Nothing special

Another series completed. For me, it was pretty boring and forgettable. Here are my pros and cons:

PROS

ATTENTION TO BULLYING. This is a subject that really can't get too much publicity these days. It happens a lot and needs to stop.

CUTE ACTORS. Always a plus. I thought Chris was especially cute and Arthur was just off-the-charts hot!

REAL KISSING. Finally!

SIX EPISODES. Happy that this wasn't dragged out unnecessarily.

CONS

THE STORY. Sorry, but for me this was just typical high school melodrama over nothing. The only serious issues were the bullying, Tong Fah's hospitalization and his father's death. They could have made more of these, but chose to take us through a bunch of superficial "drama" between the couples.

TOO MUCH DULLNESS. Five second spaces between lines and unnecessary scenes that had no real purpose made this short series, at times, seem interminably long.

ARTHUR'S ENDING. Disappointing. He goes from being a vicious bully to a crying, apologetic mess, complaining that no one loves him, not even his family. Okay, fine... some backstory would have been welcome, especially in place of the aforementioned dullness. A missed opportunity.

JENO AND NEAR. I thought they were the same person until I looked them up. They are actual brothers, 2 years apart, but look like identical twins. And they weren't even playing brothers in the series. Totally confusing, and a bad casting decision.

All in all, this is series that I will likely forget about in the not-too-distant future.

5 out of 10 for me.
