So Much in Love (2020)

UHHHH

Ok, so in all honesty I have no idea how I finished this show. It was a struggle, no lie! Watching it on LineTV there's a few spots in each episode that aren't subbed, but I assure you it's not enough to miss out on anything. Moving on... I gave it a shot since most of the cast were new actors and my ratings isn't caused by their acting, but by the awful storyline. The plot was a hot mess! I mean scattered and smothered all over the place. I legit skipped a good portion and I know for a fact I didn't miss much. The ONLY thing that helped me get by were the sex scenes(no shame)and they were few and far between. The actors were attractive af but that only gets you so far. I wish them all luck in their acting careers but I gotta say....My re-watch value is ZERO but I might consider recommending to my enemy.

Ok, so it is not good but...it's not bad

So I read several reviews before I watched and I totally understand the perspective. I will say though that once you get to ep 7/8 I think the story really picks up. The first couple of episodes are an utter mess and you have no idea what is going on and it is not even because of missing or poor subtitling. There were just too many stories to try and organize at the beginning that was intended to bring the viewers in but it just caused a mess.

Once the individual plots start to develop and unravel it gets more interesting. The undertone in the story especially around North's mother and her irrational behavior and thinking, especially with the volleyball team is the driving force in the drama. I also especially like that there were no gay panic moments. There are four couples (well 5) and at no point does anyone do the I need to hide our relationship or freak out because they realize they like another man. The seemingly unconditional support of the trans characters. The side couples stories could have been more developed and because they were you were kind of like why are you here and then you remember it is for the sex scenes.

There were a number of moments that just were pointless and someone unresolved like the drug addicted boyfriend and the lesbian couple. There is one major story that just kind of ends without telling a major point. *Spoiler start* How can you show the sister get murdered and then never address that fact especially when she could literally tell you who did it? *Spoiler end*

Some of the VA side scenes were funny and made you like the actors more which drew you into their characters a bit more.

This had a lot of potential, but I'd say watch for the MC and if you want the sex scenes (especially Mai & Wan) you can fast forward through everything else
