I should have known when I heard the bagpipes that this show was gonna be cheeks
I just finished this stupid-ass show (like a month ago now), and I have a lot to say, both positive and negative. I would give it an 8 (7.95) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't like, do an episode overview, and be done with this stupid fucking show. So yeah, let's get into it.
Starting out with what I liked, I enjoyed the actors in this quite a bit. I think they all did a pretty good job, even though I could tell they are kind of new at acting. The chemistry between the main couples was good, and that part I enjoyed. While I am not particularly fond of the characters, I think the actors did a good job bringing them to life. The guy who played Rit was so aware that this show was low-key ass, and it was really funny, and I low-key liked it. I wish they did more fourth-wall breaking like they did at the start because that was really funny. He was just like, well aware, like, oh my God, what the fuck am I acting in right now? And I love that for him. Also, regarding actors and stuff I liked about them, the guy who played pure lowkey was way too into his role. Like, oh my God. The looks he was giving the other guy were very good; immaculate acting on his part. He and the main love interest looked really similar, but it is okay. Very good at acting. He was very on the nose, and I hope to see him in some more stuff because I like his acting style. It feels very kind of natural, like the guy who played Rit, but more of a Hey, maybe you need to step back and realize that you guys are not actually in love, kind of natural. Still, I enjoyed it.
Moving on to the overall plot of this show, I have a lot of negative feelings about the plot, but we are going to talk about the positive ones. I really enjoyed the plot twist. I low-key was not expecting that. I was expecting this show to just be like, oh, Rit tells him, Inn gets mad, and then they just spend the whole time making up. But no, Inn has known this entire time, and he, in fact, lied back to Rit about not knowing that he is lying to him, and then he set up the entire show to be a lie on top of a lie, which was low-key good., I cannot lie (see what I did there) because I was not expecting that. With the three musketeers or whatever the fuck they were called, I thought that was weird, but I was not expecting it to be an entire lie. Like, he is paying these people to just get them married and get him in his house, which is low-key crazy. Diabolical planning on his part, that is all I have to say. And then also, with the best friend being in on the lie along with the K-pop idol, holy shit. And Rit had every right to be mad because that was fucking crazy that everyone in his life was in on this goddamn lie. I thought that was low-key well done because I was not expecting that. Also, kind of regarding the plot, I think their sex scenes were well done. They were overdone, but they did well besides the bagpipes. I did not like that. I should have known with the bagpipes that this entire show was going to go downhill from there. But yeah, the sex scenes- some of them felt a little bit out of place, but I think they still did pretty well, so good for them because they brought those to life as well.
Regarding things I didn't like, this entire show. Bullshit on bullshit on bullshit. Starting off with... The main plot, this was... God awful. I thought it was just gonna be like a nice, light watch, but it was just like, kind of sloppy. Like... Okay, so he's a fortune teller with stones, and he lies about fortune telling to get with a guy he's had a crush on since elementary school, but they have like an age gap too, but the guy also had a crush on him in elementary school, so that just gets fucking weird and confusing. They should have done the part where they show that he has had a crush on him since elementary school earlier, because it just got confusing, and I feel like they were getting lost in the sauce with this. And I'm like, okay, yeah, I think my main criticism is that the plot felt sloppy and underdone. Like, you can have underdone plots, but you need, like... To just have the plot be better, because this was just a mess. And I don't blame the actors, because I think they did okay. Uh, but the director-whoever wrote this-we need to go back to the drawing board, pick up the gun, and we need to fucking shoot ourselves, because there's actually no way that we came up with something this fucking stupid. And it's just like your sky, where they have a bar named after the thing, but instead of, like, your sky where they go to the bar once, the entire plot takes place in this fuck-ass bar. And I was like, what the hell? I feel like we're always at the bar, but also we're never at the bar. I'm so fucking confused. And also, the main guy who it's based on does not even own the bar. Like, why is it called Magic Move if he doesn't own the bar? I'm so fucking confused.
I FORGOT ABOUT THE SOUND EFFECTS. OH MY FUCKINGGGGG GODDDDDD. THE BAGPIPES WERE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG BECAUSE THEY WERE SO FUCKING BAD. WHOEVER DID THAT, I AM GONNA FIND YOU AND DO UNSPEAKABLE ACTS TO YOU, AND THEN T BAG YOUR BODY.
Going into characters, the random guy who tried to split them apart—was he doing that for the love of the game? Was he in love with one of them? I am so confused. That was so underdone and so terrible. I do not know who came up with that, but that was awful. I am so confused. Then the guy sends an AI video to In, and In goes to this abandoned warehouse to find his man, but the man is not there because the video was AI. Then the guy gets arrested; he is cutting himself, and the knife is fake. I am so confused. Who came up with that? You are terrible at your job. I cannot fathom how that went through multiple people, and everybody signed off on that. That was terrible. I also love the girls and their dance thing with the K-pop idol, but no, that felt so irrelevant. They just randomly started doing it. It is like, oh, we have a big competition to go to. What competition are we talking about? What are we doing? What is going on? They never go to the competition. They just do the same dance six times in the same outfit. The K-pop idol just stands there giving false criticism. Do not piss me off. Whoever came up with that, go back to the drawing board and ALSO grab the gun.
In the end, this show is ass; the ending was choppy, the show was choppy, and I'm irritated as fuck, HEY BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE OUR FUCKING BAG PIPIES, RIGHTTTTTT??????
Okay, onto some fun quotes from those episodes. Episode 1: "He has a crush on this tall guy who looks exactly like the guy who runs the bar just slightly cuter and I’m not quite sure how they’re gonna drag this out for 10 more episodes but okay also whoever is on the sound button you need to be fired cause what the fuck are you fucking doing you dumb bitch what the fuck there comes a point we’re past that point and you need to be fired." Episode 2: "This show is so BS and I want to hate it, but I can't lmao." Episode 3: "Holy hickory doo dah bro. This whole show. Okay so he's not wrong about the prophecy because he's in love with its less sexy twin who owns the bar. I’m gonna do one more episode because twist my arm, I guess." Episode 4: "It might be the fact that it’s 1:30 in the morning or the fact that they just played in my face for 47 minutes, but what the fuck." Episode 5: "THERE'S LIKE 6 THINGS HAPPENED AT ONCE, AND I WANT TO HATE IT ESPECIALLY WITH THE BAGPIPES, BUT FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T. I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO HATE THIS DUMB ASS SHIT." Episode 6: "To the guy in the second couple who's not the bar owner, I would watch out after filming bc HOMEBOY LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO HIT THAT." "WHY HAVE WE FUCKED MORE TIMES THAN THERE HAVE BEEN EPISODES? ALSO YOURE MOM JUST GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL, AND YALL ARE FUCKING IN THE LIVING ROOMM??? HAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS? I'll answer that YES WE HAVE BITCH." Episode 7: "Someone tell the guy who's playing Pure to lock out for a second because those LOOKS ARE CRAZY." Episode 8: "There are levels to this." Episode 9: "Also, the grandpa died just really quickly, like really quickly, really randomly. I'm so lost. I have one episode left. I'm gonna force myself to watch this shit, but just know I'm not gonna do it happily."
I really want to hate this show, and I do, but not fully, so I guess give it a chance; just make sure your brain is off, and your eyes are closed lmao. Okay bye!
