Wasted
When I saw the trailer I was excited and I rewatched it. I loved Milk and Love from Bad Buddy so I was looking forward to this. The first episode although okay was still a doozy for me and took me out as I started to wonder what was happening. Every episode I kept wondering if there was a point of the series and when it would come into play. Honestly, it kept getting boring and I started watching in 2x.The lack of parenting in this series. Seriously where was everyone (besides when the plot needed it)? Sun's parents seem okay but Ongsa and Alpha parents need a talking to. These girls were let down by the adults in their life. Everything is just happy-go-lucky and that's not real life. Stopping by and just casually sleeping over at each other's house, running off and no one being able to contact you and facing no repercussions. Like WHAT?!
I kept watching because I wanted to see the entire thing through to the end but it was a struggle for me as I kept falling asleep and fast-forwarding as I was bored. There were so many gaps, and long periods of silence, and then skipping to the next scene just took me out of it. The acting wasn't anything compelling and even the friend groups were a bit boring. It's like nothing was going on. I agree not everything needs to have a plot but give me SOMETHING. I'm not really sure what happened when they were planning this but this was very weak and forgettable. I'm a bit nervous for the others to come but I'll trust everything to go well.
Characters:
Ongsa - I just can't with her. She's too much, I'm afraid. The unnecessary screaming and theatrics were getting on my nerves. She was doing too much. Even if a lot of us are introverted, I don't believe for a second that we all act like this. Her catfishing Sun was still messed up and should've been addressed.
Sun - She was not given time to shine and most times I forgot she was there because the writers forgot about her as well. Her also outing Ongsa, Aylin and Luna is still a no-no for me.
Ongsa & Sun - I'm still not sure why Ongsa likes Sun and I'm even more confused as to why Sun likes Ongsa. No development. Things that should be an issue are resolved too quickly. Also, they don't have any chemistry. I was really confused because they worked so well in Bad Buddy.
Aylin - Love this girl. I kept watching for her if I'm being honest. She just stole the show for me. But she needs help. This girl was let down by the grown-ups in her life. Her, Ongsa, and Alpha.
Luna - I liked Luna not gonna lie but I wasn't pleased with her forcing Aylin out of her shell like that but things worked out in the end.
Aylin & Luna - I'm not really sure how they began to like each other but they actually had chemistry and I enjoyed their scenes. I wanted to see more of them.
Alpha - Oh lord, they did my girl dirty. They could've done such good things with her storyline. But she was just floating around until the plot needed her.
Tohn, Tinh, Mawin, and Charoen - Tohn got annoying at the end especially since he refused to leave Charoen alone. Not sure why they were trying to make Tinh and Mawin a thing when they had no chemistry and barely had scenes.
Nita and Bambam - I liked these two and how they'd give advice when needed.
