Synchonicity
This review may contain spoilers
Well, this was a wild ride!
PROS:
1) MIKO'S EXCELLENT ACTING. Inaki a close second.
2) BEST SEX/KISS SCENES EVER SEEN IN A BL. Enough said.
3) ACTUAL GAY CHARACTERS. At first, I thought Sky and Ace were going the way of "I'm straight, I'm just gay for you." But no... a pleasant surprise! And kudos for introducing a lesbian couple, with Ace's mom and Amanda. Happy that the series served as an advocate for the LGBTQ community.
4) TRANS CHARACTERS GIVEN MORE THAN CAMEOS. It was nice to see the trans characters given actual storylines, rather than the usual few lines that add up to nothing but buffoonery.
5) MUSIC. The music was great... especially hearing a full orchestral soundtrack!
CONS:
1) THE STORY. There were just too many "WTF?" moments. For what? The good moments in My Day made up for a lot of the bad... but this series went from lighthearted to ridiculously silly to telenovela melodrama to serious to musical revue to portraying important messages to suspense mystery... it didn't know what it was. Whatever it was, it was way too much variety for one series.
MOIRA. Moira was such a nasty bitch to Sky and his parents, it makes us wonder how he could have put up with her for even one second. And then her revenge... stealing the dog? Her putting peanuts into Sky's pasta was practically attempted murder... what did she expect to get out of it? Moira should have faced time in jail or, at the very least, she should have been kicked to the curb by everyone. Pisses me off that she got a free pass at the end.
2) THE ACE TIMELINE. So Ace was an ass to everyone, including Sky. Suddenly, and without warning, Ace turns in to the kindest, sweetest, most loving guy in the world. There was no in between.
3) THE DOGS. Okay, I get it... Ace was lonely and lacking love from his parents, so Chukchuk was his special friend. So why did they need to show eight dogs, especially when Chukchuk appeared to be the only one Ace cared about?
My Day was pretty much a trainwreck, but one that was hard to stop watching... kind of like watching a Jerry Springer show and, once you've started, you somehow have to watch to the end. It was fun.
