The Day the Music Died
Since we are the first story in season 2, we are the first review; let's go. I have a lot of feelings about them and their story, so let's actually get into it. I would give it an 8.5 (8.81) out of 10. Then, y'all know the drill: I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't like, and then do an episode overview.
Starting with the plot. I think they could have done it a bit better, but I like the whole thing with the sister, even though I really should hate it; I thought it was pretty good. I just wish they wrote it out a little bit better because there were still a few plot holes. But god, it just made me so sad, the whole thing with the sister and how he is a disappointment because of that, so I guess the writing was pretty good. This is also what I wrote the headline off of, because the day she died, everything after that was terrible for Typhoon.
Once again, just like the original, the romance and character writing was phenomenal, and I am actually gagged. Every character felt like a real person, because they were brought to life in that way. I also think that, because of that, some parts had the same charm as the first one, so I liked that too. (They did jump the gun with their romance, though, which I am not very fond of.
They have such good chemistry, so I quite enjoyed their kissing and all that. EAT EATING ATEEEE, BECAUSE I DON'T PLAY. I also love the actors' off-screen chemistry too, and it is always a joy to see them on my four you page (or should I say fourever you page (see what I did there, I will be here all day bruh or until I finish all my reviews for this show lmao)).
I LOVE WHEN THE FRIEND GROUP IS ALL TOGETHER, OH MY GOD THAT'S BETTER THAN ANY SEX SCENE.
Regarding things I didn't like, the start was so incredibly lackluster, my lord. I loved season 1, and I would give my life to watch that again for the first time, so my standards were very high for this. And I was ultimately let down by the start of this one. I feel like we were just thrown into the deep end of lore that halfway made sense and expected to swim. AND let's just say, I didn't swim. I was fucking DROWNING BITCH.
Next up was our 'wolf in sheep's clothing.' So before I go on the rant that I am about to go on, I wanna preface that I love Bever and Tonliew, and they have such good chemistry AND are amazing actors. But the power dynamic they have this is literally the most problematic thing ever, and it was really hard to ignore. The whole thing with Bever's character 'respecting him' was fine until he's like I am only doing this so you like me; I actually have no problem coming on to you. I didn't like that one bit, oh my god. Also, the fact that they grew up together makes the dynamic so much weirder, and I actually can't get behind it at all. Like, at least for the other character they are openly evil and at least are somewhat respectful; he's just not, and I don't fuck with that at all. Okay rant over...for now. My reaction for their dynamic changing lmao, "DYNAMIC CHANGE HELLO. CAUGHT MY REACTION ON INSTA. "I'm starting to lose my patience now." WHATEVER YOU SAY NEXT OR HAPPENS NEXT CAN'T EXCUSE THIS LINE AND THEIR DYNAMIC IS LOWKEY CHANGED FOR ME. Help. HELP. WHAT THE HELL, I CAN'T MOVE ON FROM THAT."
On top of that, there was a lot of bullshit in the episodes. I think that they needed to cool it on the filler, especially with how short it is; like, just tell me the fucking plot line before I get violent. Also, in regards to other bull shit, the confession bit was lowkey so bullshit. I was at a loss for words. I feel like they were doing too much when they should have just had a flat-out confession; stop giving me all this run-around shit. Going back to this with lackluster ass shit. Some episodes were interesting for a little bit, and then they would go to this lackluster boring shit, like we are pissing me off, silly.
THE WAY HE FOUND OUT THAT TORFUN DIED SUCKKKK, OH MY GOD. Like, we built our love story off of her; what are we even talking about right now, huh? He was just kind of like Oh yeah, your sister's been dead even though she's been texting me; I have known for a while now. LIKE WHAT? That should have been a bigger deal. I am dead.
Episode overview, let's go. Episode 3: "Smiling, but just remember they are grown men, and there is nothing to be smiling about." Episode 4: "YALL WANNA FUCK, STOP LYING, LYING STRAIGHT TO MY FACE, THE LOOKS HAVE ME DEAD. The blind leading the blind. THIS IS MY BIGGEST FEAR, I SWEAR TO GOD. GETTING LOCKED IN THE BATHROOM AND NO ONE FINDING ME AND THEN I JUST DIE. They are so cute. I did need a trigger warning for getting locked in the bathroom tho." Episode 6: "Does anyone in their friend group have a car?" "FAH FREAKED ALL THE WAY OUT. LIKE. Love LOVE LOVE their height difference. This show is hella quiet, also FAH GIVES ME SUCH BAD VIBES LMAO. Like, I think it's just Bevers' face; it's like innocent but evil. HE IS ALL UP ON HIM THIS EPISODE, GET OFF HIM." Episode 7: "But we are back. WHY IS P'FAH ALWAYS TRYING TO GET BEHIND HIM, FAH GET BACK YOU FREAK. BRO BEVER AND TONLIEW ONLY HAVE A YEAR IN BETWEEN THEM, WHY IS TONLIEW SO TINY? dude why are they even in Japan? TONFAH STOPPPP THOSE EYES ARE GNARLYYY. I love when the friend group is together. Fah and Jo have me dead. North just ate that holy fuck. Drop Fah for North lmao. I am dying; North fucking ate that punch, and I am so dead. Also, Easter is getting here faster than y'all men lmao." Episode 8: "Hey, I know I have said like four words total in both seasons, but my hair is going to be perfect, and I am gonna serve face." - probably oat. I lowkey ship Earth and bas lmao."
Yeah, I had a lot to say for this one, and not a lot of it was positive, and I am so sorry. I do like Bever and Tonliew a lot; I just think their story was kind of meh. I don't know. Watch it if you want, though, because my friend really enjoyed them; I just didn't. Okay bye!
