wtf?

Liked: unique concept, acting

Disliked: writing, wtf ending?

Throughout this show, I just was so frustrated. The original plot line of the show is unique and I imagine that's why other viewers started the show as well. I think they just wasn't sure of the genre of this show and tried doing too many things at once. I felt compelled to finish the series after the first half -- they developed the intrigue of the family mystery and main leads' relationship quite nicely, but I think that fell off in the second half. The second lead's story investigating the missing orphans was interesting, and I wish they had done more to develop their relationship.

They were halfway there with the writing. Such a shame of an interesting plot at the beginning.

Beware of episode 11 and 12! The show just shoved unnecessary plot lines that don't make sense by the end.

my new favorite relationship!


ahh! I love this series so much. They did a very good job building up the leads' relationship as well as the overall friendship aspect too. I love that even though this is set in high school and a coming of age story, the leads were very mature and there were no stupid misunderstandings. I think the magic here really is their friendship. You get to see more of how much they rely on one another and how they are best friends first before becoming a couple. The bubbly girl - stoic guy trope is done very well and I did not find any of them annoying at all.

Plus you get comedy and humor with the friendship group and the second leads too! Everyone is just very likeable and looks after one another. Really the epitome of youth, in a very healthy way.

I wish they would've showed more of the leads' relationship in college and beyond as well as the second leads too. And there are some annoying family drama, but well worth the watch regardless. But nonetheless, I'm very happy with what we got!
