USERS & SCHEMERS GALORE! THEO DOESN'T DESERVE AK
With so many toxic and obnoxious characters here (and MAIN characters at that!!), this should be retitled USERS & SCHEMERS. Haha!
The “contenders,” for me their reasons for doing what they did are forced and contrived. From PHUPHA (he wants to move away from his mother. Really??) to WAYO (used funds for gambling) to NATEE (for an exhibit and to keep a club from being axed, really?). SAIFA – It was Theo who asked him to be a part of his inane “Enchante” idea. Really?? Doesn’t make sense if you really think about it.
I hate who they wrote Theo’s part. To me, his character was cold, detached, scheming (yes, he was the one who masterminded this Enchante bs, right?) so he deserved the backlash/consequences he got from the “contenders.” His character was wayyyyy too unfeeling. He doesn’t deserve Ak. Ak deserves a better person. The give-and-take of affection between the MLs is lopsided at best.
Watching the first half of the finale episode, I couldn’t care less if Theo is leaving. Go! And let Ak find someone who will love him more than you do.
The series was too long. It could have been edited to 5 episodes and many scenes could be removed or shortened. Learn from ITSAY and CHERRY MAGIC (both 5 episodes).
But… despite these, the chemistry between the two actors is its asset.
Plus point also: cinematography and camerawork nito. Above average.
7.5 / 10
