Could have been extremely good if the ending was not so messed up and weird

Side note before I dive in : I've started watching it since the day it was first aired so as to say : December 4th,2023

So until the very last episode EVERYTHING was extraordinary good, even if they were little things that were off-logical yet you could really overlook it, it's insignificant !
Then came that damn episode in which everything was messed up, done weirdly, it went from a ghost thing to a very weird Aib (Alice in borderland) remake with crazy parents. Then I beared everything through the whole episode hoping (not really) it woud turn out good but no, they even messed it up deeper lmao. Writers really lost it at that point T-T. Then I went to hoping the series would end up there but no ! Writers really like to torture us to the point the ending was hinting at a season 2. I hope they won't be one because apart of remaking the same thing with this time that always whimpering, annoying FL who in her (really bad)way will try to make her classmates know abt what she knows abt the game and will obviously try to fight back the crazy parents I don't see what could happen. I seriously feel like it would be a never ending circle.
I'm now done tackling the story and that last episode that plummetted my rate and even now as I'm writing this review I don't know how to rate it but I think if I end up giving it a 1, understand that it's because this ending is the worst you could ever have seen in the cinema industry. I don't get why people are rating it so high. Plus the way Viki fooled us and never mentionned it was some kind of science-fiction/ fantastic (yet not really )series...


CHARACTERS


The cast is INCREDIBLE ! Especially gyeong jun's actor. I love him sm, even more after this new series of him. He is very talented. He went from that cute and bubbly character in "Tasty Florida" to that psycho bully in "night has come". Btw I'm still waiting for an explanation on why he was crying alone after he litteraly killed a character lmfao. Then Jeong won really absolutely gained my heart at the end, I kinda shipped her with FL tbh. Then ML, I liked him at the beggining he was just incredible in all aspects. But after, he started to just be mean or would see things and promise to help and end up doing nothing or just ignore the bad things happening in front of him and move on like-. Plus he only cares abt FL.

Let's move on our dear bestie, aka FL. I really loved the idea of having a badass female but this one directly to the bin ! Like first she would be whimpering everytime, going to dark and remote places alone, keeps hints for her and when the timing would be absolutely good to set herself up (accidentaly yet in the dumbest way) she would judge it good to tell the others abt those hints she has found. Also she would be acting as a detective taking photos but sis. What's the point when you don't even use those photos you've taken or those clues you've collected ??? Da Beom is the perfect epitome of "don't trust people by looks" lmao. Then the bullying plot abt se-eun at the end is very weird since litteraly EVERYONE could tell it was fake but here it is...

Now let's move another topic : The music ! I don't really remember the OST since it was basically just theme musics but it was well put and in the good situations. Shout out to the writers for using the purge alarm tho. I really appreciated as a fan of the American Nightmare series <3.

To conclude, I would not recommend you to watch it unless you stop at the episode before the last one and leave it there eventhough you would feel like you miss something to end it.

Really meh in my opinion

*April 28th. It aired 3 days ago ! Never started a series so early. Almost right after its release lol*

The series is super cute and funny. Many parts were so amusing. It’s suoer interesting. I loved most characters and the OST were just…INCREDIBLE and matched perfectly !
Now to be honest irl some things would have been a huge NO for me. Even in the series, it’s still borderline.
Let’s start with Gi seop because he’s the one I’m actually targetting with this one.
He was being a huge red flag the moment Jin woo said he was a two-timer and then explained how he litteraly would be cheating on his girlfriends and blatantly. Like who tf would give their number to someone clearly interested in them and in front of your partner ???
Then I was triggered when he started being really intrusive like at the beginning maybe it was funny but not when you are rummaging into people lives and things !
When he said he would leave a week to jin woo for him to ask him out or else he would leave.
First you shouldn’t pressure someone into asking you out especially when you know you say ´yes’ to litteraly everyone.
Second, you shouldn’t follow them around and then refusing being rejected when they keep saying ´no’.
Like what kind of people are you to litteraly wants someone to aks you out because you are used to it and can’t stand them saying no.
Also when he said no, you pulled out a contract stating you would get out as soon as he would say you failed eventhough he just told you that a few seconds ago and you said you won’t leave ?…
I think it’s also super messed up to want someone to ask you out just for you to say ´yes ´ because ´you have to’ and not because you would actually like them. It’s super twisted because the person could end up destroyed at that…Especially if you are two-timing or worse ten-timing them as Gi seop did numerous times…

Other than that he is a cute and funny character..?Also why is the boy everywhere else but the school/part-time job lol ? Btw he is so whipped for jin woo that he got a mole tattooed ?. Hope they couple will last long !

Then another red flag of this series is that public confession lol. I would be seriously throwing a tantrum if someone was asking me out PUBLICLY, in front of tons of people especially if they are pressuring me into accepting. I mean they should not pressure someone into dating another person because it could have serious consequences !

Jin Woo is super funny and was being so real from ep 1. Single-since-birth team lol ! But that one line in which he litteraly described himself as the type of girl he would like to date, I was kinda triggered tbh. But other than that, he’s being pretty realistic!

I LOVE Baelgeum’s character so much ! He is so cute and realistic ! I’m so excited to see more about the side couple because they seem to have some background.

Those crosses in jin woo’s note (next to gi seop) are prolly to mark how many times he got Gi seop’s attention (?) That would explain their small amount. But this is just my attention.

kudos to the actor for not pulling off the floating kiss !!!

I love how Gi seop might be the most dense person but he knows how to read the room sometimes and avoids us so many miscommunication clichés.

I felt bad for baelgeum because when he was down Gi seop was halfy there for him bug ig at least he tried !

2nd couple is so good like they have a strong background. I love both of them and their relationship is so wholesome (and realistic !)

About the girl that appeared (forgot her name) she’s so cute and funny. She has the bestie material he needs ngl. also if they were going to end up together i would root for them but its a bl so they obviously wont but she so cute. They are
cute together.
Hope writers won't make her look toxic or smth.

I love the music though ! Shazam isn’t shazaming rn tho ?

*11/05/24
EDIT : I’m dropping this because I’ve lost interest in this. I still love the second couple but it isn’t strong enough to keep me on in this show.*

Totally wasted my time.

We were promised to something and got nothing.
Would litteraly not recommend this to anyone even to my ennemies.

****

The cast is good but personnally the fl and the ml (jae i and kang ha)´s actors are quite always stoic to me ?.
Btw I find some bibi x Iu traits in jae i and a little of chaewon traits in jae-i’s ´bff’

Before talking about the plot, I just want to say I am so disappointed about this series because Îve been hyped for SOOOO long and watched it as soon as it was released to be feeling like I wasted my whole time on this because everything was tasteless to me : the plot, the characters, the romance and the rich vs poor trope in this way as well….

Now the plot :
The ending of the first episode thickened the whole plot beacuse I thought ML would just be acting naive till the end.
At first I was feeling so bad for ri-an (after the break up) bcuz he seemed nice but then he started acting so full of himself when kang ha approached him but maybe it’s because he knows the link between him and in ha ? He revealed his true colors !

The premise of the series was so boring and cliche (the rebellious kid who is mistreated by her trashy dad, the best friend who is actually nothing more than her best ennemy, the FL’s clique etc). Also the fact that they are rich, that there is a supremacy is overused in the way it is in the series, I don’t know how to explain it but firstly, rich bullying scholarship students is not ´new’ but I love this theme so much in series with its fancy settings but here, everything is cliche as I said before, the rules of not approaching the high class etc…
Btw I hate how they keep casually saying things like ´girls like when….’ etc… as that other guy said to ri an to advise him abt how to get him back to jae-i (ep1) or how jae-i’s ´bff’ says it also.
And tf you mean rian by ´i don’t know how far I would go to GET YOU BACK ´ like she was some kind of object you possess or depending of your will ??
Although they used to form a cute couple, after they broke up (and maybe a little before), you can clearly see he became obssessed with her.

Jae-i´s fathers litteraly deserves to undergo the same he does to his daughter to see if that’s so good being bullied because he messed her up mentally and now she is unfortunately struggling with a few things…?

The way my jaw dropped when I saw woo-jin and his teacher making out and apparently have spent the night together…

I already hate the romance that from ep 1 was obviously gonna happen between Jae-I and Kang ha bcuz once again I feel like it’s unecesseary (as in most kdramas ?)

I watched this till the end to see if it would get better though I’ve already lost faith in it.

Well...

The story has something quite good and refreshing considering the idea and all, yet I did dropped it after going through half the film. I don't want to be harsh but the acting and the cinematography was somehow meh to me. I did tried to go as far as possible and lowkey enjoyed it but I've always had this feeling of something missing and it was the acting.

But do not stop on to my review and check it out yourself to make your own opinion on it !
Maybe you'll like both the story and the acting, cast

INCREDIBLE !

Took me less than a day to watch it and honestly the best japanese so far. I don’t really like japanese series (except animes) because actors tend to ´overact’.

It’s not really romance, more about making friends, enjoying youth and overcoming a one sided love.
It depicts both straight characters and queer characters (minami having a crush on chika, ryo having a crush on hikaru his bff and I lowkey feels like hikaru was starting to realize he actually had feelings for ryo).
The series might look light-hearted at the three first episodes (spent looking for hikaru’s crush and then getting to know her) but then it deals with facing one sided love, rejection and later on after minami’s first love is revealed to be a woman, the series tackles more in depth about how hard it’s to be queer (it was already there with ryo questionning whether to keep his feelings hidden or not).
The line of takashi saying ´it can’t be that kind of liking because we are both girls’ was so painful go watch considering she later explained she loved her back.

The last episode got me bawling my eyes out.

now the character :
- at the beginning I thought minami was being quite creepy when I realized quickly she was just being curious. plus she is so cute and genuinely caring, paying attention to others ans she even kept her feelings for chika for herself and helped her out as far as she could to overcome the rejection. Definetely one of my fav character and she even rejected properly and politely hikaru !

- Ryo and hikaru were so cute as well as their friendship. they really take the time to share if they think an issue between them needs tk be fixed. The only problem of the series would be that ryo’s confession tbh wasn’t explicit. It took me a while at the end to realize he actually expressed his feelings cuz they went from talking abt hikaru’s rejection to talking abt being friends better than having a romantic relationship ?

The cast/acting/ OSTs were just LIT af omg

Btw I’m confused hikaru rejected ryo right ?

Lost my interest

I ´loved’ watching it despite it not having any kiss because love isn’t all about kiss etc…
The biggest thinh I disliked was the other bullying his later on interest and even when the other would tell him what he did to him (ruining his name, stealing away something valuable to him, mocking him) : bullying, he wouldn’t apologize. Not sincerely… And he would keep going on with that like…
Because that’s actually a huge red flag to be dragging someone's else name in the mud just for fun. I hate this character so much because he might have a trauma but as someone said in the comments on viki "that's a reason not a justification" to what he is doing.

At the beginning, I was stunned by the fact that the whole school (especially the teachers, the nurse and even the archer really mean coach) were calling him out for getting caught apparently having something going on with another guy like it was something really bad. They didn’t even bother to hear out from his point of view…Very lame.
The archer’s father is so swear ! I wish him all the best ?❤️!

Also how how can writers turn bullies to lovers atp ??? With all what have happened between them ? and so smoothly ?. I know the same occurs with ´straight’ romances but even that got me so annoyed. I don’t stand this trope and will never ! And people saying otherwise and attacking the others that have other opinions should mature because nobody should ´enjoy’ watching someone getting bullied (here I’m not talking about those who liked the series or whatsoever just those who cant stand other people having different opinions).

Then I feel kinda bad for the bully (tae hyeon?) thinking about how nobody actually cared about him when he went missing for like 3 days. Even his three closest friends and especially that one other bully who is supposed to be his best friend didn’t check on him and just assumed he was doing well because ´they were used to him going missing for a few days’. Then even the school went to asking if one of his classmate could check on him as if school didn’t normally have their students address and phone number…?


EDIT : dropping this at ep 3 (4min into it) because I’ve just lost my interest in it ?
No memorable OST BUT the acting and the cast IS SO good OMG !!!

LOVED IT !

Finally we have a BL with more than 30min eps after so long !
This one is really good. You might think it’s some fluffy romance but no ! It isn’t !
It deals with grieving, suicide attempt (at the beginning), being rich, poor and their disadvantages. I love the idea and the concept of series, they are sooo good and I love how it’s giving and not giving love alarm at the same time lol !

Btw lying about knowing a dead person like myung ha did is actually crazy but we gonna ignore it bruh… ?

To get back to my review on this series, the cast in itself and the cinematography are really so good !
Episode 7 is my fav so far ! I had my eyes bawling the whole episode and its ending ugh ?

About the characters, I loved them ALL. The quatuor of boys : myung ha, yeo woon, sang won and the other friend, AND the side characters, like the girls !

Now to end this, shoutout to sang won. He is my fav character so far, he has an actual lore (with his mother abandonning him kinda, to pursue money instead), him having a crush on myung ha and trying to get his attention, although the other litteraly continously ignored him ??.
I mean my second lead syndrome might be playing a part in this BUT still ! Myung ha never actually care about him in my opinion and that was always clear. Like okay maybe at the beginning he was being ´weird ´ (not really) but even after, when he was genuinely nice to him, myung ha never ever took the time to get to know him at least ?. Like bro it won’t mean you reciprocate his feelings or whatsoever just because you are talking to him ! ?

Both a chill series to watch and got me hooked at the same time !

I will talk more about the characters in this review but you have to know a few things about this series !
First, don’t be fooled by the ´little ´ amount of episodes (8) or the short duration (40-50mn) compared to regular dramas because you won’t even notice. It’s very complete from the beggining to the end.
Eventhough I was watching while crocheting and embroidering, it got me really invested in. I went through so many emotions ! Mostly hate towards two or three characters especially so as to say that fake and psycho friend of junseong, director hwang and that neighbor. I loved the neighbor at the beggining for feeling something was off as well as her boyfriend and for trying to help min woo but she quickly started acting stupid. I mean why writers made her follow the at some point to just film and not call the police ?? She could has started by calling the police before taking the proof. But I appreciated her help to minwoo afterwards. Actually we didn’t get to have a closure for her and her family so this would be the only bad point for me.
Throughout the whole show, the real villain was all along jaehyo ! He was so inhumane ! First he came up with the twisted plan, dragged his supposedly best friend junseong in it, kept torturing min woo and tried so many time to kill him…
The OST are in point but like not memorable to put in my playlist for example but both the intros were so accurate and high-budget, I loved it !!

Then before we get down to get the characters, let me tell you the cast, the acting were just pure délice ! ?✨I already knew some actors (junseong, minwoo and minwoo’s mom) so they proved their talent again but I got to discover others like Jaehyo and the two reapers.


NOW WHAT YOU ALL WAITED FOR : The characters !

Minwoo is such a freaking good character and very complex. I love him so much. He went through a lot and people were always taking advantage of him for being rich even from childhood… But he kept trusting the world around him ?. He is so wholesome but I know he will have severe sequels afterwards and definetely trust issues and he doesn’t deserve that ! His reactions as a human were really accurate, as he was always doubting they would let him go alive and tried to save himself multiple times. In this situation everyone who got abducted by their so-said friend(s) would have the same reaction. He gave both of them the right punishment they deserved !!

Before we get to his mother, kudos to the reaper who from the beggining always respected her and even disobeyed his boss because he saw and admired how strong her maternal love was and how strong she was always !

Then minwoo’s mom is litteraly my second fave!
Even if everything was being way too overwhelming, she managed to think rationally. An example would be when she tested the echo when she was supposed to meet (….) *censored* to try to locate where they were. Another example was when she revealed her plan at the end of last episode, how she took advantage of the disadvantageous situation she was in and turned it to something incredible. I loved the moment she told the secretary to ask minwoo what he wanted to do with (….) *censored again*

The end was so satisfying to watch and very smart. Many things were well-thought of and really interesting ! The symbolic with Jaehyo’s voice talking to junseong at the end and him not turning back was so strong…?❤️
To end this review, keep in mind this is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED !!

slow-paced but !

If you are afraid or just don’t like slow-paced series/movies just don’t start this because I, didn’t really got that hooked and invested to the series until the mid-second when murders started to become abundant in a sort of way.
But when I got hooked by the plot, I couldn’t stop and that’s why I binge-watched this in like two days.
The cast, acting and story are just memorable. All the legendary actors played in it. The music was not that special but the intro is just so well done ! It’s giving true crime ytb channels!

The fact that it was a ´short’ series due to its duration is only in the numbers because the episode are not ´plain’. Everything is there, every clue is highlighted at the right moment to help you click only when the screenwriter wanted us to click.

Let’s get back to the story and what I liked in it !
First of all, I loved the bond between Capitain Park and Choi because beyond all the mean things they could have said to each other, you could always sense and see the love and tenderness that lie in their eyes. I also loved how they sold their complicated relationship and above all, how every character actually had some sort of background explained and sold at the end.

Lastly but not least, (won’t spoil the names dw, I will be vague), the series actually managed to make me kinda like the mentally unstable son’s character (not in a love/romantic way). To be honest, he grew on me as well as his mother. I felt compassion to them eventhough what she did was not good at all. They suffered a lot and I couldn’t help but feeling compassionate to them to the point I was very moved by the mother’s sacrifice and even started imagining the FL and her brother start creating bonds as he received help from medical professionals to socialize more as to say.

Very meh

Okay so. Before I get in, just keep in mind I just dropped the movie and I even gave it so many chances to the point I couldn't stand it anymore.

First of all, the characters were just so 'non-human'. Let me put it better : I felt like I was watching dolls moving. I don't know why especially when the cast is composed of well-known actors that I also love...
The 'tomboy-poker face senior everyone seems to be smitten for' (already forgot their names...) was just roaming around, playing with the girls' hearts knowing damn well the 'power' she has on their feelings... After that, she would do : Nothing throughout the whole movie...
The girl she is in love with (apparently lol) is a character I just hate. She litteraly skipped her friend (who she knew had an obvious crush on the 'juliet girl'/tomboy) after getting close to her... Like even if I don't really like the idea of her dating her friend's crush, I would have respected her choice if she had at least kept in touch with her friend and not be sticking ALWAYS with the other girl like she's doing.

Then let's talk about the chemistry. Of course, it's a romance movie so obviously there would be chemistry huh ? Well not here.
I litteraly don't undestand how they ended up loving each other when all they do is stare at each other most of the time with the 'juliet girl' showing no emotions and the other girl always smiling. It felt both so odd and plain to watch these scenes. Plus from what I saw (I stopped at 1:02:38), the plot was really lacking...
Even Youtube low budgets-series do better atp. I was very disappointed since GLs are really rare and sadly, often low budgets if there are any but I decided to give it a chance. I now regret my decision.
I mean the 'juliet girl' has even more chemistry with her male friend (my fav character in all this) than she has with Ha-nam (the tomboy girl, I think it's her name...?).


To end this, I really felt like I wasted my time on this. It was a 'plot-less' movie imo.
Btw shoutout to this scene where the 'shy girl/romeo girl ?' was laying on a bench, her face litteraly covered by her friend's skirt. It got me like 'wth?'.

Also I haven't seen that much of the character of that girl directing the musical but I don't know, I like her. She seems to like the 'shy girl' but I might be wrong.
I don't know what happened between 'shy girl's sister and the female director but they seem to have a background together now that I think of it


Plz I wanna know about what the two things I made hypothesies on below so feel free to spoil me lmao. Also I didn't intended to be cruel, if you think I was, in my review. i'm just writing about my feelings right after my watching session.

Short yet efficient !

Short yet incredibly lovely cute. Also the themes that got discussed eventho they were serious they managed to make it in a very understanding manner. I've learned many things ffrom this series : Love yourself as you are etc...

All the characters were correctly indepthed eventho the episodes length was quite short. At first I absolutely hated Yu-mi then I got to start liking her. Min-jae is the character I hate and will continue to. I don't know even afterwards he seemed fake and off to FL.

The other characters are just chief kiss.

The OST were on point and just purely lovely. The cast is very good. Btw the actor playing seon-ho REALLY looks like Eun-woo especially when he smiles ??.

For those who want to check it out it's on Youtube !

NOT INTERESSING AT ALL

Really mid and all messed up first episode. Many questions but let’s give it a chance !

EDIT : DROPPING IT 23 MIN INTO EP 2. Still not got me hooked up ?.

I expected so much more because I love the FL actress and her neighbour’s actress (the one who played in VIP.
I love the genre ! Everything was reunited yet the plot is so lazy, too much nonsense and things that were not clicking for me.
Like who wouldn’t call when her husband and probably child have disappeared out of nowhere ? The first thing she did was going straight to job what I get unless she tried a bit too late imo to reach out for her husband.
The music was not memorable enough ?.

So overrated, I won't recommand anyone to watch it...

So it's been since its release that I've wanted to watch it yet couldn't because I couldn't find somewhere to watch it... Now I've found a site and went on it.
What I can conclude is that it's really so overrated. Why ?
First episode, the story was somehow engaging yet very slow but since I've been watching series for a long time now I know that waiting until episode 2 can sometimes be worth it so I gave it a shot.
I was really disappointed throughout the whole watching down to the fifth one... FL could have gained my sympathy if she didn't went to sleep with a married man, her neighboor. I don't blame her for wanting to let herself live when she's getting cheated on by her 'husband', on the contrary ! But when you do exactly the same thing for what you blame your husband, I mean- She should have gone with someone single. Plus like I hate the neighbour and his wife since he was a douchebag to his wife, always looking down at her, ignoring her and even humiliating her in front of their friends and her was somehow shady, like she knew everything that was going on with Tae-Oh yet didn't want to tell Sun woo unless when it was at her advantage to leak the info. Yet nobody deserves that.

FL... I was rooting for her for like the two first episodes but then she started seriously getting on my nerves. She was doing too much back and forth moves in her 'revenge'. Like at some point it was just ridiculous. I get there are many things to think of and hard choices to make when you are planning to get divorced from your fake a** husband but when you act so dumb atp it's on another level. She decides something for her revenge's sake and then soon after pheww she forgets abt it more likely writers throw avenge ideas and then take them back and move on another overdramatic plot twist 'to keep us on edge'..

Then the son of the couple. He is so selfish... He knew everything yet let his mother suffer eventhough he could clearly see something was off. He could have discussed the things out eventho he is in middle school right ?

Tae Oh's friends straight to the bin. They badmouth him ? as good friends ofc (?) and like how can so many people know about him cheating and agree on keeping it a secret without actually trying to make Tae Oh come back to reason.

Also Tae Oh's mother is as twisted as her son. Not gonna spoil but bruh. Then another proof that Tae Oh is really messed up is that even on his relative's funeral, he went straight up kissing his mistress and all ?.

Shout out to the acting tho. The actors were very talented because I felt every single emotion they wanted to convey. I would even get very angry sometimes or frustratred lmao.

To conclude it could have been better with more elaboration. Also poor hyeon seo, I couldn't see how she ended up but Sun woo could have helped her way better. She started to do it then after I just felt like she was somehow using her for her own sake... I hope I just got it wrong because I really liked her.

I’m really disappointed !

Honestly I hate this series so much. The writing is so lazy. Many plot holes and incoherences especially in the medical field. For example, who would lay down a patient in their wet clothes at hospital ?? Another example would be the fact she was moving normally when she was supposed to have fractured ribs…

Soon as the series was announced to be, I was so excited because I love the genre (psychological/thriller) and Jang Na-Ra. First episode was good but with defaults. I tried to ignore them and gave the series another chance with the second episode because most K-dramas get very good from ep2. But no ! This was horrible asf !!

The female lead is unfortunately REALLY weak. I mean everyone would be vulnerable with all what’s going on in her life (being cheated on, stalked, mom that might have been killed by step dad) but she was being way too annoying always whimpering, making things before thinking about it…
I get she’s the bread winner and also doesn’t want her company reputation to get bad but at some point security matters ! She was being stalked for 7 years and didn’t even have bodyguards or any security system. What kind of nonsense is this ??? When she happened to learn about what was going on in her surroundings, she decided to take her revenge and I felt like the series could eventually begin but as always she disappointed me ugh ! She would for example litteraly tell her husband that is cheating on her about what she knows every time she gets angry ! Why ???? That’s really stupid right. Like plz gather evidence and just try to act cool until the moment has come oh gosh !
Another example would be her getting angry or just losing it in public, knocking like crazy at someone’s door because she thought her daughter was in there… She would also expose her best friend at a college former students get-together. I mean gurl who would do that to their best friend ? We all know what she did but you should have taken on yourself, stopped drinking or messing around trying to play the detective when you don’t even gather anything, until you have everything ready to serve them the revenge they deserve !

THAT’S WHAT I WANTED !

To end this review, just keep in mind the OSTs were the only good thing in the series. I dropped the series at the end of ep2. Even the comment section on Viki was bad especially at the beggining. Many were just being mysoginistic towards FL for prioritizing work over her family. But hear me out, it’s a really bad thing to not being able to manage the life-work balance but when women do that in series or irl stop calling them out because when it’s men y’all don’t point out and don’t come at them either…

It was meh for me. I would add this to my list of what I casually dropped.

I would add this to my list of what I casually dropped. Why ?

***
Months before the series air, I was already excited and thrilled to watch from both the summary and the concept/trailers but when the episodes started being released, I didn't start watching it right away until there was enough episodes released to binge-watch instead of waiting to watch once a week.

So on this day, there are 9 episodes out of the 12 annoounced that are already out so I decided to watch it.

The first minutes were "interesting" (let's say the 5 first minutes) then they started to get into the plot what should be good right ? Well no, because first, the group of friends that from what I understood were supposed to know each other for some time now ( two years or plus) were just so awkward to each other, even side-eyeing some so I was like wtf. Then the acting and the way it was filmed felt really cheap. I'm sorry if I'm being ruthless but that's how I felt.
I would've loved to have the nerves to go further in this first episode and more generally, in the series but they didn't managed to got me hooked. I don't think I would even give it another chance later...

Just for those who want to know, I watched 17 minutes into the series.
