While this was a quick and overall fun show to watch, there were a lot of misses with this one for me. I wasn’t overly enthused by the premise— second-chance romances are some of my least favorite— and Sundae as a character wasn’t the type I’d typically enjoy watching. I did come to care for her by the end of the show, but I didn’t love her the way I loved, for example, Mimi from the next segment in this series.

In terms of the love triangle, I personally wasn’t a fan of the main lead at all and really preferred the second lead. The parts of the show I liked the best were when Sundae was either with her friends or with Mile. Those sections were the most fun and authentic for me— and whenever Tankhun came into the picture I wasn’t as interested. I also really disliked how the love triangle was handled in the end, where Mile was made out to be a bad guy out of nowhere just so Sundae was free to end up with Tan. The writers didn’t need to ruin Mile’s character just to make Tan look better, but that’s what they ended up doing.

The final episode was also very weird for me. I understand the writers wanting to make the show, however short it may be, deeper and touch on more serious topics, but I did not like how it was handled. Sundae’s depression wasn’t even really hinted at in the first five episodes and so when it came to light, it felt like a sharp turn in the story. It didn’t feel natural or engrained in the narrative at all.

Even so, I did mostly enjoy watching this. The acting was really strong— every actor did a brilliant job. I loved how the “Girl Next Room” series was introduced with Sky’s rap (it was HILARIOUS) and how we had a rap to preview the next installment in the series at the end. It was very funny and a very creative way to keep tying the shows together.

Overall, it was a fairly sweet and fun show to watch, though honestly I could have done without the final episode. Not one I would probably rewatch, but I’m not upset I watched it.
