Creepy lead, trite plot, barely tolerable, overall meh
6 episodes in and this series is just too hard for me to stick through. I'm not even sure if I can finish watching it. This has got to go down in the list of the most annoying series I have watched!
The lead, Toh, I'm not a fan of him. His character and behavior seems downright like a creep and stalker than the kind to love someone. He's constantly smiling awkwardly and the acting is not bad if this is what the character was originally supposed to do, to creep people out. I understand the point was to make people laugh with a lighthearted comedy but there's a fine line between being comic and being downright creepy and I'm afraid the character stepped into the latter.
Coming to his love interest Nuea, he's actually not bad at all. He's good looking, our usual moon-of-the-college guy who's loved by many but loves none. I have no idea why he falls for Toh nevertheless, he does. He's much more of a normal character than Toh. His actions and his behavior makes much more sense.
And the strange part is, in fact, Nuea is at times creeped out by Toh's behavior. The scene where Toh goes to the party with his cut finger and Nuea dips it into the water before putting on a band-aid on the cut, Toh refuses to throw the water away and instead kind of forcibly tries to drink it, which is pretty disturbing behavior, at least it seemed so in the drama. Even Nuea feels like Toh is kinda weird and not in a cute, romantic way either.
The other couple, Sky and Jao are our average BL couple where the top-bottom line is drawn pretty nicely, I'd say. This is still faaaaaaar more tolerable than the lead character Toh and his obsessive relationship with Nuea. But even the second couple's plot is so trite that it's just meh at best.
Moving on, as for the third couple, I wish they showed a little more of the GL they were hinting at. It never clearly says tat the girls are dating but we all know that they have feelings for each other anyway. I would love to see more of their screen time in the coming episodes.
As for the friends, I think the friends are very supportive and nice, specially Som. She's quite a lovely character, she never overdoes it and intrudes her friends' privacy but is always there when they need her.
