This series had a genuinely interesting story and conflict at its core, and I could see what the writers were aiming for emotionally. The themes, character struggles, and dramatic moments all had potential to be really impactful. However, I think the biggest thing holding it back was the lack of emotional buildup and character depth throughout the series. A lot of the major emotional scenes felt like they were supposed to hit hard and leave a lasting impression, but for me they didn’t fully land because I never became deeply attached to the characters themselves. I understood the pain, tension, and conflict they were going through, but the show didn’t spend enough time developing quieter, more personal moments that would’ve helped me as a viewer feel emotionally connected to them. Because of that, some of the emotional climaxes ended up feeling a bit rushed or shallow instead of truly cathartic. The actors still did a good job with the material they were given, and there were definitely moments that stood out, but I think the series would’ve been much stronger if it had slowed down occasionally and focused more on building emotional investment before asking viewers to feel the full weight of those scenes.
Aside from the straight “couple,” I felt like I experienced every emotion a human can feel during the final…
they do these final scenes so well every Saturday I'm left in awe mostly crying bc of the sheer raw emotions they are able to convey through those. I want more it just can't end next week
episode 11 didn't feel as emotionally cathartic as i had hoped for. having Ploy basically stalk Pun to gain her trust back and be on her good side again was definitely a weird choice she didn't directly explain anything to Pun and instead had her brother do all of that for her all she mustered to say was i'm sorry which was definitely needed but i was hoping for more emotional depth and resposiblity from Ploy
