Campy & Cute, but poor production & editing bring it down

I enjoyed this show and don't regret watching it once. It was very campy and cute. I was entertained, and many of the characters were adorable.

Overall, I recommend this show to people who enjoy campiness and who aren't annoyed by dorky sound effects or occasionally odd music choices. If you're trying to be a critic and not just going for a laugh, this show is not for you.

I couldn't help but notice that many of these reviews and comments reminded me of the ones on Secret Crush on You. While that show is very clearly and intentionally Campy, this one was a little less clear due to lower production value and poor editing. Some of the transitions were confusing, the sound effects and music choices were odd, and the lack of attention to detail in costuming and set design were distracting (loose threads on clothing, a button about to fall off, a piece of gauze on a wedding veil that got too friendly with scissors).

Additional Character commentary where I took issue:
- Yoya: As a character, her primary personality seems to be that she's a Koreaboo and a Fujoshi. Since we have several gay couples in this, her Fujoshi-ness in some scenes is shown in a way that is creepy and fetishizes them. Those parts were gross.
