No seriously, just watch the Pete Kao cut.

I'm a bit of a purist. When I start a series, I like to watch the whole thing. I watched _Kiss_ and really liked it, despite some of its drawbacks. The plot dragged at times but at its heart, it was a simple story about two sisters with interesting conflicts and a solid cast of characters.

Then we get to _Kiss Me Again_ and oh man, people weren't kidding when they said to just skip the "straight drama." Now look -- I'm all for giving straight people their rights. Normally if there's a BL side couple in a show, I'm not one of the people who sill skip the straight drama. But oh man. The San-sisters need a lot of help.

This is one of those shows that follows many different storylines. In this case, each of Sandee's sisters (with the exception of Sanrak, whose story was told in _Kiss_) get a storyline, and then there's one for Pete/Kao. The sisters' stories are all varying degrees of chaotic and messy.

Sansuay is annoying and her storyline was the first I gave up on, simply out of boredom. I actually can't even remember what happened with her, I just remember her being a brat lol.

Sanson is terrible. She's a Y Girl who is so obsessed with gay men that she basically stalks a friend of hers who she thinks is gay, totally intrudes on his life and messes things up for him and his friend, then they FALL IN LOVE because I guess that's what you do after someone stalks you, asks invasive questions about your sexuality, and outs you to your mom when you're not even gay?!?!!?!?! Girls who treat gay men like their own personal toys are one of the worst tropes that I see all the time on GMMTV. Sanson might be the worst of those kinds of girls.

Then there's Sanwan. Sanwan is the only one of this season's main sisters who I actually liked. But that just made me more mad when her storyline was so absurd and did her so dirty. Essentially, her main love interest is toxic and my girl KNOWS THAT but EVERYONE IN HER LIFE gaslights her and pushes her toward him -- including Sandee, by the way. Completely inconsistent with her character. Sandee would NEVER let one of her sisters be involved with a guy who treats her like that! -- but anyway, the toxic guy ends up being "redeemed" after he saves her from a more toxic guy and has a change of heart. I stuck with Sanwan's story the longest because I liked her character a lot, but her storyline was so painful that I gave up on it too.

AND THEN there's Pete and Kao. It's bizarre to me that this storyline is part of the same show. In my opinion, this is the best Pete / Kao storyline we get. They're fine in _Kiss_ but their story is very much a side plot. I don't like Pete in DBK. He's bratty and petty and nothing like he is in the other shows. But Pete and Kao's story in Kiss Me Again is really good. Apparently GMMTV agrees with me because they took this show off of YouTube and only left the Pete Kao cut up lol.
