Cute, But Dragged On Too Long
LIKES:
Cinematography, set locations, production and lighting all done well, however we have seen these locations in other rom-coms and so nothing was new.
Cast well chosen for respective roles.
Very low key romance, but still the couple interactions suited the title. I liked the gentle affection between the FL and ML too.
Acceptable ending, yet typical and boring.
DISLIKES:
WRITING:
Felt more like a middle school or high school drama, then college or university students.
Dragged out the whole moment of confession for too many episodes. It was cute at first and then got boring, with over done interruptions and misunderstandings. Character growth was very limited for everyone.
Really disliked the over-the-top-cutesy Xin Yu (Red Chu’s cousin the dancer), to the point I fast forwarded every time she came on the screen, by the time I reached Episode 14. They made her too idiotic.
ANIMALS:
I felt sorry for the rabbit trapped in the way too small cage and same with the turtle, neither could even move.
PACING/DIRECTING: overly long reaction times, too much film time spent on boring things and monotonous cliche moments. This could’ve been finished with just 18 episodes, if that. Fast forward became necessary. Seriously we didn’t get progress until episode 18 & 19!
OVERALL:
Many parts reminded me of both Unrequited Love and Put Your Head On My Shoulder, dramas. This was like a mash up of those two, but they were much better dramas. If a person is young or just starting out in the rom-com, young adult genre, this would be okay to recommend. I wont watch it or any parts of it again. There are better shows in viewing land to watch, than this one.
