Nothing To Do With Mermaids

LIKES:
Music was okay, nothing too memorable.
Locations, sets and wardrobe (in most circumstances) were all good.
Cast was well chosen and acting was good.

DISLIKES:
Writing:
The story had potential but couldn't develop anything because the episodes were so short, so not even character growth could happen.
Production:
Seriously how can you screw up every episode with crappy camera work? Zoom ins that are so close you can see nose hair! Shaking camera, so whether it's on a small screen or big, you feel nauseated. Have they never heard of a stabilizer or camera support? I can film this better using my cell phone! It's like the camera people had the jitters from too much coffee!
FX:
The character with the Heart transplant didn't even have a little scar, let alone the big one they get from surgery. Why do that as his story line, if you don't even try to show a scar. Or at least when he's in the pool, put him in one of those super tight swim shirts that real athletes use.

OVERALL:
Short, easy watch. However due to the crappy production be prepared to get a migraine. I don't recommend it, unless you are REALLY bored. No need to rewatch.

Soft Core Porn + Cheesy comedy

Rewatch rating is ZERO, but they wont let you do that, so that's why it got a 1.

LIKES:
The yacht and the Ferrari were nice.
The music was okay.
The videographer understood how to use a film stabilizer.
The comedy was over the top, it was extra cheesy, but a few times I laughed.
The women that Fung "dated" (all of them) were beautiful (yes even the one that loved food).

DISLIKES:
Editing:
other than the brief pic of Fung’s dick in the first few minutes of the movie, we got to see his ass and his nice abs. WAY too much tits and ass from all the women. This was obviously edited to encourage male viewership.
Writing:
Rape in any format is still rape and this movie condoned it; both when the women did it and the men.
The use of drugs, wasn’t needed and didn’t add anything to the story. Too much sex scenes so their impact was lost.
Why even bother showing Fung as a high school student, he looks WAY older. College maybe, not high school.
FX:
The ridiculous spraying water moments, actually made me laugh, it was so cringy.
There’s a tongue that is almost ALIEN it’s so long, it looked like rubber.
SOUNDS:
As with everything else, the sounds were a little off beat, like when something has bad dubbing.

OVERALL:
This wasn’t sexy at all, just overly stupid and very cheesy. This was soft core porn only because it didn’t show the intrusive and sexually graphic part of intercourse. It came pretty damn close to being hardcore though. This was for a male dominated viewership. The ending happened fast and I didn’t even mind, because this was a waste of time. Not even Dominic Ho’s abs could save this movie. I can’t believe this got a sequel! I won’t watch it.

Killer Action & Fighting

LIKES:
Good action sequences, never boring.
Great fight scenes.
FX: blood although sometimes excessive still looked real. Fight wounds well done, same with scars.
Music mostly was okay and sound effects were well edited.
Location scenes, sets all well done.
Lighting was good too.
Writing; enough of a story to supplement the action. Nice to see a young woman empowered.
Acting for most part all done well, with stand out performances by Han Goo.

DISLIKES:
Production:
shaky camera syndrome where no film stabilizer was used.
Music:
the EDM used for action scenes was bad and too loud.
Acting:
some of the adults, like the mother (episode 1) were over the top bad.
Writing:
typical storyline; incompetent parent, the parent is out of the picture, revenge. Stem cell research concept is nothing new. Same old tropes. Why bother with the high school love interest, not needed.
Directing:
the naked tit shots were not needed and seemed thrown in for the male viewing portion of the audience.


OVERALL:
One of the better action fighting movies. Great sword/knife fights too. I recommend it, especially watching the behind scenes moments while credits roll for Ep. 3. I would watch it again, it was that fun.

Cruel Intentions movie + Boys Over Flowers, made baby with Heirs= TEMPTED

LIKES:
Woo Do Hwan's acting was great; tears, steamy sexuality and good guy vibes. But his talent was under utilized for the sex appeal of his character.

DISLIKES:
WRITING: SUMMARY (No Spoilers){see after OVERALL for the SPOILERS explanation}:
In the beginning of the story, it caught my interest as they introduced the dark, extravagant life of the three friends: Si-Hyun (played by Woo Do Hwan), Soo-Ji (Moon Ga Young) and Se-Joo (Kim Min Jae). It showed us how the rich are privileged and yet there is negativity from family pressures. They created a fake persona and couldn’t be themselves, in order to survive. They hurt others, because their parents or siblings hurt them. Since they can’t take revenge on their parents, they play with other people’s feelings. Se-Joo is a womanizer, treating everything like a big joke. Si-Hyun toys with women’s affection. While Soo-ji gets pleasure in tormenting others.

Enter Tae Hee, who is supposed to be cynical about love, due to her parents and their subsequent divorce. She is the target of the game suggested by Soo-ji, to be seduced by Si-Hyun, before he breaks Tae Hee’s heart.

The story had potential to be deliciously devious with the right dose of wicked sexuality. They could’ve even added a modern twist by giving subtle hints of homosexuality between Si-Hyun and Se-Joo, for soft-core eroticism. Soo-Ji should’ve been doing a lot of her own seducing of guys outside of her friends, even playing a bit of a sociopath, to make her character more interesting. But poor writing and inconsistency with the characters derailed it from being a good melodrama.

There were too many unnecessary sub-plots with the other characters, including the parents. This made it a mess and things became tediously long. It needed more from the “teens”; telling lies, backstabbing, manipulation, incidental sexual liaisons with their targets, etc. The female lead was to be pretty on the outside and ugly on the inside. I tried to feel sorry for Soo-Ji, since she’s supposed to be an immature teenager, yet in the end I was just done with her. When focus shifted to her, I found it barely tolerable. She constantly used emotional blackmail, but it didn’t come across as believable.

I did like the character of Lee Se-Joo, but they under developed him. He had a sub-story that went no-where and added nothing to the plot. There was a limit to the chemistry between the males and females, with more chemistry between Si-Hyun and Se-Joo, than anyone else.

Too many extra characters and sub-stories, which took away from the main drama. The adult sub-stories were tiresome, with their selfish narcissism, to the point I skipped their parts towards the last ten episodes. The adults with their lovers, had no chemistry and only seemed to be seduced by greed and power. The usual rich parent formula failed.

I wasn’t happy how the show addressed the family abuse and mental health issues in many of the characters. Some of it could've even triggered viewers.
The “who-done-it” portion of the storyline, was just too easy to figure out.

ACTING:
It was my first time seeing Joy act. I felt she did the best she could with the given script, but the cuteness was too much. Her character, just like Moon Ga Young’s, had little growth. Moon Ga Young did her best too, but her acting skills couldn’t save the terrible writing.

OVERALL:
Overall it was an okay drama, but the ending felt rushed and some of the sub-stories were unfinished. It wasn’t as satisfying as they tried to make it, by using a 5 year time gap. The drama fell short, and I hated the shaking camera bits that were done to add tension or suspense (it gave me a migraine).




Specific Details with SPOILERS:

Soo-Ji:
First thing that was annoying & tested my patience by episode 8, was how Soo-Ji was constantly getting jealous of Si-Hyun and Tae Hee, even though it was her idea for him to seduce Tae Hee. Soo-Ji came across as a spoiled child having frequent tantrums. Her suicide attempts weren’t handled well by the writers/show and seemed more unnecessary than dramatic. The show simply dismissed it and made the person struggling through it, seem selfish. They could’ve handled the mental health aspect better.

Secondly Soo-Ji could’ve been a really strong and devilish character, but her development was botched by the writers. She was vicious at first, but then just pissy and depressed, making her character less effective. Even more silly is that her doctor-mother ignored the warning signs that her daughter has mental illness. The mother doesn’t even lock up her own medication, even after finding out her daughter took the medicine too.

Third: Soo-Ji’s character didn’t seduce anyone and barely teased Si-Hyun and Se-Joo.

Se-Joo:
His main roll was holding together the friendship between Soo-Ji and Si-Hyun. He helped them, more than they were there for him. That made the ending episodes, where Si-Hyun rushes to his aid, less believable.

The abuse inflicted on Se-Joo by his family, happened too often and made his character more pathetic than a victim.

Si-Hyun:
His seduction of Tae Hee was too short and easy. His seducing of the mother-model, was more believable. He needed to have more conquests before targeting Tae Hee, for us to believe he’s the great seducer.

Also watching Si-Hyun’s dad trying to get with Soo-Ji’s mom, was extra cringe.

Tae Hee:
She falls for Si-Hyun way too fast, for someone who is supposed to be cynical about love. Also she was supposed to be pure/truthful and loyal in her friendships. From the beginning she hides having read Si-Hyun’s DNA test. She believes everyones lies, instead of being open with Si-Hyun and listening to him. The whole “give me a pass” junk, was dumb because neither she nor Si-Hyun gave the other a pass when it came to lies or betrayal.

Throughout the drama, they made it seem like Tae Hee had a really bad accident which is what traumatized her psychologically and hence her memories of it were gone. But the accident they showed in the flashbacks was just her getting hit by the side mirror of the car, and she hurt her foot when falling down from the impact. The only reason she was in the ditch, is because she stood up to fast and got dizzy, then fell into it. The writers screwed up in creating this critical memory.

Other Characters:
The writers left Park Hye Jung’s relationship with Joo An unfinished/resolved. Also did Lee Ki Yeong get thrown in jail for his part in assaulting-attempted murder of Se-Joo and Si-Hyun? What happened with Go Kyung Ju (Tae Hee’s best friend). Did Park Hye Jung’s mother get caught for keeping her son from going to military service? So many unfinished sub-stories.

Failure to Communicate

LIKES:
Wardrobe
Music was okay and wasn't so loud that it drowned out the voices.
They clearly proved with the script & plot, that without trust and communication, no relationship works.

DISLIKES:
WRITING
over the top jealousy
too many cliches and usual trope used, why in 2022 is this still happening?
toxic behaviours didn't make the show more interesting, it just took away what was nice about Season 1.
no character growth or conclusion for any other characters other than the main couple.
PACING:
It got boring after a while, due to repeating themes.
PRODUCTION:
Shaky camera syndrome shouldn't be happening in 2022, PLEASE learn to use a film stabilizer!

OVERALL:
Fast, easy watch, that can be used as a filler while waiting for better dramas. Okay for middle school and teenage viewers, because there's little substance to the romance portion of this high school drama. No need for season 3 or any more seasons. I won't watch again, there is nothing memorable in this season and I wont watch any new seasons of this either.

Typical Toxic Thai BL w/good visuals

LIKES:
Cinematography, locations/settings, colour palette all great.
Wardrobe was well chosen for the most part.
Cast was well chosen and the actors did the best they could with what they were given.
Decent chemistry between Pi and Mork.
Music was okay, but nothing memorable.

DISLIKES:
Writing:
Plot holes and content that was not concluded. [For example the Pi and his mom breaching of his privacy.]
Mork constantly saying he wants to love Pi, but doesn't give him space or support. Instead of telling the bullies & shippers to back off and leave them alone, he tells Pi to not care about those people. Yes people shouldn't care what others think, but if you love someone truly, you don't force them to be they way you want them to be. That's not love. Also Mork's was stalking and obsessive, both very negative behaviours.
I hated BAM, the character was idiotic & I had to mute her. She wasn't needed, but at least her character storyline had some conclusion, unlike most of the other supporting characters.
Toxic, Obsessive Shippers having no consequences for their actions.
Comedy moments didn't flow and were stupid. Could've been left out because the Main Characters used their cell phones/ social media so much.
Blatant cultural appropriation in one of the episodes.
No one except for Pi, had any character growth.
Directing:
The reactions/responses often took way too long and became ridiculous with the gaps in time.
The interactions between the "couples" didn't seem natural, were too frequent and felt forced.
Pacing:
The beginning episodes took too long, then the ending was overly rushed.
They dragged out Pi and Mork's relationship issues and then suddenly everything was fixed/resolved.

OVERALL:
Not the worst Thai BL series, but far from good, due to making toxic behaviours seem acceptable. Great visuals from the characters, but bad writing as usual wrecked the show. I'd recommend this to beginner viewers of the BL genre, as long as they don't think it's good to force people to be or do what you want. I highly doubt I will watch this show again.

Cute, But Dragged On Too Long

LIKES:
Cinematography, set locations, production and lighting all done well, however we have seen these locations in other rom-coms and so nothing was new.
Cast well chosen for respective roles.
Very low key romance, but still the couple interactions suited the title. I liked the gentle affection between the FL and ML too.
Acceptable ending, yet typical and boring.

DISLIKES:
WRITING:
Felt more like a middle school or high school drama, then college or university students.
Dragged out the whole moment of confession for too many episodes. It was cute at first and then got boring, with over done interruptions and misunderstandings. Character growth was very limited for everyone.
Really disliked the over-the-top-cutesy Xin Yu (Red Chu’s cousin the dancer), to the point I fast forwarded every time she came on the screen, by the time I reached Episode 14. They made her too idiotic.
ANIMALS:
I felt sorry for the rabbit trapped in the way too small cage and same with the turtle, neither could even move.
PACING/DIRECTING: overly long reaction times, too much film time spent on boring things and monotonous cliche moments. This could’ve been finished with just 18 episodes, if that. Fast forward became necessary. Seriously we didn’t get progress until episode 18 & 19!


OVERALL:
Many parts reminded me of both Unrequited Love and Put Your Head On My Shoulder, dramas. This was like a mash up of those two, but they were much better dramas. If a person is young or just starting out in the rom-com, young adult genre, this would be okay to recommend. I wont watch it or any parts of it again. There are better shows in viewing land to watch, than this one.

Great Acting coupled with Good Production and Story

LIKES:
The theme throughout being consistent.
Decently developed plot, with some character development for all the main characters and some of the supporting characters too.
The chemistry between the 2 main characters and their whole dynamic.
Comedic relief/ humour did bring a lighter feel to the crime drama.
No romantic involvement with female characters, like the female captain and her house mate.
Colour palate, scene lighting and action was all well filmed.
Directing for the most part was good.
Early episode moments had an impact on later episodes.
I also liked how the tackled certain social issues, such as racism and prejudice of migrant workers or fake internet news, etc.
This show has an excellent scriptwriter.
Actors/actresses were well selected and were very good at portraying their characters.
FX were decent, but nothing truly amazing.

DISLIKES:

MUSIC: too loud sometimes and you couldn’t hear what the actor/actress was saying.
PRODUCTION: sometimes it was so obvious that streets had been cleared for filming.
WRITING: The ending was a little rushed and the capture of the master mind wasn’t as interesting or satisfying as it normally would be. Also too many times cases were solved do to coincidences and if that was done on purpose, it doesn’t respect the hard work that police detectives do. So perhaps the writer meant to have this whole show be a satire.
FX: some of the camera work gave me a headache, (but at least they mostly used film stabilizers).


OVERALL: I did enjoy this show, humour included. I didn’t binge watch it, but I was into each episode and watched all of them. I would recommend this to anyone who likes crime or police type dramas, especially those that have good teamwork. I’m not sure if I will watch it again, but I am satisfied with the show.

Too Many Tears (Angst Over The Top)

I started watching this years ago and dropped it. Seeing it on Netflix I was determined to make it to the end, hence I can finally give a review.

LIKES:
Cinematography, locations, settings and buildings, were all beautiful. The Office of Zhao Nanxian was cool and unique. It’s one I remembered.
The wardrobe for the actors and actresses; movie costumes for Bo Yi Xin (played by Jenny Zhang) when working at her drama set, the business attire, etc. [However for the fashionable clothing, it was more cheesy and tasteless, than trend setting.]
Colour palate was also well chosen.
Acting and cast selection was on point, even supporting characters were well delivered.
Choice of music was appropriate.
I like seeing the office moments, as they were actually doing their jobs, not just all standing around gossiping (even though that happened a few times). The FL (Wen Nuan played by Janine Chang) was shown as a competent business woman, for the most part.
Ding Xiao Dad (played by Gun Zi Qian) a supporting character, showed a lot of character growth, (compared to some of the main characters).

DISLIKES:
OST: the music was very loud even when the characters were talking, making it hard to hear them (thankfully I read subtitles, so I didn’t miss out what they were saying). Also the theme song was over played way too much.
WRITING: too many filler scenes to extend the number of episodes. Hated how over the top Wen You (played by Zhou Qi Qi) was made [some of her scenes I fast forwarded due to being overly repetitive with her reactions]. They had the ML a total jerk, used manipulation and emotional blackmail, often being extremely childish, for a man who is a CEO. A lot of typical trope and cliche’s. They are all adults, but communicate very little, jumping to conclusions all the time. That’s just sloppy writing. Also how they handled (or didn’t handle) some of the more serious content (depression, alcoholism & suicide), wasn’t done well. Also over use of angst, which caused me to fast forward through some scenes.
DIRECTOR: having the actors/actresses constantly crying/weeping got old fast and lost its emotional impact. Excessively long pauses for reactions of characters.
PRODUCTION:
Pacing issues, it seemed to drag on in areas that could’ve been shorter. Seemed like more episodes than what was needed.

OVERALL: It had potential and failed due to writing. Some people will like it a lot, not me. I wont recommend it, and will never watch it again. [Now I know I was right the first time to drop it. LOL]

Not Enough Episodes/Time

LIKES:
STORY
- how they tackled adult themes like obsession, voyeurism, sex, pregnancy, blackmail, abuse and how abuse can be recycled.
- the message that only truth and communication can make relationships survive
- how they showed the power of friendship and how selfish a crush can be
- the way they explained that lies to yourself and others just breeds more negativity.
PRODUCTION
- filming and editing were okay, considering the limited episodes and their length.
MUSIC
- was well chosen for the moments of impact, but nothing too memorable
ACTING
- Kamio Fuju was great in his role, but everyone did a good job with what they were given.

DISLIKES:
WRITING: trying to make pedophilia seem like misguided love. Trying to pass off emotional blackmail as a part of growing up. Not enough time to really develop any of the characters or show growth.
TIMING: Some moments dragged on too long and could’ve used the time in a better way.
MUSIC- playing that violin song over and over, it was just too much.

OVERALL:
Fast watch, dark content with mixed messages. I would recommend it, especially due to the complex character of Ritsu. I have watched it again, but wished it was longer or had more episodes.

Slow even for a typical Tsundere

LIKES:
Cinematography (location settings & colour palette)
Acting was decent for what they were given in terms of script.
Story had potential in the first 5 episodes and then the writing got typical and crappy.
Music was okay, but not memorable.

DISLIKES:
WRITING
Dragged out beyond belief.
Usual cliche’s and trope for ML & FL, typical tsundere (red flag type). [No one likes jealous guys who are insecure and can’t trust their partner at all. This trend for the rest of the drama turned him into an ugly guy. (And there was no backstory on his side to explain why he was so jealous and mistrusting.)]
Starts out very high school-ish with the “romance” between ML & FL, definitely not college level.
The sculpting class worked on the same heads for more than half of the episodes.
FL not well cast, even though she is a decent actress, looked way too young (including wardrobe and makeup).
Also FL & ML had no character growth, but some of the supporting characters do.
Slow moving in terms of story and character development, I almost dropped it.
DIRECTING
Some scenes it took way too long for the actor or actress to respond, that it was laughable.

OVERALL:
FL & ML didn’t have chemistry, but they tried. The writing gave them very few chances to make romantic connections. Was this originally a manga? Because the script/writing is terrible and ridiculous. I don’t recommend it to anyone that is older than 13.

Bland with Attractive Cast

LIKES:
Some of the location settings were ones I have not yet seen in other dramas.
Male eye candy.
Beautiful FL that wasn’t made to act like an incompetent silly woman, which is refreshing considering it’s Rom Com genre is littered with them.

DISLIKES:
WRITING
FL doesn’t act like she’s 30 yrs old, even in her subtle nuances. But in order to give us that kind of character detail and later her growth, the show needed to be longer with its time per episode and the number of episodes. Same with the male love interests, there wasn’t enough to build the romance part or even attraction between them. FL was written as being pitiful and later being a victim, rather than give her true substance.

Most of the males in this show were attractive, fashionable and typical of this kind of rom com. Nothing was new, interesting or attention grabbing. Even the age difference didn’t stick out enough to accomplish that type of romance. So the FL’s choices or final decision was lack lustre.

PRODUCTION & DIRECTOR
Cheesy music for the make-out scene in Episode 1. Even the “dance club” music was crappy.
Zooming in way too close to the actor or actress, so we can see all the imperfections of their makeup, doesn’t add anything for the viewer. If you zoom so that the top of the head is cut off the screen, the camera is too close. You’d think that by 2021 production wouldn’t be so amateurish.
Yet even with the short episode time and restriction of 10 episodes in total, there still was a pacing issue and boring moments.

ACTING
Casting the gorgeous FL (Yoon So Hee) as 30 yrs old or even close to that, just isn’t believable.
The model “younger guy” (Joo Woo Jae) did fit his role, but again the lack of establishing anything more than just his visuals as being younger, made his acting ineffectual.
Sa Ri’s best female friends needed more screen time too and have something develop for their characters. They were like pretty accessories.


OVERALL:
Easy fast watch, not much angst. Good filler if you need to kill time. I won’t watch it again and not really worth recommending.

Potential Romance Ruined by Bad Writing

LIKES:
Weather scenes, landscape shots and weather office setting.
Banter between the forecasters when deciding what to announce to the various agencies/departments.
First 4 episodes.
FL (Park Min Young) & ML (Song Kang) characters were for the most part competent and engaged in their jobs.
The concept of older woman and younger guy having a relationship.
ML shirtless scenes… thank you
The science and facts given during the forecasting.
Good kissing by ML (Song Kang).


DISLIKES:
WRITING
The exes, especially making them seem more important due to screen time and character development. Like the writer supports cheating and lying.
The parents: FL’s mother (Bee su Ja) forcing her to marry again, way too soon after her divorce, which was annoying and unrealistically ridiculous. ML’s father (Myung Han) being over the top greedy.
Office gossipers were over the top.
A lot of eating food scenes.
Too much angsty drama and not enough romance.
Too many side stories of supporting characters, with boring moments.

PRODUCTION & DIRECTOR
Directing sucked: too many times we are watching FL & ML stare at each other for way too long, it got old fast.
Shaky camera syndrome
Too much screen time for the 2ML & 2FL (the exes).
Too much screen time for product placements (eating, drinking [like watching an iced coffee be made], etc.).
Too many flash backs that ran way too long, as if viewers are stupid and can’t remember what they just watched.

ACTING
Little chemistry between FL & ML, even though they did their job well enough.
FL loves to stare at ML, co-workers, into the air. That’s either her acting or a director fail.


OVERALL:
OST not noticeable, so neither good nor bad.
No FX to speak of
Recommend only for fans of ML Song Kang.

Messy Writing and Bad Production Ruined Potential

LIKES:
Music/OST
It was good, they even had Say Something by A Great Big World (and it was perfect for the scene unfolding). Also the music never overpowered the actor/actress voices, which means great editing.
PRODUCTION
Cinematography and colour palate were good, same with the lighting for night time scenes.
ACTING
Kang Ha Eun (Daughter of Yun Seung), she was a great character, well written and perfectly executed by actress Park So Yi. Also Actress Lee Joo Bin was good in the role of Lee Hyo Joo.
WRITING
The characters at work, actually were ‘working’ and not just focused on their personal lives.
The close family relationship of ML, two sister, was nice to see and how they were supportive of each other.

DISLIKES:
PRODUCTION
Shaky camera syndrome; they didn’t use a film stabilizer. If it was intentional, it didn’t add to the drama of the moment, just made it harder to watch.

DIRECTING
Somehow the FL comes across as annoying, the further into the series you get. Maybe it’s how they have her reacting to situations, not sure what it is. Maybe it’s because she’s supposed to be the more mature older boss and comes across as such.

WRITING
Homophobia very apparent with one of the storylines of the supporting characters. Considering this is a show from 2021, that was very disappointing. Later they tried to seem supportive, but it came across very fake.
Having the age gap being just 1 yr between the ABM Yoon Song Ah and Chae Hyun Seung was silly and didn’t pull off the “older female boss and younger male crushing on her” vibe.
Over the top, red flag, narcissistic sociopathic 2ML Lee Jae Shin character, made me fast forward his parts, as the series continued past 6 episodes.
The story itself was a mess in terms of execution and content. This made the pacing seem imbalanced, relying heavily on the usual trope and cliches.
Supporting Character Song Ah’s mother and Lee Jae Shin’s father, were over the top and annoying. They didn’t add anything to the characters of Song Ah or Jae Shin.
Also in the last five episodes, all the other couple storylines were more interesting than the FL & ML and the ending felt very thrown together just to achieve a “happy ending.”

OVERALL:
I won’t watch it again, but I will look for more dramas of the actors/actresses which I believe performed well. I wouldn’t recommend this, unless you are a fan of one of the actors/actresses.

Wrongly Titled, should be: Lesson in Sex

LIKES:
Good lighting and production.
Believable sex scenes.
The FL was very pretty with a nice body.
They didn’t make the younger ML a high school student.
The ML was shown to be a good sketch artist.
The ending.

DISLIKES:
There was actually very little story and script.
Pacing of their first physical encounter was done too quick, so it was less impactful than they wanted it to be.
This was more soft-core porn, than love or romance. Too much of seeing breasts, not much shown from him (abs, chest, etc.). They could’ve done this a little more tastefully (and no pun intended).
The music sucked, especially the parts where she ‘wrote the song’. To show that the young college student (nude models are not in high school art class) was her muse, they could’ve made her a painter or sculpture, gaining inspiration from their encounters. That would’ve made more sense.

OVERALL:
Wont watch it again. Only recommend it to someone looking for soft-core porn.
