CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE!!!! CREEPY ENDING!!!
GURL.. I- *takes a deep breathe* WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?!?!?!?! Thailand... We are gonna have to have a conversation because this series WAS NOT IT. At first I was like "let me give this a go" and it did grow on me a little bit and I tolerated the bad script, hot mess scenes (there were a lot of them!!) so I could finish til the end. After like episode seven, it really started going down hill. The only thing that really kept me watching was because of Cooper and Marc. Cooper wasn't bad in My Engineer (at least I think so) but after that, he just kept getting crappy roles (My Bromance was just...) Marc is a good actor to me as well. The difference between his character in Chain of Hearts vs this one, I can tell that he has potential! Please Thailand, our baby Cooper needs a break! He needs a good series.. Anyways back to the review. Even though a lot of scenes were super cringe, I watched all the way through anyways. Filled with every cringe worthy BL trope you can think of. A lot of the scenes did not make sense. The acting was very off and there wasn't much chemistry between the characters. There were a lot of cute, fluffy moments and that saved the series a little bit. The friendships were very wholesome! I loved the connection between the characters. They were there for each other and supported one another. I also liked the fact that Kiew's friends in the future really resembled their past selves, so I was really happy with that. This series had the potential to be great, especially with the concept and what it was about. I love shows about time travel (I guess that's just the geek in me), so it had the means of being great, it just wasn't executed very well.
The ending... THAT. BOTHERED. ME. SO. MUCH!!!!!!!!! I literally closed my eyes and paused the show idk how many times during that whole scene... I was like "NO NO NO NO NO NO" the whole time. It was very unsettling to watch. That ending could have went a whole different direction. To be compeltely honest, it would have been better if both Kiew and Bamee forgot each other. I mean yes, that's kind of sad but at the same time I would have stomached that a lot better than 40 something Kiew still in love with 20 something Bamee.. Yes, age aint nothing but a number but sheesh man.. this was just cringe. Also I wish they didn't have the actor playing 40 year old Kiew staring at Bamee like a creep.. I mean he was staring at him more like a predator than someone who's "in love".
I am glad that Bamee's dad was alive. That's about the only happy thing about that ending. Really should have just had Kiew and Bamee forget each other. Kiew should have been able to keep his memories either. I mean what is that?? He keeps his memories but everyone else doesn't? Dont get me wrong, I do understand why they had to forget, but still SIGH..
Anways this was just not all that great. I wish Cooper the best. He really needs a boom a** series to break this trend he's got going on.
