Some Potential at the Start, Finished a Hot Mess

The series started with some potential but it’s not particularly ground breaking or interesting from a story perspective. The story follows the typical RomCom, almost formulaic, story line of two roommates who start off as strangers and end up falling for each other. The first three episodes were building up the relationship of the two main characters well enough but the whole series was let down by a hot mess that was Episode 4, which is supposedly the last episode of the series. Episode 4 started off promising and ended in a place that was not only an unsatisfying end to a series but also in a scene that should no longer be a narrative in any series or movie - unless it’s a key plot element to the story. Which in this case was wholly unnecessary. Of course the Special Episode fixed this and made it more acceptable. Why they chose to classify Episode 4 as the final episode and then add a Special Episode makes no sense. The Special Episode does a decent job ending the series which makes that a must watch.

The acting and chemistry between the two main actors was ok enough for this series. Not their fault that the series they signed up for fell apart. The secondary female actors seemed forced and over done. They didn’t effectively play either the comic relief in the series nor the match making Cupid role; they were pretty much a forced after thought.

Frankly, there are far better series past, present, and future to spend your time watching - even if you watch the Special Episode. The convoluted and disappointing end makes this series not a worth your time watch. Ok, the Speical Episode does a decent job tying the series of. However, I still maintain that even during this pandemic that there significantly better new shows out there.
