Good Enough

" Was it love " had a strong start, an ambitious love square, but a messy progress.

The beginning was nice, melodramatic and the dynamics of the two main leads were entertaining, as well as the mystery of what happened in the past between them and who was the father of the child. The other possible lovers were smoothly introduced too and there were some comedy elements that spiced up the plot. The two kids were also fun to watch.

However, halfway through, and especially towards the ending, things went downhill. Nothing really happened, as all actions were going in circles, being repeated, in a boring, tiring result. The final twists were just a huge no. The big mafia-action sceme did not feat well with the rest of the mood. The ending was even worse, not quite open, but it felt old, like something that dramas from two decades ago will use, especially that "after-years-not-disappearing-I'm-back" kind of ending.

Now, for the characters, the male lead was annoying, the teacher boring, the actor irritating, the mafia boss okay and the female lead, even though she was played by one of the actresses that I don't really like, she was okay, but frustrating at times, especially when it came to her motives of acting the way she did towards the male lead.

So, overall, five out of ten.
