.

Really though: GMMTV, you've really disappointed me with this one. Thanks for reminding me that my standards aren't actually that low.
