It was good? but mostly just annoying.

Just gonna do pros and cons so that I don't ramble TOO much.

PROS:
+Yo Han
+Yo Han's mansion
+Yo Han's right hand man ("K")
+acting was top tier from the whole cast
+40% of Sun Ah's outfits
+Sun Ah shooting Heo Jung Se ( a.k.a K-Trump)
+the chemistry between Yo Han and Ga On
+the actress for Sun Ah played tf out her role
+the plot twist about the fire
+the shows general concept and the way they showed how interwoven the corruption was

CONS:
+ Ga On's naivety

+ Ga On being a self-righteous idiot until the very end

+ Soo Hyun being the WORST detective I've seen in a K-drama (not aware of her surroundings AT ALL, never calls for back up EVEN WHEN SHE BROUGHT A CHILD INTO A SITUATION WHERE A WHOLE GANG WAS BEATING PEOPLE UP......WITH PIPES, very biased towards one suspect even when given clues about others, indifferent to all the corrupt people in power because all her focus is on Yo Han)

+ SUN AH (every time I saw her face, it irked me; like, physical repulsion)

+ writers trying to give Sun Ah an incomplete redemption arc (it wasn't set up well)

+ people not having a brain of their own unless it's to blame Yo Han

+ GA OOOOOOON

+ the Ga On x Soo Hyun romance(very cliché and like ZERO chemistry)

+ again Soo Hyun being an idiot( how she gon' blame her tampering with a crime scene on Ga On? it was unnecessary for her to do it anyways??? they told you it was a suicide? you are also in control of your own actions?)

+how writers portray main female leads in a way that makes them extremely disliked by a lot of the audience; in this case, it would be Soo Hyun.

Waste of Time

It's just another drama about a toxic relationship with issues that could easily be worked out through communication and acknowledging insecurities, but that doesn't happen. My biggest peeve is that they(Pete/Kao) are supposed to be adults, but they are acting like children who don't know how to talk about their feelings. The main couple had me bout ready to chew bricks. Pete is selfish, insecure, and doesn't care how his actions affect Kao; Kao is a coward and a pushover, who acts willfully ignorant and doesn't have the balls to voice his concerns to his boyfriend. I ended up skipping through most of the interactions between the main couple and only watching for Sun and Mork because they actually had the maturity to talk out their issues and work on their behaviors.

Could've been executed A LOT better.

I was really excited for this series because of MaxTul and it having a different plot from most other Thai Bl dramas, but by the end I was dreading having to put in the energy to watch it.

PROS: Max(Tan), the cool IDEA for the general plot, scenery, and the story didn't make them being gay a central part of the plot.

SPOILERS BELOW???
CONS: Dr. Bun was extremely annoying. Poor execution of plot. Severe lack of communication. Main characters making glaringly dumb decisions just to further the plot. Dr. Bun and Tan being a doctor and a teacher, respectively, but not having the brains to realize an obvious clue that would have saved them a weeks worth of struggle and made the last episode or two unnecessary. Unnecessary flirting during high stress situations (i.e. trying to decide whether or not to reveal evidence, but also finding the time to make suggestive comments). The school not paying enough attention to what's going on with their students. And again, just a whole bunch of idiotic decisions or lack of decisions by multiple characters just to further the plot. And again, Dr. Bun and his attitude.

SPOILERS | Started off great and then fell ALL THE WAY OFF

The first couple of episodes were enjoyable and funny, but then they decided to go with ALL the problematic, played out tropes. I started skipping through episodes very early on.
SPOILERS BELOW



PROS: Miriam, Chon's mom, Pang, Ai, and Ni. Chon's mom calling Ton's dad a limpd**k.


Again SPOILERS


CONS: Ton a.k.a Mr. "no homo bro," Ton's lack of balls when dealing with his ex(who still falls for I Dare You 's as an adult? ), homophobic man is actually gay trope, disregarding bisexuality, homophobic old man realizes that homosexuals are people only after they help save him trope, Chon's mom telling off Ton's dad only for her to retract her statements just because he got a stroke FROM HIS OWN DRAMATICS, Ai and Ni not calling out Ton for his bull, Nueng still showing up on campus and not getting charges filed against him after he tried to sexually assault Chon(why tf was everybody walking around like that didn't happen?), Ton knowing that Amp is a threat to Chon's wellbeing but still being nonchalant about her WALKING INTO HIS HOUSE UNINVITED, the tattoo explaination scene, and FEMALE CHARACTERS ONLY BEING PRESENT TO FURTHER THE MAIN/SIDE GAY COUPLES RELATIONSHIPS/PLOTS. Again Ton being toxic masculinity personified.

Ridiculous.

PERFECTION, GOLD, A++

This drama was everything I could ask for in a series about finding love during quarantine. The plot twists were cute. The interactions between the main couple were even cuter. Fluffy, but not too much. Please watch this if you haven't. I really enjoyed it. A breath of fresh air.

PROS: Comedy(It's absolutely HILARIOUS). It didn't feel like there were any unnecessary scenes; the pacing was nice. The acting was really good. The soundtrack also worked pretty well, it didn't overpower any of the scenes. The security guard. Again the COMEDYYYYY. Healthy relationships.

CONS: None? (Libby was a little annoying at first)

Don't have HIGH expectations...

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was interesting enough to watch if you enjoyed Train to Busan. The movie didn't really leave me on the edge of my seat, it just made me shake my fist at the screen because of how many times I had to yell MOVE YOUR A**. What is with characters in zombie movies having the option of fight, flight, or freeze and choosing freeze? Make it make sense.

PROS: Fast and Furious Joon-i Drift (BEST part of the movie tbh, MVP), happy ending, cool zombies, and we got an idea of how the outbreak was affecting the rest of the world.

CONS: Characters' slow response times, lack of observing surroundings, and death by stupidity(read previous). There's a lot of staring at things that are about to happen(in like MAX 15 seconds) and characters taking like a whole MINUTE AND A HALF to take action. JANE.

I feel BAMBOOZLED | SPOILERS

The official trailer for the series would lead you to believe that the show would mostly revolve around Mark/Kit, BUT IT DOESN'T. It's pretty much Wayu and His Stupid Relationship Drama ft. Mark/Kit and friends (which is apparent by the ending of the last episode...trash). We started out focusing on Mark/Kit maybe for an episode or two but then Wayu gets "dumped" and all of a sudden MOST of the interactions between Mark/Kit (EVEN IN PRIVATE) revolve around them babying Wayu and keeping him from having a mental breakdown...ridiculous. The whole show ended up being about Wayu and his problems. Not to mention everyone acting like Wayu is on some higher level of desirability and that anyone interested in him would have to get to HIS level instead of the other way around. I want to punch a wall. Please explain to me why Wayu is supposed to be a good catch; he's not even a good friend. Wayu is a little emotionally manipulative gremlin who stays hung up on his ex. SPOILERS BELOW

PROS: Mark, Phai, and SANDEE (Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome with them cheeks; and he gets an A+ for stirrin' the pot *also, I did not pay any attention to the high school drama*).

CONS: WAYU. Kit rejecting Marks confession to go help Pha (TRASH. Why did they write that?). Wayu's constant need to be in a relationship. Wayu being a crappy friend. The praising of Wayu just because he is pale and skinny even though he brings nothing to the table. The whole Padbok and Thanu situation (campus security doesn't exist??? And his reason for being upset doesn't make sense). The communication majors "banning" the engineers over actions of one person that didn't have anything to do with school...annoying. The writers giving us whiplash over the Thanu/Phai/Wayu situation (A complete, unnecessary, hot mess. And FOR WHAT???). NOT ENOUGH MARK/KIT (They really played us. Should've just listed Mark and Kit as support roles if they were only gonna pay attention to Wayu's storyline).

REFRESHING!

I really enjoyed this drama! It was different, mature. It got a bit stressful at times, but it was more of an inhale/exhale kind of stress than an "I want to punch a wall" one. Now, I did have to skip through some of the episodes towards the end because characters were getting on my nerves a little TOO much(the people who called this drama boring LIED TO ME...).

PROS: PARK BO GUUUUUM(he is too fine), the acting was SUPERB, none of the stakes were too high, the grandpa(too adorable), REALISTIC PORTRAYAL OF RELATIONSHIPS and how different sides view different events/conflicts, the way they handled the conflict resolution was perfect, NO PETTY EXES, good communication, funny, happy ending, Jung Ha, and Ms. Lee(MVP).

CONS: The music was aight, it didn't really do much for me. The back and forth of the timeline for each episode was a BIT confusing at first, but I got used to it. I also would've had a couple of characters trip down the stairs...
