Smartly made, with some minor concerns about the end

The set up of this is smart and compelling with fluid interview/documentary style montages. These allow it to offer a more panoramic view of relationship questions that come to dovetail in the main romance- I liked this right away.

I think the pacing towards the end could have benefitted from expanding further into the leads' relationship. Ultimately, I think the series is too short and could've done a lot more with longer episodes, even if that would've obviated the need for the intercut interviews. Perhaps alternatively it could've abridged the idyllic flashback more in favor of the scenes in the city (part of me thought this should've been called "Lovestruck at the Beach"). Still, I liked the comedy of remarriage style structure (falling in love again) and how that creates a powerful conflict for most of the run.

All in all, a quick watch that's smartly constructed, enjoyable, and features strong acting, especially from the supporting cast.
