I am dropping this show. I am happy we got a GL and that it has gained so many viewers, it's promising and hopefully more GL stories will follow suit. However, the quality of GAP is atrocious and while it has been mostly entertaining even if cringy so far, I just can't be bothered to continue watching now after their fight and the unnecessary drama.
The acting is bearable, I do like Freen's performance for the most part and Sam has been my favourite character but also the only one I've cared about. She is giving me major autism vibes and while she can be a horrible person, I do like here as a character and feel for her.
Becky's acting is... I barely made it past the first episode, it took me a week to make it through that one and another two weeks to decide to continue on with the show. Something about it really does not click with me even if it isn't the worst and I can ignore bad acting if the story overall is compelling enough.
The friend group was entertaining to an extent but their overbearing nature and nosiness when some things really do not concern them (e.g. Mon and Sam having sex) quickly became too much for me and the cringe was off the charts.
It is very noticable that the storyline of Tee and Yuki was cut and makes for some very awkward editing.
The editing and the camera angles are another issue. Why is every other scene filmed at a tilted angle?
I liked some parts, enough to continue on for 8 episodes and maybe I will pick it up again some time in the future - but why force myself to watch something when I don't feel like it just to support a GL?
