Let me wallow in my disappointment.

What a way of ruining a story, I tell you. It's so obvious the writers were trying so unbelievably hard to milk a story that didn't need to be milked because it was good enough the way it was.

~Story:
A mess. I don't even know where to start because there is just so much going on and so much cramped together in such awkward ways that you can't even call this a cohesive story. We had like six couples and all of them were irrelevant. Yes, I'm including the main couple as well. All their stories felt like scrapped drama plots that were meshed together to form a messy story.
This would have been so much better if they got rid of most couples and turned Bank and Golf's side into a movie. Maybe add Tar and Nuefar's story to give a little spice to it. Everything would have been so much simpler and easier to follow if they had edited shit out.

~Cast:
I don't even know. It's kind of decent enough to not make you cringe, but there was a big lack of chemistry between everybody that ended up looking poorly on every episode. I'll talk a little about most couples:

-Bank/Golf: Irrelevant. They were so dry and awkward it was hard to watch. I was surprised at how bad Bank's actor performed here since he did a great job in "Until We Meet Again." Golf's actor has not changed much and it shows. You can tell he's heterosexual because his acting came out too forced and restrained.

-Tar/Nuefar: The best of the bunch. It was still dry as hell, but the chemistry decent enough to make me believe them... a little. Tar's actor NEEDS to work on expressing emotions because he was straight up flat through the whole thing.

-Meka/Hungray: Irrelevant. One looks like a crackhead and the other looks like he's on his way to become one. Again, they were trying so hard to act gay it was kind of sad to see. Let's NOT mention the sexual assault.

-Nut/Kung: I kinda like them. Not the best actors out there, but good enough to make me pay attention. This is one of those couples you wish had their own drama because their plot actually has potential for a little short series.

-I honestly don't even remember the names of the other couples so I won't mention those.

~Editing, pacing, and direction:
More like terrible, terrible, and terrible. I don't even know what the vision was. Like I said, this whole drama looks like a bunch of different scrapped plots randomly put together. And, PLEASE, don't make me mention the unnecessary and slow paced music interludes. This series is what unprofessionalism looks like.

I don't recommend this to anyone. The story is very unnecessary and does not add anything to the original. You should watch the movie and stop there because this drama isn't a must.
