I'm gonna ruffle some feathers

Gather around children I am going to tell you a story...

Have you ever heard the story of how a bucket of delicious friend chicken called KFC wanted so badly to fall in love with the very desirable noodles called OK mama? And how this bucket of chicken jumped from one universe to another and suddenly found itself in the body of a very moist choco moon pie and had to find a way to win the heart of the noodles, but couldn't figure out who the noodle was in this new universe? Only to learn that the noodle was a two-timing tooth paste hell bent on conquering the new universe as when they were Ok Mama they couldn't do much, but now they had all the power in the world to make everyone else suffer through countless commercial and product placement moments! Only for the Choco moon pie find itself falling for the Lay's potato chips who together with other products were able to defeat Ok Mama (tooth paste) and then KFC and Lay's Potato Chips were able to go back to their own universe and be happily ever after! The End.

Seriously, this drama was 80% commercial/product placement. The premise of the alternate universe as a plot was nowhere to be seen and only got touched on a few times to make some cockamamie point that we all could see a mile away.

I am sorry but this had so much potential. If they had left out the whole universe/sci-fi element, this would have been an okay fluffy romance drama. As it was, this was more like GMM ran out of money and ideas and decided to test this new way of making money by sacrificing the story and the actors.

I think the drama itself is okay if you want something mindless to watch when you can't find anything else. I didn't get sold on the chemistry of the main leads sometimes it felt strange, like neither one wanted to be in the same personal space. But they did have some nice kiss scenes.

The only interesting characters to me were Don (I wish I had seen more of her) and Talay's manager in the end who I wanted to know more about, maybe he liked Talay more than just as his artist? Could have been explored.

However, the cinematography was beautiful and a lot of these locations were dreamy. That gets a 10/10
