Save yourself from this hot mess if you haven't watched this series as yet.

I went into this series basically because of the plot- it seemed interesting and promising. However, week after week, I asked myself- why are you still watching this? But I continued and watched this series for twelve weeks straight, just hoping against hope that it got better (news flash- it doesn't).

Story-4/10
As I stated, the synopsis sounded interesting and promising. However, I felt like it was not executed properly. And then with the gazillion and one doctor BL's coming out after it as well as with it, it wasn't able to compete with them (they also have thier flaws- but hey- I was able to follow thier storylines better and not be confused from the get-go.

I'm not going to lie- I did not know who the heck all these secondary characters were, unless they were related to the MC's. Up to now- I don't know the names of Milk and Pun's colleagues and what was the point of them. I was only able to follow the storyline of Milk and Pun, but by episode eleven even them got me hella confused.

I also felt that this series liked to confuse people as it really didn't tell us who posted the pics of the next doctor whose name is eluding me online and basically outed him to the whole world. No explanation was given when they did the time jump in episode eleven and a child had magically appeared, calling Pun dad. That is until ou watched episode twelve and realized who the mom was. Qhich brings me to my next question. What kind of sister Milk has that gave both Milk and Pun to raise her son to then come and say - Yup! I'm ready to raise him- after the fact the boy calls Pun dad. Like, WTF?!! Also, what was the point of introducing the new doctor (Jamie, I think) in the last episode. Is this a hint of a second season, cause...I don't want it.

I was originally gonna give the storyline a 5, cause as I have stated, I was following the MC's story. However, that changed in the last two episodes and as such, I am generously giving them a 4.

Acting/Cast-4.5/10
The show is a hot mess and thier acting cannot save it for the world. But I'm again being generous and will give a 4.5.

Music-5/10
When you have to go back to one of the episodes to remember the song, you know the song did not really impact on you. But after hearng it, Im going to give it a 5.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
No. Nothing can convince me in watching this series again. I'm already confused and I don't want to give up my valuable time again and rewatch this series.

Overall-3.5/10
Overall I give this series a 3.5. I am pleading with people out there- if you haven't watch this series, save yourself and run away as fast as you can from this series. I do not want you to suffer the same way I did. I'm really saving you guys.

Meet. Sleep with each other. Argue. 'Break Up '. Apologise. Repeat

Augh! I was just hoping for something totally different and entertaining. But this was what I was left with. A repetitive annoying cycle that just goes on and on...and on. I honestly don't know what to say. I'm just loss for words.

Story- 1/10
Now, here's the thing- this series starts off interesting to me. Two guys met. F#$k. And move on- or at least that's what Sher wanted. However they met a second time. And sleep with each other again, eventhough in Sher's book he only does one- night stands. They then become friends with benefits.

And it's here where the repetitive storyline starts and goes on for the remainig ten episodes. It gets annoying and tiring. Also, Sher is lucky that Fah is putting up with so much of his crap. Because, let's be real- he does not deserve him.

Also, why is everybody so invested in the relationship of Fah and Sher? Don't they have thier own lives to focus on?! Thier own boyfriends to love?!! And is sleeping with Fah so good? I count three guys besides Sher who wanted to be with him, ALTHOUGH they knew he was pursuing Sher or with him.

And the secondary couples left me sooo dissapointed. It took so long for Ping and Tap to get together and Prince and Gear's was not focused on at all. This series really had no positive aspects for me whatsoever and that's why I am giving the storyline a 1.

Acting/Cast-1/10
I know that I should go easy on them, because this was basically thier first roles. But, I can't. No one impressed me nor wowed me. I'm still impressed that I stayed with this series for three months.

Music-1/10
The music was not that impressive to keep my attention. I am here drawing a blank, because I really do not know the OST.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
No. I put myself through this torture, thinking that it was going to be an interesting series and was just left dissapointed. And the first episode, while not that good, actually was interesting and I wanted to see what happened in the next episode. But after that...just dissapointment upon dissapointment.

Overall-1/10
Overall, I give this series a 1. It just was not worth it. They tried something different but totally failed.

P.S- Sher's this big singer and throughout the whole series, the viewing audience had not heard him sing a note. Not one peep.

Yeah...I shouldn't have watched this season

The first season I gave a 6.5. Now, I don't know why I decided to watch the second season. Maybe I thought that it qould have been better than the first. But it wasn't.

Story-5/10
This story confused the bejesus out of me. To begin with in the first episode, you give a very long recap from the first season. AND you changed Valen and Kaitoon's story progress from last season in the very first episode.

Now Valen and Kaitoon relationship did progressed but then there was an unnecessary issue which annoyed me. And believe it or not, I was actually glad with the final minutes of the final episode...until the last few seconds. That pissed me off A LOT.

And then we got these side characters that were ot really contributing to this series with thier unnecessary drama. I honestly think they were added to give this series the eight episodes that it received. I mean, they really didn't resolve some of the secondary characters issues. Like, the majority of them had crappy endings

I also felt that at some parts it wasn't flowing well, making the series to be a bit choppy and just jumping randomly all over the place.

Oh, yeah! And the continuous changing of hair length on the actor who plays Valen- that annoyed me as well.

Acting/Cast-4/10
With the wack storyline, the actors could not save this series. I'm sorry...they just couldn't.

Music- 7/10
The music ia only the good thing in this whole seires.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
A big fat NO. I will not be watching this series again.

Overall-4.5/10
I give this series a 4.5. I hope that this is it for this series because people in the comments section are talking about a season 3. I personally think that it's not needed.

I'm crying...in joy that it's finally over

I thought that I would have never reached here! Yet, here we are! The end of this series! I'm so full of joy and happiness that it's all finally over! I started this series as I learnt about Itt and Day as secondary couples from ' Unforgotten Night ', which I wound up rating a 3.5. They seemed interesting, so I decided to give this a chance. And...I was sooo dissapointed.

Story-1/10
And no, this is not due solely for the toxic level in this series. The storyline is all over the place, with weak ass antagonists that is all cleared up during the series run and wrapped up neatly in the end.

And how the relationship (with not just toxicity but also abuse and/ or sexual assualut) starts for the MC as well as 2 secondary couples just is not right for me. And why is there so much guys who want Itt?! And Day needs to take a chill pill. Because after all the crap that he put Itt through, Itt will still (unfortunately) choose him over all of his other suitors. That's why I am giving them a one. I mean, the only good thing from this whole series was the last episode, where Itt and Day got married. That's basically it.

Acting/Cast-1/10
It is sad to here that the acting Frank was doing (which I found atrocious), was exactly how the character (Itt) acts in the book. This just makes me don't want to read the book.

I have previously stated that I know Frank and Rossi (who plays Night), can act as I have watched some of thier previous qorks and they clearly did a better job there than in this hot mess of a series. I don't know how I managed to sit down for twelve weeks and watched this series religiously with this type of bad acting.

And okay, maybe it was how the actors were directed and also how they presented the finished episodes to us. But, it just still sucks. And for that I'm giving them a one.

Music-1/10
The music in the beginning was just not it for me. I'm sorry. If I could have given a score lower that one, I would.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
There is no way that I will sit down and rewatch this again. I mean, there is literally an uncut version that is currently airing and I don't even think I have the time and enery to watch that version (although a lot of people are saying that it is better than this version). So, because I can't give t a zero or 0.5, I'm giving it a 1 for the rewatch, eventhough it is a strong hell no.

Overall-1/10
Overall, I give this series a 1. This was clearly ot made for me. And, hey- that's okay.

It was not what I had expected. But yet I was pleasantly surprised

I watched all nine episodes in one straight go. And I must say that it was not what I thought it was going to be. However! I was pleasantly surprised none the less.

Story- 9/10
I honestly thought that this qould have been the typical rom-com K drama. But it wasn't at all. It touched on school violence and handled it very well, I might add. I had questions that they were able to fill. I felt that they did thier best to tell this story in nine episodes that were all under twenty minutes.

Acting/ Cast-10/10
Everyone's acting amazed me. And I am so proud of Youngjae, I believe that he did an excellent job and I look forward to see more works from him.

Music-10/10
It's an OST from Youngjae- of course it's gonna be a banger!

Rewatch Valu-8/10
As I have said, this was not what I originally thought that I would be watching. But I still enjoyed it and I do see myself watching it again.

Overall- 9.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 9.5. And yes, you can watch it in one go- like how I did!

This did not met my expectations

I watched the last episode on Saturday and now finally got a chance to write a review on Monday about this series.

The first time I watched the official pilot, I was actually interested in seeing this series. And then the trailer came out, I was super excited to see the story of Jeng and Pat. And then I sat down and watched this series and was...dissapointed. It did not live up to the official pilot as well as the trailer for me.

Story-4/10
In all honesty, I ONLY liked four out of the twelve episodes (episodes one to three and then ten). The others, I honestly didn't and couldn't care for then as they were focusing on characters that I don't care about or want to know about.

I was here for Pat and Jeng (and sometimes Chot). I don't care about thier friends, Pat's ex-boyfriend, Jeng's brother, Jaab and Jane, Jeng's father- nothing! And because the series focused on all of this, I felt the time it took for Pat and Jeng was too long and then they happened to quickly and broke up. Also, it had like two time jumps in the space of two episodes?! ( three months I think and then two years). All of this annoyed me and for that reason I am giving the story a 4, which is being very generous because I really should give them a 3.

Acting/Cast- 6/10
You know what? I only liked the actors who played Jeng and Chot. The others, because I really didn't care for thier storyline, thier acting didn't really impact on me. So, just because of these two and the scenes that they stole throughout the series, I am being generous again and giving them a 6.

Music-6/10
I honestly couldn't recall it. I had to go back to the beginning of an episode and play it over. Because of this, I will give them a 6.

Rewatch Valu-2/10
Okay- I honestly do not think that I will rewatch this at all. Because it has left me soooo dissapointed. And I know people would say that maube I am not accustomed to a slow burn series. But this was really too slow for me that I did loose my attention a lot and I only really was watching to see Pat and Jeng end up together. Which they did. For like two episodes and then broke up for two years! As such, I am givnig the rewatch valu a solid 2.

Overall-4.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 4.5. And that's just sad, because I was super hyped when I saw both the official pilot and trailer. I also thought that this series would have scored much higher (like between 8 to 9) after watching the first three episodes. But, it didn't and every week I slowly lost interest in this series until episode 10. But by then it was too late to save this series for me.

Why couldn't I love you like the majority of the viewers!!!

I went into this series, trying my utmost best to love it as it was being hyped so much here as well as on Twitter. But for some reason- I just couldn't. I tried. I really did try with this series as I keep seeing episode [insert episode number here] is the best episode every week. And I just wasn't feeling it so I had to put this series on hold after watching up to episode four. I then came back and tried to binge watch episodes five to twelve. But even that took longer than I thought it would. But I have finally finished it!

Story-8/10
I am giving this series an 8 due to the fact that it is not your typical BL. It shows the toxic side of the industry theought the fans as well as the company. The reason why I cannot give higher than an 8 is due to the fact that I felt I wasn't emotionally attached to the series.

I was watching the series and just...nothing. The only time I felt a form of emotion was in the last episode at 50 minutes (I think) when Nubsib and Gene got back together. Otherwise than that, I felt norhing. Also, I felt that the supporting characters were not developed properly, especially Aoey. I also felt more sad for Aoey than any of the other characters in this series, cause of what he went through. Yeah, he's a d#$k, but like the ending that he got, I felt that he didn't deserve it.

Also, I felt that the episodes seemed a bit too long and draggy. Like some parts were good. But some parts I really don't see the need for it.

Acting/Cast-7.5/10
I was originally going to give an 8. However, the last two episodes just made me like meh, so I am giving a 7.5.

Music-7.5/10
The damn OST is loie a bloody worm song. It's annoying as well as catchy. The other songs were okay too. So for that I will give a 7.5.

Rewatch Valu-4.5/10
I'm sorry. I felt that I took too long to finish this series and because of that I don't think that I need to watch it again.

Overall-7/10
As I stated before, I really did try with this series. I guess it wasn't for me in the end.

I don't know how to feel about this one

This series was...interesting to say the least. The way that it went in the final four episodes, I didn't expect it. But the company, I believe, did their best in the situation. Cause it can be clearly seen how different the first eight episodes are to the remaining four. We, the viewers, don't know the official reasons for this change. But we have a guess to why, which is actually plausible. Due to this, it shaped the series to the way that it is.

Story-6/10
Let me be honest. I had to put this series on hold after just watching two episodes due to the fact that it was not holding my attention to the other series that I was watching at that time. I came back and binge watch from three to eight- which, I actually liked. When we were introduced to the new Nite...I was flabbergasted. This was not how I thought that this series would go. I actually thought that Latte would have ended up with Nite1 and not with someone else. Was I in shock? Yes. Was I upset? A bit. Some people like Nite2...I'm still a little on the fence with him.

Acting-5/10
Some of the acting was good/okay. While some just had me..meh. So, for that I will give five out of ten.

Music-7/10
The song is like a frickin worm. It will play the first time and somehow get stuck in your brain and then annoy the heck out of you. Even now! That song is still stuck in my head!

Re watch Valu-3/10
I actually do not, unfortunately, see myself watching this series again. Like anytime soon. It was nice to watch to fill the lack of shows to watch on Tuesdays but there is no way that I will put myself through watching this series again from start to finish.

Overall- 5.5/10
Overall, it was an okaish series. If you have nothing to watch and want something to fill your time and can handle a draggy-ish series, I say give this a go. But to actually recommend this to someone to watch- I can't do that.

A great synopsis but a lackluster end product

Well! That's it! Golden Blood is done! And it has left me a bit...dissapointed. And that's unfortunate. Cause the synopsis sounded actually good and it drew me in and made me excited to watch this series. But at the end, I just felt it didn't reach the potential that I thouggt it would reach.

Story- 7.5/10
As I stated before, the synopsis that was presented peaked my interest in this series. And it kept it...in the beginning. But it wasn't the main couple, unfortunately. It was the second couple and thier very few and short scenes. And, yeah, it had flaws (like did those girls really think that they had a chance with Sky and Sun? Like, really?!! And my reaction was also like Sky when he asked Bank along the lines since when he was dating Pitch, cause while they were cute together, I felt it wasn't developed properly). But I still enjoyed it through the acting of the characters Pitch, Bank (sometimes)and Sun's acting.

Also, eventhough I don't think or know if anyone has talked about it, I sometimes felt that (some of) the fight scenes were cringy. And this sucks as this plays a role in the storyline. And when you read the synopsis, you would think that a majority of the episodes would be focusing on how the main couple would have to face Sky's dad. But no. This was just basically two out of the eight episodes.

Acting/Cast-7/10
Okay! So hear me out! I liked the actors who played Bank and Pitch in thier scenes together. I liked the actors who played Sun and Sky in thier scenes together as well. Heck! I liked Boat's character on a whole!

But when Gun was acting when something happened to Boat's character from episode seven...I cringed! Everytime I saw his acting, I told myself 'Why is his acting so?' And then besides that, you have these two girl characters who were so dense that they didn't know that Sun and Sky were together?! And thier reaction when they found out?! That's why I have to give a 7.

Music-8/10
I actually lind of liked the music. So I am going with an 8.

Rewatch Valu-3/10
No. I do not see myself coming anytime soon and watching this. Once is actually enough for me. And again, that's unfortunate cause the actors who played Bank, Pitch and Boat were reasonably good in this series. However, I don't see me torturing myself in watching this series anytime soon (unless it's just Bank and Pitch's part and even that wasn't properly done in my opinion).

Overall-6.5/10
Overall I give it a 6.5. And that's unfortunate. I felt that this series had so much great potential but wasn't able to deliver it in the end.

I had high hopes for this series only to be let down with disappointment

Okay, this is not going to be a long review. Just quick and to the point.

Story-6/10
I binge watched the first four episodes and...I liked them. The remaining four, I watched while they were airing and maybe that's the reason why I didn't enjoy it, I guess? (Besides the storyline loosing my interest as it progressed).

There were some scenes that I was not comfortable with. Like everyone just forcefully kissing Daonuea. That just wasn't cool at all. I would also like to add although I didn't like the character of Typhoon in the beginning, I felt that he shouls have gotten a happy ending as well.

I also felt that none of the characters were developed well, which really didn't add anything to the story.

Acting/Cast- 5/10
Unfortunately, no one really wowed me. It was just okay-ish. And i guess since I actually like the four episodes in the beginning due to me binge watching them, I will give thier acting a 5.

Music-8/10
The music is the only good and decent thing about this series. So for that, I will give a 8.

Rewatch Valu-3.5/10
I honestly do not see myself coming back to this series. Heck, I gotta come back to watch what ia foing to happen Daonuea's brother- Khaufah. I may wait for that series to complete or nearly complete before I decide to give that a go.

Overall-5.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 5.5/10. And I am so disappointed because it really did start off good and I was so invested in it. I just don't know what happened as it progressed.

Gonna be honest with you- this was just an okay series

I have completed this Korean BL series. And what can I say? I felt that it was just an okay series that I believe had so much potential, but, unfortunately, did not live up to it.

Story-7/10
I honestly felt that the series started off good. But something happened along the way. I mean, I was totally invested in the relationship of Seo Hae Won and Baek Eun Gyu. And then just so, we are told that Cha Ji Soo also like him. But, like you just know there is no way that this is a so called love triangle. Cause any body, even a blind person, can see that Seo Hae Won likes Baek Eun Gyu. What was the point of this aspect of the storyline? Doesn't make sense to me. And then i just got confused at the end because Baek Eun Gyu has left Seo Hae Won for a year to go and find/visit (I don't even know which one it is, cause I just glazed over) his father who is in Florida. So...yeah. And because of these random storylines trying to be told on an eleven minute eight episodes series, pacing here will clearly be an issue. But just because I like the beginning before all of this, I give this series a 7.

Acting/Cast-7/10
Kim Yoo Hwan acting stood out the most in this series out of all the actors. So, because of that, I will give it a 7.

Music-7.5/10
Honest to God, I forgot what the music sounded like. So, I had to go back and play it. And it actually sounds good. But because I forgot how it sounded, I'm going to give the music a 7.5.

Rewatch Valu-5/10
I actually do not see myself watching this series anytime soon again. I felt that for me this series really didn't make that much of an impact for me to say I won't watch it or to also say that I will watch it. It wasn't that memorable to me.

Overall-6.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 6.5. Personally, to me, it just wasn't that memorable to leave any sort of impression.

GMMTV dropped the ball on this one

My problem isn't like the majority of the reviews that I am seeing. Cause BL's will always have flaws. It's just how we interpret it and how t is portrayed to us. Some people hate this series and some love it. It's not for everyone. This, unfortunately, was not for me.

Story-5.5/10
The most annoying storylines that one can see in sooo much BL's were present here- the annoying ex- girlfriend, the father who didn't approve and many more. But that didn't annoy me as much as the damn pacing of this series! It started off with SOOOO much potential, stalled and then just went downhill with so much of stuff being stuffed in the last three episodes that if you blink, you may miss something from the story.

And that's what is making me pissed about this series. I mean, Na can't save this series as well as Chonlatee's mom (who was badass and I adore her!) due to how bad the pacing was- especially for a GMMTV series. I mean, I literally began to lose interest in this series thatcthe final two episodes I watched them the day after they aired.

Acting- 6/10
I honestly feel that the MC's and the majority of the actors couldn't save this series with thier acting cause the script was clearly atrocious as can see with the bad pacing of this series. And that's unfortunate. Cause I now the potential these actors have as I have seen some of thier works and it was way better compared to this.

Music- 7/10
I will give credit where credit is due. The music was the most decent thing about this whole series.

Rewatch Valu- 2/10
Yeah...no, I can't. They shoved too much in those three remaining episodes and just end it like...meh to me. I can't rewatch this series again.

Overall-5/10
I really tried to keep the excitement and love for this show that I had in the beginning, but unfortunately it dwindled away as the story progressed. Na and Chonlatee's mom couldn't even save this series for me.

In the beginning, I was confused. At the end, I was confused, annoyed and disappointed

This has got to be the first series that after watching the first episode, I had no idea what the heck was happening and what was going to happen during the course of ten episodes. This series really had me scratching my head. And I know a lot of people would ask 'Then why did you continue it?' Two simple reasons: 1. I never drop a series and 2. I wanted to know what happened till the end. And what happened has just left me confused, annoyed and disappointed.

Story-4.5/10
In all honesty, I had NO clue whatsoever about whatever was going on in this series. I can safely say that I was confused for the first seven episodes (yes, you heard me!). Heck! I didn't even know the woman who went to jail was Inpha (the Chief)'s sister until I saw it in the comments section! I only finally started to get the grasp by episode 8. And by then it was a little too late.

That and the fact that I was getting annoyed with nearly every episode up until 7 or 8 where Ken was getting choked. Anyhow, they go through all that crap ONLY for them not to get back together. I mean, it was already hard for them to get back together due to the fact that Din and the doctor literally stole the face of a dead man and gave Din his name. So, why not kill the Chief on top of that as well? But I must say that the cinematography was indeed beautiful (so that will get a .5 from me). So, for all of this, I'm giving the story a 4.5.

Acting/ Cast-5/10
If I had any idea what this series was about before episode 8, I would have given their acting a higher score. But I have no idea and out of the kindness of my heart, I'm giving them a 5. However, I would like to add that hopefully in the future Boom Raweeqit Jiraphonggkanon will get a better main role. Because I knew him from the hot mess that was 'My Dream' and he was one of the few actors that I liked there.

Music-7/10
The music was the only good thing about this whole series. So, for that, I will give a 7.

Rewatch Valu-2/10
Yeah...I can't rewatch this. Because, as I have stated before, I was confused for the majority of the episodes. And I don't think rewatching this series will help me in any way at all.so, I'm going with a 2.

Overall-4.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 4.5. Maybe if it was executed better, it would have gotten a higher score from me.

I sat down on Sunday (10) and binged watched this series where I was able to complete it on Tuesday (12). And what can I say? I felt underwhelmed. I felt this the first time I saw the trailer and wasn't as excited as most of the people were. But I still decided to give it a try.

Story-6/10
I honestly liked the first half of this series. I sat down and watched eight episodes at once, cause those seve episodes piqued my interest and kept me entertained. After that, I honestly don't know. Maybe it's due to the fact that this series is character driven and not storyline driven. So, after Kinn and Porsche got together, basically the other half is them falling out with each other and coming back together. Which got a bit tedious for me.

The characters of Kim and Chay really did nothing for me as a couple. Whatever was going on with them- just did not interest me. For Vegas and Pete...while they both need to see a psychiatrist and I may not like some parts of thier relationship, they were one of the two reasons why I continued with this series. The other reason is the character of Tankhun. Loved him to death! As for the other characters, it was neither here or there for me, especially the dads.

There were some parts of the story that made me scratch my head, some parts that made me scream at them beacuse they were idiots and some parts that were just too predictable. As such, I am giving the story a 6.

Acting/Cast-9/10
Not gonna lie- the cast acting was amazing. They actually did well with this script. And for that reason, I'm giving them a 9 (mostly due to he characters of Tankhun, Vegas and Pete).

Music-9/10
The music was also one of the best features of this series as well. As such, I give a 9.

Rewatch Valu-5/10
Personally, I see myself watching this is a very far, far, far away future. Not right now, though. So, I will give that a 5.

Overall-7.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 7.5. I really wanted to loke it the way most people here did. But, unfortunately, it just did not happen for me.

Bravo for making a spinoff worse than its predecessor

Kudos goes to those who decided to make this spinoff. You guys have achieved something that I never had expected- you made this series worse than it's predecessor 'Tonhon Chonlatee ' - and that's saying something!

Story-1/10
I don't know how I did it, but I sat down for 3 months and watched this series. And...the only thing that I got from this series was that Ai liked Nhai. They dated and ended up together in the end. That's it. Thier story could have bewn told in four episodes instead of twelve. Up to now I am still wandering what was the purpose of twelve episodes. I mean, all the 'baddies' that didn't want them together quickly fizzled out and really added nothing to the story.

The girls who showed interest in both Ai and Nhai were pointless. Ai's mom and sister was pointless. EVERYTHING was pointless. Also, it made no sense if you watched the sequel 'Tonhon Chonlatee ', because thier small storyline here does not in any form or fashion follow or is close to the storyline in there.

All this series had were make out scenes and NC scenes of the MC. Two of Nhai's friends were given 'love interest ', besides Tonhon. I put these in brackets becuase one ended before it began and the next one was a blink before you miss it situation. And the ending really didn't do anything for the story, leaving me dissapointed but not surprised due to watching this series.

Acting/Cast-1.5/10
I do try my best to give new actors a chance in series. But as of late, I feel like I just can't. The roles that they are taking, they are not able to portray these characters well. This is what I personally believe as some of the actors here this is thier very first role. And as such, I was initially going to give them 1. However, just beacuse poor Porsch and Arm starred in this monstrosity, I am giving them an extra .5. So my rating is 1.5.

Music-3/10
Some of the music was a bit passable, but not really that memorable. So, I will be giving a 3.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
No. Just no. Absolutely not. This series at time just became background noise, as I did not pay any slight attention to it. And since the lowest I can give is a 1, then I am giving it a 1.

Overall-1.5/10
Overall, I give this series a 1.5 out of 10. And I must say that my lesson has officially been learned. I told myself not to expect much as this director was the same one who did 'Hotel Stars', 'Gen Y ' seasons 1 and 2 and 'LA Cuisine '. All of which I may have issues with (I only gave 'Hotel Stars' a7.5 due to an actor who carried out his character well and I gave 'Gen Y ' a 7 due to my then desire for a season 2- which totally dissapointed me).
