Giving them only 8 eps really was a disservice to their love story. Yes it's a slow burn... The slowest actually but compared to the other stories that are also slow burns it's like they just wanted to wrap up the Fourever You series as quickly as possible and gave the cast and story crumbs. They could've combined the first couple of eps together to make it so the time skip happened a lot sooner. Six eps of one sided love/yearning, one ep with a confession and dating, then one of them being together makes everything too rushed. It also doesn't give any time for viewers to see Nao actually fall for Tiger, it makes it seem like he's forcing himself to like him so he doesn't lose him. Which as a novel reader is not the case. There was so much inter dialogue that Dao had, conversations with Dan, and North and the other boys about how he felt about Tiger from high school all the way up until he tells him the feelings are mutual. WAYY more moments of Tiger and Dao together. From what I can tell the show ends way before the novel does and that not even counting the special chapters.

If you felt like this wasn't enough I BEG you to read the novel. It's one of the best (THAT'S MY OPINION) of the five in total. Obviously a show can't show everything but wow do viewers miss out on so much. Them growing up together, Sing and Ben's story, more of the dynamic of their friend group, them actually falling in love, the nc's 😜. I won't spoil anything that happens after the show ends but it's a good read.

I think Pie, Golf and everyone did the best with what they were given and look forward to seeing them again (I'm looking at you Star Scope).
