Couple or Not (2023)

here for the vibes

Overall: I'm giving this an indie rating bump. Airing 8? (not sure how they are going to wrap this up in 2 more episodes) about 5 minutes each. Airing on YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLntTK4N-Qw93GF8vageNABiU2xjXfSzLm&si=ehzjFFMBeABmtkck

What I Liked
- unique premise
- a character's hair color makes it clear which universe they are in

Room For Improvement
- episode 5 and 6 should have been in chronological plot order because I was very confused starting episode 5
- there isn't really a relationship in either universe to root for

It's bad but interesting... keeps you hooked

Episode 1 will absolutely confuse you. The drama is fine. The problem is the story telling and them only having 5 mins to explain a pretty thick plot.

The story starts with Gui dreaming about his childhood friend and probably his first crush Shi proposing to him and then along with this dream he dreams of their first night in the parallel world. So this will kinda confuse. Gui's hair is the savior of this series. It kinda helps understand the plot but you'll take time to get there😆

After that "prophetic" dream Shi actually shows up at his door. Apparently Gui ran away from home after he graduated to work as a gamer but things are not going well. His mom coincidentally meets Shi who is now a doctor and is looking for a place to stay in this city and asks him to stay with her son and help him get a job. That's how they end up living together after being separated for 10 years. Shi kinda does try to convince Gui to get a job but that upsets Gui and to top that his gaming career is not going well. So he kinda goes to sleep upset and ends up waking up in an omegaverse world where he gets to know he's an omega married to his ex best friend Shi who is an alpha and might be pregnant with his child. He undergoes all these tests and once it's confirmed that he was pregnant he tries to get out of this world and passes out and comes back to the OG world. Where his friend Shi is taking him to the hospital cz he was claiming to be pregnant with his child😆😆.

Now they abruptly cut to the omega Gui's pov who is forced arranged married to the alpha and ends up getting pregnant just by sleeping with him once. They just show the scenes where he wakes up and some day to day activities like eating and stuff. Where the alpha is definitely not interested in the omega but the omega is kinda enduring it but is also pissed with him. Then he starts feeling that he's getting tired easily so he takes a pregnancy test and it comes out as positive. He decides to get an abortion but then he informs the alpha just in case and goes to bed (that's when he switches bodies with Gui).

This is the summary of 6 episodes the last 2 are yet to be uploaded

This is a thick plot drama with a lot of switching. It needs very good story telling and also time. That's the part this falls short.
