The best one
I do believe I watched them in the wrong order because I should have seen this one before "This Is Love Story," but whatever. Truth is, as long as you watch "TOSSARA" first, it doesn't really matter in what order you watch the next two.
First of all, wow. I left the BEST for last and I am genuinely glad I did. "Love Mechanics" was truly a great work compared with its other two parts, but due to the fact that the story was comprised in only four episodes, there was a lack of... well... a lot of things. Overall though, the writing and acting made this one stand out from the others.
The story was simple and nothing really too complicated to process. It's your typical "we met, we got a thing going on, we messed up, and we reconciled." Simple enough, right? But not bad. I feel like I have seen the types of characters shown in this drama before, so nothing felt "bad" but it definitely wasn't memorable. That being said, I do have to give credit were credit is due:
The acting was very good and felt very natural. After watching the other two, I was very pleased to see a couple that actually looked like they love each other. I'm always on defense of having straight men playing gay roles because there is an invisible wall in between them that makes their acting a little awkward whenever they have a romantic scene, but this wasn't the case this time. Their interaction was pleasing to the eye and drew me closer to the story.
The writing was pretty decent. A drama would usually have episodes that are around forty minutes long minimum; however, this one ran for around thirty minutes and it is a shame. Even though the story was understandable and had a good pacing, it did feel like some things were being left out in some parts due to the lack of time. A good example will be the reconciliation; I was expecting to see how they would forgive and move on, but we completely skipped that moment and were sent to the next day with the couple going full gay force again. Honestly, how dare you, Karen? Make the episodes a little longer! Don't be scared of making it run for a few more minutes.
Overall, this was an enjoyable little series and it is the ONLY one I would like to rewatch in the future.
I'm definitely supporting these actors on their future works!
