"So this is what it feels like to be a whore."
I would give my life for Tay and New, so you know I ate this shit up. Overall, I would give it a 9.15 out of 10. Then I am going to say my likes and dislikes, do an episode review, and lay this baby to rest.
Right off the bat, there is a lot to unpack, but starting with what I like, I am going to talk about the main cast, because I loved everyone in there. Starting off with my boys Tay and New, I think I really fell in love with them in Cherry Magic, so you know I was so excited for this shit, and they did not disappoint. I think that Newie is such a sexy fuck, even with that disgusted, confused look on his face twenty-four seven, but he did a good job with this. Also, Tay did his big one; I think he was definitely bringing it home in terms of this show's comedy, and he really did his job because I was fucking dying (and trying to ride that nose, but let's not sweat the small stuff). Their chemistry was good, and it felt really natural in most parts because they were having pretty relatable issues. Love to see it. Three big booms for Tay and New. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
Next up, MondRyu and, of course, LYKN's one and only handsome Tui. Do I like Mond and Ryu together? Meh, I will get back to you on that one. Did I think they did a good job in this show? Yes, they did, so I will give them that. Ryu playing the side piece and Mond playing some guy who was way into helping with the cheating, but yeah, they had a lot of really funny moments and had me laughing pretty much the whole time. And finally, my sweet, doting husband, Tui. Love him to pieces, so seeing him in this was a true delight. He was a background character, I will admit that, but I think he still did a good job making this show even more enjoyable.
Despite the plot of this show actually being so random (because why are an EMT and a flight attendant falling in love (twice because the side couple is that same plot)), it had one of my favorite tropes in it, and that being when the characters are each other's type. This is actually such a random trope, but they did it well, and I loved every second of it. Like they were going from an enemies-to-lovers vibe at the start, which I loved, but New was also exactly Tay's type, and oh my god, I bout nutted on the screen when he said that. I'm done.
I also really liked how Ryu had a crush on Mond in high school. I thought that was actually really cute, and it wasn't a necessary plot point, but because of the way they wrote it out, it felt very natural and fun.
I think I was a bit irritated while watching this because I just wanted them to fall in love immediately after getting rid of the ex, but I am glad they didn't. I mean, he was going to get married to that man, for crying out loud; it's hard to just "move on" after that. So I liked that they waited until Newie was really ready to be with another person and start over. (I think my episode 6 reaction summed up their dynamic in the show so far pretty well: "Sure, he does not have a car, does not have a house, low-key broke as fuck, picked you up in an ambulance, but he would never cheat on you. He would never treat you like you are lesser, by the way, if you even care. Right. He would never come to your friend's fucking birthday party uninvited and propose to you and make you feel bad after he cheated on you for a year, by the way, in case you were fucking wondering.")
I love Pailin (or however you spell it, I am not going to check); she is the fucking goat.
The amount of fourth-wall breaks this show has me sick...in a good way, especially the ending one; that was so fucking funny, I'm gonna cry.
Flipping over to the stuff I didn't like, why did we keep trying to make our relationship with the ex work? I will answer that, because that shit is so realistic. Despite me not liking it as a plot point and also me not liking cheating, I truly think that that is one of the most realistic parts in this whole show. He really wanted to believe that his man wouldn't do that to him ("The government wouldn't do that" oh yes, they would), that he loved him and just needed time, but as they crept closer and closer to the final reveal, it finally hit him, and even then he didn't want to believe it because that's what love is. When you are with someone for that long and expect to marry them, when they do something like cheating, it's completely out of the question until you see it in front of your face, and even then you don't want to believe it. So I don't like it, not because it's bad plot writing, but because it's realistic lmao.
I hate Toto's mom, and I hate that they wanted us to feel bad for her, MAN FUCK HER. It is one thing leaving your grown kid for a foreigner; it's another thing LEAVING YOUR KID WHO'S IN HIGH SCHOOL ALONE FOR THAT FOREIGNER. Girl, bye, you are an awful mom.
Episode overview time. Episode 1: "THIS WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY OH MY GOD. I swear ppl don't like taynew, but THEY ARE MY SHITTTT, I LOVE THESE TWO. ESPECIALLY NEWIE, I DO NOT PLAY ABOUT THAT GROWN ASS MAN, I SWEAR. Him with Lion is so funny bc New hardly tolerates Tay, let alone another guy. Mond is so into his role I am hollerin, and I love Tui to pieces. I still don't know how I feel about Mond and Ryu, but you know, that's fine. They have a power dynamic in this, I think, which should be interesting, but yeah, this shit is so funny, and I need it all out right now, because fuck, I have been waiting for this show for so long." Episode 3: "We hate lying, but not if it's our man? rightttt." Episode 4: " Mond, this is not even your man. Why are we so angry? IM HOLLERIN. He is doing this for the love of the game right now. I think the crazy part about this is that he is not even friends with the guy who got cheated on. He is just doing this for the love of the game. Because why? New is trying so hard not to laugh lmao. The guy in the back of the theater who passed out has me dead. COMMENT ON THE NOSE JOB WAS CRAZYYY. Aweeee, he had a crush on him in high school, and now he's a hoe. Sing it, babbyyyy. How is the restaurant letting them get away with this? Lmaoo. He got caught, and he is still lying to you, bro. They are having too much fun with this. Just lost both your hoes in the span of like four minutes. If he cheated to get with you, he is going to cheat on you again." Episode 7: "I can eat cheap with you, but I cannot eat expensive with you. It is low-key deep as fuck." Episode 8: "PAILIN WITH THE LOB, SHOUT OUT MY GIRL. I LOVE THEM. KANIT'S EX WRECKED HIS SELF-ESTEEM, BUT THANK GOD TOTO LOWKEY A BOSS, SO HE'S LIKE FUCK NO." Episode 10: "Hello, marriage, even though we literally got engaged 10 minutes ago. Are they another married couple under GMTV's belt? Love to see it. There is something about these flight attendants that would rather date EMTs than pilots. Because why are we both flight attendants dating EMTs? I will answer that because we both got cheated on by the same man who happened to be a pilot." "Tay always looks like he wants New so bad, and New just looks at him like, okay, who even are you, babe? WE ARE SO DOWN BADDD I AM SO GAGGED AT THE 4TH WALL BREAK. THAT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY FUN."
This show was a wild but really good ride, and I would 100% recommend you check it out. I will for sure be rewatching because I love Tay and New so much. Okay bye!
