The series started quite promising - the actors managed to bring us in and believe their past, their friendship and also their complicated feelings for one another. With the mystery surrounding the female leads happenings in the US, and the explosive nature of the relationship of the leads, there was enough to keep us wishing the next episodes would be released sooner. Until there wasn't.
The last 2 episodes (9&10) were quite a let-down. Apart from mediocre plot developments and a certain amount of drag - the whole illness debacle left a bad impression. Is it that an illness such as that is something to be ashamed of? Is it that as a 3-year survivor, it still can evoke such dramatisation, tears and end-of-the-world scenario? Does it make any sense to keep any of it a secret in any universe? The mental illnes part brought nothing but question marks where questions marks should not be had. It was over the top, and just unrealistic. So now we have 10 episodes and still no real development or resolution and a giant heap of misguided behaviour. It is unfortunate that such good actors were wasted on what seems like a really weak storyline.
On the positive side, the support actors and their blooming relationship is the real highlight of the series so far.
