It's not bad, it's just boring

I didn’t really care that much for Fiat and Leo on Tharntype 2, but I understood that they had potential to lead their own series. Ja and First are good in the roles and have chemistry, so that’s already half of the way. My problem with Don’t Say No is that the show was boring and I don’t feel like it’s got a real story to be developed.

Unlike many shows nowadays, we only get two couples to follow, even though he have a good number of secondary characters. That alone would be a good aspect. But, unlike the majority of people I see commenting about DSN, I don’t really like either of the couples. Leo and Fiat are OK, they usually give cute comments, and there are a fair amount of steamy scenes too. But the writers don’t have much to do with there story, since they start the season loving each other and can only “break up” towards the end of the season. So what do they do? The create a blackmail plot every few episodes. Fiat alone got blackmailed/manipulated 3 times in less than 12 episodes, by the weird guy at the start of the season, by King and, emotionally, by his mom.

Pop and Leon, on the other hand, bore me to no limit. I think the real problem is that I really don’t like the innocent all perfect type, which Pob fit’s 100% into. Characters that are too perfect are the worst type for me. Pob reminded me too much of the worse aspects of characters like Tutor (Why R U), Pharm (UWMA) and, specially, Meen (Fish Upon the Sky). I could not get invested in their story nor was I sad to see them end up apart.

But its not all bad. I like how both family’s are 100% OK with their relationship and are the biggest shippers of LeoFiat. I also liked that they addressed, briefly, the fact that Leo and Fiat live alone in a gigantic house, with no maids. The friend group annoyed me a bit in the beginning on the season, since they took up a lot of screen time. But, by the end, I was OK with them.
