It's one big cliché

The longer I'm thinking about this series, the lower score I want to give it. Each part of it is just... not good? And somehow out of blue? Not really forced, but you'll literally find out what's gonna happen the second it starts (4 seconds it lasts) and for the most part, *le sighs* will be the most authentic response. Don't expect to be surprised. Actually, don't expect anything. It's better that way.

I'm going to skip all that information about couples, plotlines, symbols and whatnots. It wouldn't help you decide either way. Here, have some random tags instead : Enemies-to-lovers. Best friends-to-lovers. Inhaler. Plant abuse. Cooking. Hotel. Shipping. Fans. Kangaroo. OISHI (you wish). Shrimp paste. SOTUS. Zombies. Bears. Neighbours.

To say what I liked about this - product placements. They go ALL OUT! You wouldn't believe how many people use the same product seemingly independently of each other in this show.

To say what I didn't like about this - it was so wasteful as a story. It told nothing interesting, and whatever it told was shallow enough to be mixed with product placements at any given moment (so at least some plus to that "plot"). It watches okay-ish-ish-ish, but it won't bring you anything new. Nothing goes too deep, because any story arc has but a few minutes until another trope's lined up and fired.

Who would I recommend this for - You simp over one of the actors and have nothing better to spend your time on. You're just looking for something to vibe with while you're cooking dinner or doing chores. You're feeling catatonic and just need something to mess with you, a little bit.

Who would I not recommend this for - You're looking for something at least slightly unique. You prefer fewer, deeper plots compared to mutliple fractured ones. You value your time.

Overall, I'm just surprised this was even made. It's hard to find something so uninspired, yet utterly filled with (copied) ideas that go nowhere. It's like they tried to develop something, only to give up midway. Tried again. And again, not clearing up the previous attempts. I guess we're just rolling with it.
