Made it to look Funny........But felt Cringe.......

I watched it(Marry Go Round) because I really liked "Destiny Seeker"(with same leads). Considering the runtime and the episodes it just felt like a movie with a routine Thai drama story and nothing new. According to me, the entire team tried to make us laugh but it did not work out.

One thing I would like to address is that visuals are good, but the acting felt so cringe and a bit exaggerating. Except for Earth, I think his character is somewhat okay(bearable). But the climax where the parents accept their relationship is somewhat emotional and felt worth watching the climax.

After watching it I only wanted to say to the cast in the drama that "Communication is the key to every relationship". If only they talked to each other this whole story would have ended in 40 mins of runtime. One misunderstanding lead to the whole fake marriage thing.

One commendable thing is that even though it is a two episode drama they tried to make it look lavish and did not compromise on the budget. The leads are really great actors. Hope to see them in a drama with a strong story instead of a drama special. Wishing them the best for their future endeavours.

P.S. - Watch it at your own risk!!! Cause this is not everyone's cup of tea.

Better than expected

The amount of lies and sneaking around they did to avoid telling the parents whose wedding it is… it’s ridiculous! The weird part? I’m not even mad about it. I was ready to hate it, but I ended up enjoying it more than I thought. Is it the best? No. I think the plot and characters could use some more work, but I also understand there are only two episodes, so they can’t develop everything as detailed as they should.

I like both Boss and Tob. The fact that the two are already in an established relationship is great, we usually only see the chase part of the relationship in such series. Neither of them is good at tackling the problem at hand (aka the parents), but I guess that’s one more thing the two are a good match in. The actors had great chemistry, I loved the looks and soft smiles they shared.

Also, how many more real, fake and wanna-be boyfriends can Mei have? She’s a fun character, even if she can be a bit too much at times. As annoying as I sometimes found Emmy, the self-proclaimed fujoshi, she is actually a really good person. Although a bit noisy.

I think the main plot points actually tackle some important issues many people face in real life, especially in countries where being in a same-sex relationship is not recognized by the law. I am not sure how I feel about the comedic approach to it. On one hand, I like that they tried to go the lighthearted way with it and had fun with it. But on the other hand, it feels very dismissive of the experiences of those who go through something similar in real life.

It spirals out of control

Truth be told, the high rating is only because I adore the leads. They have beautiful chemistry, oh so smooth, which is why it sucks that the story barely focused on them.

Every single character but Boss and Tob probably had more screentime, and I wouldn't really say it helped the story. Over the top acting, stilted dialogue, they couldn't get it right. There are plenty of dramas that depict unfettered chaos in the form of chaotic characters and situations like We Are Both Grooms and We Are Gamily, but despite the premise being similar it didn't hit the same. The runtime is of course not quite enough, but there are ways to make it more enjoyable.

Despite the drawbacks, it is a short enough series where the chemistry between the leads shines even with their minimal screentime. They need another series because watching this will make you want to watch (or rewatch) Destiny Seeker

I tried but it did't work out

I came here after watching You are my Soul Mate and get really disappointed.

I know I shouldn't compare but I could feel the drop in standard

I don't feel as entertained at all. It's not that funny, nor loving or cute. It just feels like a bunch of a mess.

I tried to watch since it's a short episode anyway but can't stand it and dropped it after 1.2 episode lol

Although, there are some funny moments but overall its quite boring and just nothing much is happening

Ngakak banget sih ini, wkkwkw

Series ini menurutku sudah sangat bagus ya walaupun mengangkat cerita yang "biasa" aja. Walaupun seperti itu, namun series ini tetap bisa menyajikan drama series yang bagus. Dari segi warna sangat saturated ya menurutku, nuansanya sangat detail dan cerah ceria; dari segi dialog dan alur, sangat mudah difahami, karena ceritanya yang sederhana - konflik yang terjadipun menjadi lebih sederhana dengan resolusi yang sederhana juga - tidak ada yang terlalu unik dari series ini. Hal yang bagus di series ini adalah tentang komedinya yang menurutku sangat dapet ya, walaupun beberapa berkata itu "cringe atau crince" tapi menurutku untuk sekedar drama pendek, ini sangat bagus dan moodbooster. Series ini punya life meaning tentang kejujuran ; walaupun ya ~ penyampaiannya terlalu sederhana. Saya merekomendasikan series ini jika kalian sudah menonton "destiny seeker" demi kepuasan menonton hingga 2x lipat.

No se pierden de nada

He visto mejores cosas, esta historia es parte de Y universe y la verdad me decepciono demasiado.

La historia tenia potencia y los actores principales se que tienen química, pero en esta serie no funciono nada, no sentí la química de sus personajes, y se debe a que su historia ni parecía de ellos, es mas la historia no aprecia de nadie, esto fue todo un arroz con mango sin sentido, quisieron contar y abarcar tantos puntos y al final dejaron todo. suelto y no supieron como arreglar ese manojo de ideas y simplemente lo tiraron sin mas, no sentí evolución en ningún personaje y la verdad que había un personaje que hicieron en extremo ridícula al punto que ya hasta daba vergüenza verlo en escena (si hablo de Emmy) me encontré un personaje sin gracia que solo intenta ridiculizar a las fans del BL y que las retratas como unas morbosas que solo esperan ver una pareja para mínimo Mastercard viéndolos... es que es la idea que retrata la verdad... no me gusto nada esta historia y es una pena que la idea la plantearan tan mal siendo un concepto interesante.

Y se que la historia solo tiene dos ep, pero la primera historia que contó Y universe también tenia 2 ep y la contó muy bien y la actuación fue muy buena... quizás sea un director diferente a la primera y eso influye, pero igual... no vale la pena verla.

No se pierden de nada si no la ven, es mas se arrojan tiempo y energía si la evitan... una mas que seguro olvidare pronto y que si no olvido sera de las que nunca recomiende o la ejemplo de cual no ver... Hay mejores historias para ver...

Lo que puedo rescatar es que los actores son guapos... y los portas quisiera ver mas de ellos por fuera... se nota que le ponían empeño pero no le ayudaron a los pobre... lo digo, esta serie ni aprecia tener protagonistas, era una mezcla rara de mucha información y casi nada de desarrollo de las ideas, literalmente era tirando ideas...
