Great actors, but terrible plot and boring storyline with annoying main characters

At first I was excited because I independently love jcw and kjw. The concept was unique with interview format and seemed like an interesting premise.

However, 4 episodes in and the main characters are built to be pretty annoying and pathetic, with no chemistry or progression of the plot. Almost every scene feels like a filler scene. With boring dialogue.

The interview format gets to be pretty useless. They don’t ask meaningful questions. And the characters are essential just talking to each other through the interview. But they go back and forth way too quick with the cuts. Literally jumping every 2 sec which makes the viewer dizzy.

It seems to be too focused on pretty scenery and eye candy. If you’re into that, go for it, but even that couldn’t save the show for me.

It had great potential, but the focus is off. And there’s just not much great acting either. It’s not even a realistic portrayal of city love since the main characters love story is way too fantasy like. Like a runaway teenage summer fling.
