A Dissapointment to Be Sure

The show is a disappointing adaptation of a novel, suffering from a lackluster plot, awkward acting, and poor execution. The storyline is riddled with clichés, slow pacing, and uninteresting developments, failing to engage the audience. While the cast, particularly MosBank, is visually appealing, their on-screen chemistry is unconvincing, and their performances feel forced and awkward. The music is forgettable, adding nothing to the overall experience. Ultimately, the show lacks any rewatch value and fails to live up to the expectations set by its source material, leaving viewers with little reason to recommend it.

1. Story: The plot, or rather the lack thereof, is a significant issue with this show. There's no engaging narrative that hooks the viewer, leaving the entire experience feeling hollow and uninteresting. The show is riddled with clichés and predictable moments, making it feel uninspired and repetitive. What’s more, the pacing is dreadfully slow, with little to no significant developments occurring throughout. This creates a sense of stagnation, where nothing substantial seems to happen, making the entire show quite boring to watch.

The original novel, which the show is based on, has its own shortcomings. While it suffers from a weak plot, the novel at least compensates with abundant smut, which might appeal to certain readers. However, the novel's inclusion of unexpected elements like mpreg (male pregnancy) is jarring and out of place. The show, unfortunately, fails to even leverage the novel’s smutty aspects to create memorable or enticing scenes. The absence of any compelling NC scenes further diminishes the show's impact, leaving it both unremarkable and forgettable.

The subplot involving past lives is poorly executed, adding to the overall awkwardness of the narrative. These flashbacks are marred by terrible costumes and makeup, making it difficult to take these scenes seriously. As for the main plot, it’s your typical employee-CEO romance, but without any of the tension or chemistry that usually drives these stories. The execution is so lackluster that it feels like a missed opportunity, with the characters’ interactions and the progression of their relationship feeling forced and unnatural. Overall, the awkward plot progression and stilted dialogue make it hard to stay engaged, leading to a lot of fast-forwarding through the episodes.

The only saving grace for many viewers seems to be the main couple, which leads us to the next issue.

2. Acting/Cast: The cast is undeniably attractive, with MosBank being particularly easy on the eyes. Their visual appeal is undeniable, especially Bank, who stands out with his charm. However, beyond their looks, there’s little to praise. The acting is awkward and lacks depth, which could be a result of poor direction or the weak script. Watching MosBank interact on screen doesn’t evoke any strong emotions—certainly not the warm, fuzzy feelings one might expect from a romantic pairing. Instead, their chemistry is unconvincing, often feeling forced or unnatural.

At times, they seem distant, as if they’re not entirely familiar with each other, which is surprising given their close relationship off-screen. The NC scenes, which could have been a highlight, are instead bland and devoid of any real sensuality. This is a rare instance where the couple’s real-life chemistry doesn’t translate to their on-screen characters, leaving viewers disappointed.

Many fans might have been drawn to the show by the heavy marketing of MosBank’s relationship, with some believing their connection to be real. This anticipation of seeing their chemistry play out on screen is met with disappointment, as their on-screen relationship feels less genuine than their off-screen interactions. For fans of the couple, it might be more satisfying to watch their fan service on platforms like TikTok rather than enduring the awkwardness of the show.

As for the rest of the cast, they too are visually appealing but lack any memorable qualities. Their performances are just as awkward, with stilted dialogue delivery and moments where they simply stand around, reminding the viewer that this is, indeed, a poorly executed TV show. There’s no standout performance or character that leaves a lasting impression, making it difficult to care about anyone other than the main couple, and even that is a stretch.

3. Music: The music in the show is as forgettable as the plot and acting. It’s commercial and bland, offering nothing that stands out or enhances the viewing experience. The soundtrack fails to evoke any emotional response or complement the scenes, leaving the show feeling even more flat and uninspired.
Rewatch Value

4. Rewatch Value: This show has little to no rewatch value. Once you’ve seen it, there’s no real incentive to revisit it. There aren’t any standout scenes or memorable moments that would warrant a second viewing. The initial expectation of something more, perhaps based on the hype surrounding the main couple, is met with disappointment. The show is an attempt to stretch out the plot of a “porn with plot” fanfic into something more substantial, but it ultimately fails. The result is a hollow shell of a story that lacks the very elements that made the original fanfic somewhat enjoyable.

For those who are fans of MosBank, there’s hope that they might be cast in better projects in the future—ones that can truly showcase their talents as actors. But as it stands, this show does not do them justice and is not worth recommending to anyone.

Great Acting, Fluffy Story

"Cherry Blossoms After Winter" (2022) is a South Korean drama that follows the story of two young men, Hae Bom and Tae Seong, who navigate their relationship as they transition from childhood friends to something more. After Hae Bom's parents pass away, he moves in with Tae Seong's family, and the two grow up together under the same roof. As they reach high school, they find themselves in the same class, which brings their feelings for each other to the surface.

The series focuses on their developing relationship, exploring the emotions and challenges they face as they realize their feelings for each other go beyond friendship. Despite the typical school setting and familiar romance tropes, the show is a heartfelt exploration of first love, the fear of rejection, and the comfort found in each other's company. The drama is light on angst, with the main tension coming from their internal struggles and the eventual acceptance of their relationship by those around them.

"Cherry Blossoms After Winter" is characterized by its gentle, sweet tone, making it a comforting watch for fans of soft, romantic stories. The chemistry between the leads and the simplicity of the plot contribute to its appeal, offering a tender and uplifting portrayal of young love.

Story: The narrative structure of this show follows a well-trodden path, presenting a plotline that is as clichéd and predictable as it gets. The storyline centers around two students who gradually fall in love while living under the same roof, which is a familiar trope in many romantic dramas. The climax arrives when the mother discovers their relationship, but instead of leading to significant conflict or drama, the couple easily convinces her of their love. The series concludes with a proposal, wrapping up the story in a neat, if unsurprising, bow.

The characters are equally conventional. Both main leads are portrayed as ordinary students who just happen to be slightly better looking than average. Their family backgrounds are normal, and their school environment is equally unremarkable. The story’s primary focus is on the progression of their relationship and their everyday interactions, which can be mundane if you prefer more action or drama in your shows. However, this very simplicity is what makes the show comforting for some viewers. The lack of significant drama or tension creates a light, fluffy atmosphere that can be soothing to watch, especially if you’re looking for something easy and heartwarming. The only moment of emotional conflict is when one character confesses their love, mistakenly believing the other has rejected them. This misunderstanding is quickly resolved in the span of a single episode, leading to a happy and stable relationship from that point on. Even the mother's initial disapproval barely disrupts the couple’s happiness, making this show ideal for those who prefer their romance without angst or turmoil.

Acting/Casting: Given the simplicity of the plot, the show relies heavily on the performances of its cast and the overall visual appeal to keep viewers engaged. The cinematography is polished and visually pleasing, giving the series an expensive, high-quality look despite its lack of a complex narrative. The two leads, in particular, shine in their roles. Their chemistry is palpable, and they convincingly portray a deep, affectionate love that makes their relationship believable and endearing. The absence of explicit NC scenes doesn’t detract from the intensity of their connection; instead, the actors use subtle expressions and interactions to convey the depth of their feelings.

Unfortunately, the supporting cast doesn’t quite measure up to the leads. While they are visually appealing and contribute to the overall aesthetic of the show, their performances can feel somewhat stiff or awkward at times. This inconsistency in acting might be noticeable, but it doesn’t detract significantly from the enjoyment of the show, as the focus remains squarely on the main couple. For viewers drawn in by the leads' adorable chemistry and the lighthearted tone of the series, the less impressive ensemble cast can be easily overlooked.

Music: The soundtrack of the show is serviceable, doing what it needs to without leaving a lasting impression. The music enhances the scenes appropriately, but none of the tracks are likely to stick with you once the episode ends. It fulfills its role in the background, complementing the visuals and acting without overshadowing them.

Rewatch Value: When it comes to rewatching, the show’s appeal varies depending on your preferences. The episodes leading up to the confession might feel a bit slow or uneventful, as they focus more on building up the relationship rather than delivering any major plot twists or surprises. However, once the confession occurs and the couple officially gets together, the series hits its stride. These post-confession episodes are brimming with sweetness and charm, making them perfect for rewatching whenever you need a dose of feel-good romance.

Despite its predictable plot and occasional lapses in acting, this show possesses a certain hidden charm that makes it worth recommending, especially to those who appreciate a light, fluffy love story. The strong chemistry between the leads and the comforting, drama-free narrative offer a relaxing viewing experience that can easily become a go-to comfort show for fans of the genre.

One of My Favorite Comfort Shows

"Ai Long Nhai" is a Thai BL (Boys' Love) drama that centers around the blossoming relationship between Ai, the son of a powerful businessman, and Nhai, a carefree and playful university student. After a tragic incident in Ai's life, he is sent to study abroad, but upon his return to Thailand, he meets Nhai. Despite their contrasting personalities—Ai being more reserved and serious, while Nhai is fun-loving and easygoing—the two are drawn to each other.

As they navigate their relationship, the show delves into the dynamics of their romance, exploring themes of love, friendship, and family expectations. Their relationship is challenged by external pressures and internal conflicts, but they work through these obstacles together, learning to understand and support one another.

Story: Let’s be honest—"AI Long Nhai" doesn’t boast a plot that will have you on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting the next episode. In fact, the storyline is rather simple and light, without much in the way of dramatic twists or complex character arcs. The series revolves around AI and Nhai, two university students who slowly fall in love, and while there’s a sprinkle of drama here and there, it’s nothing compared to more intense shows like "Absolute Zero" or even "A Boss and A Babe." The characters don't break up and actually talk to each other, working out their problems out together, instead of letting it fester in to something more. Nhai might seem rather irrational at times, especially in regards to his jealousy, but because of Ai's compassionate and caring nature, Nhai's childish attitude don't cause issues for the couple (at least in the long run), and makes them grow closer.

What sets "AI Long Nhai" apart is its fluffiness. This show is a breath of fresh air, filled with sweet, feel-good moments that make it incredibly easy to watch. AI and Nhai’s relationship is refreshingly healthy; they communicate openly, avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and truly complement each other in every way. AI is the caring, organized one who likes to take care of others, while Nhai is more laid-back and enjoys being taken care of. Their dynamic is full of green flags, making them one of the most endearing couples in the BL genre.

However, if you’re looking for a show with a tightly woven plot or high-quality dialogue, "AI Long Nhai" might not be for you. The story is very much focused on the day-to-day lives of these two characters, with most of the drama being fairly low-stakes. There’s a subplot involving Ai's mother that I personally didn't like and skipped, but aside from that, the series is all about the lighthearted, unicorns-and-rainbows kind of romance. It’s not a quality production in the traditional sense, but it’s the kind of show that makes you smile and gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, which is why it’s rated so highly despite its flaws.

Acting/Cast: The casting of Meen and Ping as the leads is spot-on. Both actors are young enough to convincingly portray university students, and their chemistry is palpable. Nhai’s character is so similar to Ping’s real-life personality that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Ping brings an infectious energy and sweetness to Nhai, making him a delight to watch. Despite this being his first show, he delivers a performance that feels natural and unforced.

Meen, as AI, is the perfect counterpart to Ping’s Nhai. Their on-screen relationship is full of affection and genuine emotion, making their love story believable and engaging. However, it’s important to note that this isn’t a high-quality production. The series looks and sounds cheap, and the acting, while endearing, may not meet the high standards that some viewers expect. But if you can overlook these technical shortcomings, the genuine connection between the leads more than makes up for it.

Music: Unfortunately, the music in "AI Long Nhai" is largely forgettable. It doesn’t detract from the show, but it doesn’t add much either. The soundtrack serves its purpose, but you’re unlikely to find yourself humming any of the tunes after the credits roll.

Rewatch Value: For those who connect with the show’s lighthearted, feel-good vibe, it’s the ultimate comfort watch. It’s the kind of series you can rewatch over and over without getting tired of it. On the other hand, if you’re not charmed by the first few episodes, it’s probably not going to grow on you. The show was quite popular on YouTube, indicating that there’s a large audience who loves it, but it’s definitely a matter of personal taste.

Conclusion: "AI Long Nhai" is a series that may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those who appreciate its fluffy, feel-good nature, it’s a gem. It’s a show that you watch not for the plot, the production quality, or the music, but for the way it makes you feel. The chemistry between the leads and the simple, sweet story of their relationship is what keeps viewers coming back for more. If you’re in the mood for a light, heartwarming series that doesn’t take itself too seriously, "AI Long Nhai" is worth giving a try. Just keep in mind that it’s not a show you watch for high-quality production or complex storytelling—it’s a show you watch to feel good.

Great Chemistry; Weak Plot

"TharnType: The Series" is a BL drama that delves into the complexities of a relationship between two very different characters, Type, a homophobic university student, and Tharn, his openly gay roommate. The series attempts to tackle heavy themes such as homophobia, trauma, and the journey towards acceptance. While the story is compelling in its boldness, it is also problematic in several key areas, particularly in how it portrays the relationship between the main characters.

Story: The narrative of "TharnType" is intense, focusing on the evolution of Type from a deeply homophobic individual to someone who learns to accept and love another man. However, the journey to this point is fraught with problematic elements that can’t be ignored. The relationship between Tharn and Type is often toxic, characterized by manipulation, emotional abuse, and non-consensual encounters that are portrayed in a disturbingly romanticized light. These issues are not just brushed over but are, at times, depicted as part of the romantic development, which sends a troubling message about what constitutes a healthy relationship.

Tharn and Type’s dynamic is built on a foundation of conflict and power struggles. Type's initial aggression towards Tharn, fueled by his internalized homophobia and past trauma, creates a hostile environment. Tharn, on the other hand, is persistent, almost to the point of being coercive, in his pursuit of Type. This dynamic is problematic, as it blurs the lines between love and control, making it difficult to root for their relationship in a conventional sense. While the series attempts to explore the themes of redemption and healing, it often falls short by not addressing the toxic elements in a meaningful way, instead choosing to gloss over them in favor of an idealized romantic outcome.

Tharn and Type are both complex characters, each with their own set of flaws and virtues. Type, as a character, is initially hard to sympathize with due to his overt homophobia and volatile temper. His backstory reveals a traumatic experience that explains, but does not excuse, his behavior. Over the course of the series, Type undergoes significant character development, slowly coming to terms with his feelings for Tharn. However, this development is uneven, and his journey from hatred to love can feel rushed and inconsistent at times, especially considering the gravity of his initial prejudice.

Tharn, in contrast, is portrayed as a more emotionally mature and patient character, though his persistence can sometimes cross the line into problematic territory. His character is often seen as the more stable and caring partner, but his methods of dealing with Type’s aggression and resistance raise ethical questions. Tharn’s approach to winning Type over involves a level of manipulation and disregard for Type's boundaries, which complicates his role as the more sympathetic character. Despite these issues, Tharn’s unwavering love for Type is a central aspect of the series, driving much of the emotional weight of the story.

The complexity of both characters adds depth to the series, but it also highlights the toxic aspects of their relationship. While the show does attempt to depict their growth and the eventual softening of Type’s harsh exterior, it doesn’t fully address the unhealthy behaviors that are present throughout their relationship. This lack of resolution leaves the audience with mixed feelings about the characters and their journey together.

Cast/Acting: The standout aspect of "TharnType" is undoubtedly the chemistry between the leads, Mew Suppasit and Gulf Kanawut, who portray Tharn and Type. Their performances are compelling, with Mew bringing a gentle yet determined presence to Tharn, while Gulf convincingly portrays Type’s internal struggle and eventual transformation. The on-screen chemistry between Mew and Gulf is palpable, and it is this chemistry that drives much of the series' emotional weight. Their interactions, whether filled with tension, passion, or tenderness, feel genuine, pulling the audience into the intense dynamic between Tharn and Type. This chemistry is essential to the series’ success, as it keeps viewers invested in their tumultuous relationship, even when the narrative itself falters. Their performances are so strong that they elevate scenes that might otherwise feel cliché or problematic, making the series memorable despite its flaws.

However, while the lead actors excel, some of the supporting cast doesn’t quite match up. Many secondary characters lack depth, often serving as mere plot devices rather than fully realized individuals. This results in a less immersive world, where the focus remains heavily on the main couple, sometimes to the detriment of the overall story.

Music: Unmemorable.

Rewatch Value: "TharnType" has a certain rewatch value, especially for fans who are drawn to the intense chemistry between the leads. However, the series’ problematic elements, including the portrayal of toxic relationships and questionable consent, may make it difficult for some viewers to revisit. The heavy themes and the emotional toll of watching such a fraught relationship unfold might deter rewatching, especially for those who are sensitive to depictions of abuse or manipulation in romantic contexts. That said, certain scenes or moments, particularly those showcasing the lead actors’ chemistry, may still hold appeal for fans who are able to separate the problematic aspects from the overall experience.

An Absolute Classic

"Until We Meet Again" is a poignant exploration of love, reincarnation, and the deep scars left by past lives, masterfully weaving together the present and the past through its two leads, Pharm and Dean. The story is grounded in the Buddhist concept of karma and the belief that souls that are bound by the red thread of fate, are destined to find each other across lifetimes. This thematic foundation adds a layer of spiritual resonance to what might otherwise be a straightforward romance, making it stand out in a genre often characterized by more conventional plots.

1. Story: The narrative structure of "Until We Meet Again" is driven by Pharm's gradual recollection and acceptance of his past life, where he and Dean's previous incarnations, In and Korn, faced insurmountable societal pressures that ultimately led to a tragic ending. Unlike many romantic dramas, which might rely on external obstacles like rival lovers or misunderstandings, this story delves into the internal struggles of its characters—struggles that transcend time and carry over into their present lives.

The simplicity of the plot is both a strength and a weakness. On one hand, it allows the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the emotional journey of Pharm and Dean without being distracted by unnecessary plot twists. The juxtaposition of sweet, tender moments in the present with the heart-wrenching memories of the past creates a rollercoaster of emotions, but one that is carefully balanced. Unlike more relentlessly tragic shows like "Absolute Zero," "Until We Meet Again" offers moments of respite and joy, which helps to prevent emotional fatigue.

However, the show's reliance on the past-life suicide as a central plot device can feel somewhat heavy-handed. While it's clear that this event is meant to underscore the intensity of In and Korn's love and the tragic nature of their circumstances, some viewers might find it difficult to fully accept this as the only possible outcome. The narrative doesn't fully explore other potential avenues the characters could have taken and why they haven't taken them, which might leave some viewers feeling that the tragedy was more contrived than inevitable. Nevertheless, if one views the suicide as a symbolic act—representative of the inescapable suffering that comes from societal rejection—rather than a literal inevitability, it becomes easier to digest.

2. Acting/Casting: The casting of Ohm Thitiwat and Fluke Natouch as Dean and Pharm is one of the show's greatest strengths. Their chemistry is palpable, and they bring a genuine warmth to their characters' interactions that makes their romance feel both inevitable and deeply satisfying. Despite the limitations in some of the acting, particularly in Ohm's more stoic portrayal of Dean, the emotional connection between the leads shines through. Fluke's ability to convey vulnerability and sorrow, especially in the scenes where Pharm confronts his past, is particularly noteworthy. His tears feel raw and unforced, pulling the viewer into his emotional state.

The supporting cast, while not as central to the plot, provides a solid backdrop to the main story. Sammy's character adds a layer of lightness and humor that helps to balance the more intense moments, while Earth's portrayal of Intouch (Pharm's past self) is a standout. He captures Intouch's optimism and love for Korn with such sincerity that it makes the inevitable tragedy all the more heartbreaking. The secondary couple, although less memorable, offers a more subdued counterpoint to the main romance, catering to viewers who might prefer a less dramatic love story.

Cinematographically, the show does what it needs to without going beyond the basics. There are no particularly breathtaking scenes or innovative camera work, but the visuals are clean and serviceable, ensuring that the focus remains on the characters and their story.

3. Music: The OST of "Until We Meet Again" is nothing short of iconic. Music plays a crucial role in this show, acting almost as a character in its own right. The haunting melodies that accompany the more emotional scenes stay with you long after the episode ends, evoking a strong sense of nostalgia and longing. The music's ability to elicit tears with just a few notes is a testament to its power and how deeply it is intertwined with the narrative. It's rare for an OST to have such a profound impact, but here, it elevates the show to another level, making it unforgettable.

4. Rewatch Value: "Until We Meet Again" is one of those rare shows that doesn't lose its impact on repeat viewings. Even if you know every twist and turn of the plot, the emotional depth and the beautifully crafted moments between the characters make it worth revisiting. For fans of romantic dramas, this show offers everything one could want—intensity, sweetness, heartbreak, and hope—all wrapped up in a story that feels both timeless and deeply personal. While some aspects of the plot may not hold up to intense scrutiny, the overall experience is one of emotional catharsis. It's the kind of show that lingers in your mind, inviting you to return to its world again and again.

In conclusion, "Until We Meet Again" is not without its flaws, but its strengths far outweigh them. The simplicity of the story, the chemistry between the leads, the unforgettable OST, and the delicate balance of joy and sorrow make it a must-watch for fans of the genre. If you're looking for a show that will make you feel deeply and stay with you long after the final credits roll, "Until We Meet Again" is a perfect choice.

Great Chemistry; Weak Story

The show offers a predictable and clichéd plot that doesn’t stand out, relying heavily on the strong chemistry between the main couple, Fort and Peat, to keep viewers engaged. Their natural and genuine connection, especially in the NC scenes, is the highlight of the series, elevating it above its otherwise unremarkable narrative. While the secondary GL couple adds a sweet dynamic, the show’s dialogue and music are forgettable, contributing little to the overall experience. Rewatch value is limited to the NC scenes, making the show worth watching mainly for fans of the FortPeat pairing, despite its shortcomings in story and originality.

1. Story: The plot of the show is nothing to write home about—it's predictable, cliched, and doesn't offer any surprising twists or deep narrative developments. If it weren't for the actors' strong performances, particularly the main couple, the show would likely fall flat. The chemistry between the leads is the saving grace, transforming what could have been a dull experience into something enjoyable. Because the story is so basic, there's not much to dissect or discuss. The dialogue is serviceable—neither cringeworthy nor particularly memorable—and the characters are likable enough to keep viewers engaged, albeit with low expectations.

The highlight of the show, however, isn't the story but the NC (sexually explicit) scenes. This says a lot about the overall quality of the plot, as these scenes outshine the rest of the narrative. If you don't mind a story that's heavily reliant on tropes and predictability, you might find it perfectly watchable. Fans of similar shows, like Love in the Air (particularly the Prepai and Sky parts), might find some enjoyment here, as the tone and structure are quite similar. The story revolves around character A, who is emotionally scarred due to a past experience (in this case, related to his mother instead of a former lover) and has lost faith in love. Character B enters his life and slowly convinces him that love is real. The inevitable breakup occurs because A is scared of getting hurt again and pushes B away, claiming he no longer loves him. B leaves temporarily, only to return later, leading to a heartfelt reunion where A confesses his true feelings. The story sticks to a well-worn formula, lacking any substantial elements that could set it apart—such as a sexual assault subplot, which is notably absent here.

2. Acting/Cast: The chemistry between Fort and Peat is what truly elevates this show. Their on-screen connection is so natural and palpable that it becomes the focal point of the entire series. Without them, the show would likely crumble under the weight of its unoriginal plot. The affection and intimacy they share seem to leap off the screen, making their performances feel genuine and deeply engaging. There's nothing awkward or forced about their interactions, and their acting perfectly captures the essence of their characters.

What really sets their performances apart are the NC scenes. Unlike other shows where such scenes can feel staged or uncomfortable, Fort and Peat bring a level of realism and intensity that makes these moments incredibly sensual and believable. It's not just about what the audience sees but how convincingly they portray their characters' desire and passion for one another. The fact that the show is over is disappointing, not because of the plot, but because it means we won't get to see more of Fort and Peat together. Thankfully, their other videos are still available online for fans to enjoy. Additionally, the secondary GL (Girl's Love) couple adds a charming dynamic to the show, with their sweet and adorable relationship providing a nice contrast to the main couple's more intense connection.

3. Music: The soundtrack is entirely forgettable. There's nothing in the musical score that stands out or adds any significant emotional depth to the scenes. It's serviceable at best but doesn't contribute anything noteworthy to the viewing experience.

4. Rewatch Value: The only scenes worth revisiting are the NC scenes, which stand out for their raw chemistry and intensity. The rest of the show, however, lacks the substance or excitement needed to make it worth a second viewing. For those who enjoyed Love in the Air more, it's likely that they'd prefer to rewatch that series instead. Despite the show's blandness, there's still an element of enjoyment, but that can largely be attributed to a bias towards the FortPeat pairing.

All in all, the series is relatively light and fluffy. Although there's a breakup, it's resolved quickly, within a single episode, so for viewers who aren't fans of dramatic tension, the last episode could easily be skipped. Overall, the show is worth a watch primarily for the incredible chemistry between the leads, making it a decent recommendation despite its shortcomings.
