My Friend, the Enemy (2022)

a waste of talented actors.

"My Friend the Enemy" was a story in a perpetual loop; where the same outcome, without a resolution was played forward each week. Producers had an opportunity to do something creative; it was suppose to be about a law office, the people inside it, and friends with a less than friendly relationship. And, because of that, character development was the lifeline most watchers grabbed onto in this drama. In the hopes it would be worth it in the end, but the only thing that grew was frustration. Little did they know it was an anchor, to drown them in repetition and nonsensical eruptions of 'salacious' and 'exploitive' drama till the next episode. Then, they did the one thing I didn't expect, to lay all the karma, on only one female lead. So, in the end, this series is a lesson in nonsense (one of those lessons being a revenge gang rape), and a waste of talented actors is the final outcome. The finale didn't save this, because the previous 15 disjointed episodes didn't lead us there. Not recommended.

Another love triangle? Well, at least, this is more interesting because we have 3 people competing for 2 spots in law company. It's 2 girls and 1 boy. With the boy having a face of Pon Nawasch (ugh), I was prepared to cheer for girls, who quickly became friends and wowed they will be the ones staying. Better real girls than a guy with a face like a girl, I thought... But, sadly it's soon revealed one of the girls is psycho. You know how I say: The words "Less Is More" should be tattooed on all the scriptwriter's foreheads? Someone STILL didn't get that story like this, having 3 normal people WOULD suffice for good drama.

Dropped by episode 3... Neither of the two main boys is my type. One of the main girls is psycho, and it's not my kind of entertainment watching psychos. Perhaps had the original cast (from 'Hormones') stayed, it would be more enjoyable... Or perhaps they were lucky to get out.
