Plus & Minus (2022)

la maldicion del capítulo 11

Iba re bien. A mi no me suele llamar mucho el childhood friends to lovers (o el friends to lovers en general) pero me parecio re chu esto. Como siempre, en el capítulo 11 hay un confilcto completamente forzado y absurdo que me caga todo.

"Wow conozco a este chabón por 20 años que me lleva gustando hace una decada, finalmente me confesé y empezamos a salir. Voy a terminar con el abruptamente pq quiero que el sea feliz!!!" HAY ALGUIEN CON SENTIDO COMÚN ACÁ POR DIOSS

Aparte, yo JURABA q Nikita era lesbiana, la mas lesbiana de todas y iba a terminar con la otra bartender esta. DE LA NADA, DE LA ABSOLUTA NADA ME DICEN Q GUSTABA DEL BOLUDO ESE???

Dejando lo malo, la pareja secundaria me encantó. Siento q avanzó MUY rapido pero eran re chus. Un señor divorciado con una hija y el bartender q trabaja en el bar q está al lado de la lavanderia del otro. Que más puede uno pedir? Despues de eso, no es muy buena. Pero es corta asi que tampoco creo que sea una perdida de tiempo total verla.

Pluses and Minuses

Overall: I enjoyed how we had working adults (I think these are the first lawyer characters that I've seen). Unfortunately a very cliche plot point towards the end was unnecessary and disappointing but the numerous cameos (especially the enjoyable final episode) knocked my score up to 8.5. Watched on Gagaolala/Viki.

Content Warnings: 2 slaps (kind of acting), fight scene

What I Liked
- the opposite personalities, Fu is more serious and careful, Zheng is more goofy/player and carefree (but I did like that they showed he isn't always super happy go lucky because in real life even really positive people have times when they are sad/angry)
- that they have less common drama jobs (lawyers, laundromat owner, bartender)
- how Zheng apologized to his dad
- the acting, especially you can see how Fu is conflicted and not sure what to think/react
- good production value
- episode 12 moved quickly but was great
- the daughter did a good job and the story she read in episode 12 was adorable

Room For Improvement
- that the sister was recording them
- the cliche of forgetting doing a certain something when drunk
- the cliche plot point at the end especially after Fu talked to Zheng about never doing that (and what terrible timing too)
- the female bartender's cliche plot point
- sometimes the pacing was too slow
- the side couple didn't really hook me, I didn't like the aggressive pursuit/attraction for virtually no reason
- some nonsense things, like tons of lights when camping, lounging around at home in suits
