Product Placements the series
I finally got around to finishing this series. I was so hyped after watching episode 0 but it kinda died down fast when the first episode started..
What was lacking;
The story was just all over the place, dialog stiff and unemotional, music missplaced, editting confusing. Overall it was a hot mess.
It felt more like a 12 episode long product placement, I wouldn't be surprised if the basis actually was "we have these products to showcase, lets throw some BL around it for more views!"
Daonuea's overdramatic reactions to everything didn't help, and whenever he accused Nine of overreacting I cackled like crazy!
What was good;
The actors, they did what they could with whatever they were given.
Boat and Candy are just the cutest duo, they could carry the comedy aspect of this show on their shoulders alone and make it work flawlessly.
Tee, I was not a fan of his character at the start but compared to all the others he is the only one that feels like a real person. His motives (mostly selfish) are believable and I'm just sad that Nine and Daonuea didn't get the same kind of growth.
The special episode with Tee and Ice gave me the kind of passionate chemistry I would have liked for the whole actual series! I would have loved to see that kind of energy between Nine and Daonuea!!
You would do fine just watching ep 0 and 12, maybe add ep 11 if you want some last act drama to fill it all out.
The rest of the episodes can be skipped, they add nothing to the overall story or character development.
