Friendships probably were stronger back then. More time was invested in being with your friends...doing things together...defining and refining social skills just by being together. There were no social media apps to interfere with the time you spent with your best friends. People were probably even more polite back then....not so ready to use harsh words...or to send hurtful texts.
I'm strangely into this show after only 3 episodes, but the orange make-up is so distracting.
So...after I read your comment, I started to pay attention to the facial make up. It seems that not all of the actors have that orange tint that stops short right at the neck. But...it's definitely noticeable now that you've brought it to our attention.
They seem mismatched...there just isn't the right chemistry between them. Also, the script doesn't really make their presence as a couple seem necessary. It's almost as though the writers felt the need to have a 2nd BL couple, so they just added them...without putting much effort into it.
Ram and King RULED as a 2nd couple in My Engineer. They outshined the main couple. But despite their incredible acting and chemistry, Cooper was still the best actor in that series...and held it together well....just as he is doing in this series.
