Love Mechanics:
People who have read the novel knows how the story of Mark and Vee started. For those who haven’t, they might be turned off by romanticizing assault in this series. However, if you can go beyond that aspect, you’ll appreciate this series in it’s entirety.
Story: This TV adaptation highlights the best parts of the novel and soften the tone thus making that delicate aspect of the novel appears to be consensual rather than demeaning.
Acting/Cast: Both leads has good visuals and great chemistry to boot. This series is better acted than it’s predecessor TOSSARA. You will root for their characters to end up together. War (Mark) nuances and facial expression were good. This time I wasn’t cringing watching the series.
Music: Some may not like the musical scoring however, as for me, it captures that feeling and mood.
I usually watch the previous episode prior to watching the new episode to have that feeling of continuity. I am glad that they made Vee’s character different than the novel. I just hope that they have extended this to about 6-8 episodes instead of just 4 by including Vee’s family and Mark’s mom rather than making the series revolves around their friends and exes.
