Started good, ended-up lousy!

I was very excited at first when this was announced because finally, our boy JJ will finally have a main role credit under his profile here and the main actors who are quite new seem promising, BUT, it turns out, this is just one of those BL series made to launch an actor to the BL industry, and to make money for the concerned production companies. The story is quite promising and interesting given the fact that it's very generic, but I feel like the production failed to give justice to how the story was executed and unfolded. At first, I was very giddy because I thought Pawin and Marc are very cute together but later on, I got bored. You know, it has been past half the season and they are still in high school bickering about nonsensical things. Like hello, you only have 12 episodes so you might as well use that shortage to take things like an intense roller coaster ride but with what I have seen, I felt like I was also riding a roller coaster... but with only 1mph speed. You know how that feels. I also felt like I went to a horror house where the ghouls are very corny and not even funny. I will not mind if the events in the show will unfold hastily, that's fine, as long as the experience was given justice but with My gear and Your Gown, I felt ripped from my WeTV subscription. Also, I felt that the twist in the story where Itt was actually Student Number 900something who would antagonize Pai upfront was actually secretly rooting and loving him; I felt that that was a good twist, even though again it's quite generic (some things don't get old you know) but for me, they failed big in relaying effectively that part. That's where I get the title of this review LOUSY! It lacked creativity and tackiness. They could have done something better for that and have told that part of the story in a way that will take the audiences' breath away. I normally get past lapses in a show/series that I watch and appreciate what's good but I just can't forgo this one. I think this series has a pretty good message: teaching people safe sex and monogamy to prevent STDs, the importance of education, the importance of parent's support and understanding a queer child, and a lot more but again, I felt that the production failed to relay these important takeaways EFFECTIVELY! In the show, there would be scenes that don't make sense, there are also events that aren't sequenced logically. I FELT THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS SERIES FAILED IN EVERY ASPECT OF EVERYTHING THEY HOPED THAT THIS WOULD TURN OUT TO BE except to introduce Marc Pahun and Win Pawin as new and upcoming BL names. I liked more how Pawin's character in The Stranded was designed and executed.

Also, I felt that the ships in this show are forced. It's like food that you don't like that your mom keeps on shoving to your throat otherwise bad things will happen. I felt that way with how they chose pairings for loveteams in this series in short, there was no enough chemistry to make things work. JJ and Neen's pairing was cringy. Like, there are ships like them; an older girl and a younger boy, but this one's a wreck plus JJ's acting hasn't improved. It's still very obvious plus the trying hard yet funny English words that he is trying to blurt out are very ridiculous. Fiat and Aun's couple also is quite weird on-screen. It just didn't work. The fuck boy who suddenly took interest to a perfectly good boy vibes? I get that, but, again, there is something off with how they interact---no chemistry maybe? Finally, Marc and Win who at first is giving that generic BL couple progress, enemies at first, lovers in the end but with how slow their story went, the chemistry got lost somewhere before the middle season until it turned out bland. This is also my feelings towards how they ended the show. I felt like the ending is very bland, awkward, and useless. They should have just hurt us by making Itt and Pai separate because Pai can't get over with pressure and expect for a season 2. That would be more acceptable than an expedited ending. It seems like they just made everything right there and then without a clear storyline because everything is 'shittyly' done. And I just need to take this off my chest and sorry for mentioning this but I think the way Win cried in front of his parents during that scene at the table is very cringy and appalling. Having said that, every character acting in this show, except for Neen and Fiat's, needs a whole lot of improvement. Over-all, my expectations failed me just as how A Chance to Love failed also at giving LBC a sequel. I know that these shows were announced together as a joint project with WeTV but turns out, the way they told both stories was very lousy and crappy.

PS:
I will edit this review if ever I can think of good things to point out about this series.
