Falls slightly outside my personal preferences

GMMTV's production quality shines through in the cinematography and colour grading of the series, but the plot falls short with its simplistic and predictable nature. The clear-cut plotlines introduced separately result in a lack of anticipation and cohesion, making it difficult to fully immerse yourself in the story.
While the main couple shows some good chemistry, their story lacks depth and substance, hindering true emotional investment in their relationship. The cringey moments of the second couple overshadow any potential for genuine connection, while the initial charm of the third couple quickly fades.
The show's Japanese origin is noticable in many unrealistic scenes that detract from the viewing experience, and despite the interesting concept of mind reading, the story fails to fully capitalize on this unique element.
Although the twist of both Karan and Achi proposing simultaneously was a refreshing moment, the unnecessary wedding theme added to the overall feeling of a lackluster conclusion for each couple. With the second couple getting engaged and the third couple starting to officially date, the series felt more like a checklist of obligatory relationship resolutions rather than natural progressions. Overall, the final episodes of the series felt like a chore to get through.
