The premise of a spoiled and immature man being increasingly drawn to his precocious, hardworking co-worker is a pretty sweet sell. But Love Area squanders this opportunity with a storyline that is mostly uninteresting (let alone surprising) and the less-than-ideal chemistry between its actors.

It is a shame that Valen had very few memorable moments showing why audiences should be invested in him at all. I’m not asking for the male leads to be straitlaced saints, but there was literally nothing relatable about his flaws.

The second couple, King and Peat, have a fiery romance going on, but introducing a potential antagonist, in the form of a 14-year-old (I kid you not, the actor is 14) just makes things extremely messy and bizarre.

Please give this one a miss unless you really have some time to kill. But will I still give Season 2 a chance? Yes, because I’ve already invested my time in Part 1 and now need to know if Valen will finally become likeable.
