Don't Be Too Emotional Episode 1
1 people found this review helpful
My first impression: Wow! My second impression: Wow again! Now seriously, I'm hooked. The filming quality, the lighting, the camera shots, the palpable unspoken chemistry, the music, and the ambient sound tailored to each scene are so spot on. I don't know if the series will be good moving forward, but I bought my ticket to this ride, and the expectation is high.

Although the episodes are short and they are interacting with many characters, it seems to come together. This episode is fun; there's even some action thrown into the mix. The animosity and misunderstanding are understandable without being annoying.Oh, there's a Peggy Talks Love Psychology segment in the credits that is also funny.

I was expecting a conflict-filled episode and toxic backlash on this episode; instead, I found myself assaulted with an unexpected level of cuteness between the main leads.

I'm not fond of time jumps; they are good when used properly, but they are misused often. The writers* did a good job of avoiding the usual pitfalls of moving the story forward, skipping years, without creating that sense of dissonance often found when not done properly. At this point in the story, I would say that both Janes are red flags. One has trust issues because he stopped trusting himself, while the other one has good intentions but bad communication skills (in matters of the heart) and only knows how to manipulate and build high walls. But it's ok; this is what makes this story engaging. So far, neither of them is evil, just flawed like most people. I said writers, as I have not read the source material

This episode started very charmingly and fun; as I was enjoying the antics with Thi being overdramatic and Zo being such an airhead, they decided to introduce an unnecessary girlfriend plot that I fear would extend through the series. Luckily, this plot was quickly resolved, and the story was able to move forward faster than I was expecting. We are back to charming and fun.

This episode should be renamed Khun Po, the perfect third wheeler. This support character needs some TLC; I hope someone gives in some attention later on in the series. Meanwhile, it is fun seeing him struggle with both his friend being on the verge of dating seriously.

The series is entertaining; it's funny how he keeps getting into trouble without doing anything. But that's the price of having a bad reputation. I haven't seen the original Love Destiny to be influenced by it; so far, the plot is predictable but not boring. The present-day scene was fun to watch with those nurses shipping the doctors at the end of the episode.

So far, this has been fun. I found myself laughing at the antics, the bickering, and the over-the-top comedic character sound effects. The chemistry is there and is a fun trip.

I'm expecting to get disappointed; I'm waiting for this to become shallow, but the underlying current is pulling me deeper and deeper into the story. The roller coaster cart has left the station, and it's slowly speeding up. My expectations are conflicting. Sometimes I find myself giggling and smirking at some scenes, and in other moments I'm hit with dread.I'm loving the plot, characters, chemistry, and the OST.

No complaints about the ending; they did a nice job wrapping up the plot, considering the weird twists in episodes 10 and 11.I really enjoy this series; it was fun, it was sad, it made me angry, and it has some "huh?" moments that give you pause. The chemistry is on point, and the grandmother character is VIP in my eyes. It is not flawless; I would have loved a bit more character development for the support cast.The world-building was good; the acting was engaging as you could relate with the main cast's struggles. The OST was superb, especially the Tatto Colour song "Just Still... (have you)".

Unnecessary plot twist, too many things going on without depth. Rose's character becomes two-dimensional.Not a bad concept; it just felt rushed. The best part is the Gramma and Joke talk.

Haven't had this good of a laugh in a while; if you understand gaming tropes, this will be an enjoyable introductory episode.

This episode could have been developed more; that being said, I loved the chemistry, humor, and romcom antics.
