Just so many people!
This was A LOT. Honestly I don't even know where to start reviewing this, because it was just all over the place.
I did like that the plot of every episode was focused on just one or two main character's storyline, but since there were six or seven main leads, most of the stories were rushed and somewhat felt incomplete. The writing was also very awkward at times, especially on one of the first storylines.
The acting was superb, even though sometimes the directing and editing was a little dramatic, but it /is/ a drama and we will forgive it that. I really enjoyed the chemistry between all the actors, especially the couples.
The boys were good, obviously, but the girls helped carrying this show so much on their own shoulders that it wouldn't be the same without them. I appreciated that the female characters were all different with their own personalities and that they weren't pushovers. Again, I would've preferred better writing or a little more time to explore and expand all of their stories, but I guess you can't do much with so many characters and just 16 episodes available.
I have to say, it was confusing at the beginning to find a single plotline that connected all of the characters together, and to be fair it took 10 episodes to come about, but the individual plotlines were quite interesting, and full of cute tropes, even though a little poorly executed.
The MookLee storyline's resolution, for example, was so unsatisfying and rushed by the second couple of episodes, just to give space to the next couple, and I've been confused by that ever since. The longer storylines - i.e. the last one, that ties them all up together, with a long flashback that connects to the ending episodes - are more satisfying in terms of storytelling than the shorter ones about just one or two characters.
Overall quite confusing, but it was a light show with its good moments.
