A Story Made From Whoever is Left in En of Love

To be clear, En of Love, as a whole, was not good. There are good moments of acting or some funny dialogue, but overall, just bad. "This is Love Story" is the worst of the three. Neua is a character who is defined by others throughout the series in very negative ways, and he does almost nothing to contradict what is being said. All of his closest friends mock him and try to derail what he is trying to do with Praram. There is no need for twins, so that is just bad writing, and Praram seems to have no opinion about what is happening with being courted by a college guy. The result is that the age difference seems even larger than what it is, which makes for a cringe effect of an old man preying on a sweet, young boy (the scene in Neua's bedroom). The character choices were played wrong. Praram can be sweet and naive without having to act like he is 9 years old, and just because Neua is older doesn't mean he has to "take care" of Praram like he is a child. Realistically, the age difference is probably around 4 years, but it is made much bigger in the portrayal. Tossakan, again, is a let-down as a big brother who supposedly has an opinion about the whole courtship, but ends up disappearing. There was too much reliance on social media posting instead of actual acting to tell the story, and there was very little character development for previous characters, like Vee and Mark, who seem to physically hit each other now, which is disappointing. Benz, who played the twins, is really cute and should get some more acting jobs right away, while the other guy should go back to university. It was great seeing Karn from "Grey Rainbow" as Em, but it just made me realize how he would've been a much better Neua. These 3 episodes didn't deliver at all. The behind-the-scenes "Diary" episode was more interesting.
