not my favorite

my first review.
because i’m frustrated!
i almost dropped this show after episode 9 but a friend convinced me to pick it back up.

i loved this show at first. i loved the work dynamic, i was so excited to see what would eventually happen with Sam’s “no dating rule” while she was dating Mon. i was invested in the cute side characters at the workplace. then at some point in the series… the entire workplace just.. vanishes. what happened with the coworkers? the series just completely takes a turn and the entire thing is suddenly about sam’s grandmother (who made me want to punch my screen every time her face was on it) we kinda just never go back to the workplace setting and see everyone finding out about Sam and Mon’s relationship.

with that being said, after the workplace vanishes, i had to force myself to keep watching the show.. i kept thinking “why are they even together, they do nothing but argue and bicker…” there was a time near the end where i almost hoped that Mon would have just went to England. it would have been a healthy new start for her. not saying she’s innocent, considering how she dated Sam the entire series while Sam technically had a fiancée.

the grandmother’s “change of heart” at the end of the series was just too much. i just couldn’t believe it. there’s no way. i knew it was coming, i saw it coming, i kept thinking to myself; no way is she suddenly going to change her mind. after driving away the first granddaughter for who knows how long, and driving away the second granddaughter LITERALLY TO HER DEATH. and now because Sam is “sad” in the past couple months, she’s going to completely change her horrible demon-like personality? there’s just no way.. and she did. they did it. the show tried to give her a redemption arc. i couldn’t buy it by the end.

Sam was so indecisive i just couldn’t with her anymore.
Mon started acting like a damn pushover at every chance.

..and what happened to the work place setting?!?

i’m hoping the Loyal Pin does justice to these two because i did enjoy their acting despite them not having much of a good story to work with!!!!!!
