since this is 4 stand alone stories in 2parter I'll combine the review for each one here. long story short I loved 23 and 29's stories and I hated 35 and 42's stories
aw ok, so this is not a "sismance/female centered plot"
the 23
I loved this one, it's like the writing of a webdrama with a drama special's quality.
the relationships and the emotions were really realistic, and it really captured my attention though if I knew the whole thing was going to be resolved in 1:40 hours I'd have started it later cuz the pacing was really great and full of info
also this is a great example of "age appropriate" casting, I wish they'd stop forcing 20 year olds with 30 year olds and just give us more "college" dramas.
in some ways, the fl got scared with her "one" true love so she used the other guys to fill in the void, and in the process she belittled the guys to make herself feel like she's not wrong (otherwise she'd feel guilty and is forced to admit the truth)
and once it got out of hand (ie she was discovered) she again blamed the guys for "using" her becasue that'd make it easier for her to leave them too.
but I'm glad she didn't switch to her friend right away, both needed a little time and she needed to accept her feelings for him and take a risk ;)
the 29:
I also loved this one, in some ways it was about a really "quiet" go with the flow character that suddenly reached her breaking point and needed to escape from everything and with that she became her most honest self, she finally stopped trying to not cause problems in what looks perfect on the outside.
the relationship with her mother was the real problem, she was burdened with the fact that her mom was young and alone that she took the responsibility to "raise" her mother and that resulted in over attachment that when her mom wanted to live her life, the fl felt lost and scared.
the 42: *spoilers*
I reeeaallly didn't like it, it's like those movies where the kids accidentally hit someone and they think he's dead so they bury him but it turns out they killed him while trying to cover up?
so basically the fl thinks her husband is cheating so she starts doubting him and their "happy" marriage that she snaps and jumps to conclusions without asking her husband or listening to him. and the husband never really tried to convince her so in the end she goes to cheat back with the husband of the woman she thought her husband cheated with and worse they let her cheat when her dad died so it's just another reason to make the fl look like garbage...
and honestly that writer throwing in hints that her husband might be cheating. like why are people so sick to want to ruin a happy marriage ;/
the 35:
I couldn't get past the 1st part, it was boring and 1d without any real worth or plot ;/
