When a show has *basically* everything and still fails

This show had potential, but 14 episodes of build up end up taking you nowhere.

New and Earth don’t really have that much romantic chemistry, but I think the pairing somewhat worked. The other pairs, not that much. I really don’t understand the idea behind Pan’s story. Having a strong lesbian character was one of the strongest aspects of this show, but in the end she gets a rushed ending with Fah?! Wan and Min’s story was a circle of repetition. The new couch plot line was very bad. And what’s up with the high school and college relationships on this show?!

I understand that there’s been some time since Kan and Tee relationship became “public”, but I feel like people don’t seem to understand how problematic it was and see Waii’s reasoning. I know this show came out in 2017, but the “half of the couple decides to spend 1 year abroad our or nowhere in the last episode” is a lazy plot device. Besides the travel cliche we all get the coward main character that spends 14 episodes unable to break up with the girlfriend + the villain girlfriend in a BL.

If the actors were really bad I wouldn’t mind it too much, but this cast had so much potential! To be fair, New and Earth got better in other projects, but people like White, Piglet and Victor were actually good here.
