Apple: The Series – ¿La vi o la soñé?

Honestamente, no sé ni por dónde empezar esta reseña… pero no porque tenga demasiado que decir, sino porque —sorpresa— ¡no me acuerdo de la trama! La vi hace unos meses, me olvidé de escribir sobre ella en su momento… y ahora estoy acá, dudando si una de las protagonistas era ciega o eso lo soñé después de una maratón de doramas.

Y mirá, ese dato ya habla por sí solo.

La historia es bastante olvidable, no voy a mentir. Pero también hay que decir que me entretuvo lo suficiente como para verla en dos noches, así que tan grave no fue. Tiene ese factor de “no sé qué está pasando pero no puedo dejar de mirar”, como cuando uno se queda viendo dramas de TikTok sin contexto.

Lo más rescatable, sin duda, es la química entre las protagonistas. Ellas se merecen un guión que les haga justicia. O por lo menos uno que no se borre de la memoria como archivo temporal de WhatsApp.

Conclusión: Apple: The Series no va a cambiar tu vida, ni mucho menos, pero si tenés un rato libre y ganas de ver algo ligero, no duele. Solo no le pidas mucho… ni intentes recordarla después de una semana.

Wholesome fluff, top-tier chemistry, and the destiny trope done right.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the destiny trope Apple My Love gave us. Another unique GL trope in the bag.

From Kris's horrendous self expression skills, the show dives into sweet, simple moments that do exactly what they’re supposed to: make you smile and feel warm.

Kris’s friends? Absolute gems. They’re supportive, adorable, and might just be the best friend group in any GL ever. And let’s give props to OrmFolk because they are straight-up masters of fluff. The sweet and flirty scenes were so good they carried the show, making the simple plot feel exciting and fun. Kris and Karn’s chemistry was top-tier in every soft moment. Even the love scenes were a pleasant surprise.

Kris’s character development was a slow burn, but it worked. You could see her putting in real effort to grow, not just for herself but for Karn too. And the guys in this show? Surprisingly great. Except for that one jerk (looking at you, Toy), the men were actually helpful and even funny, making the show even more entertaining. They represented healthy, supportive relationships which is refreshing.

At its core, this show isn’t about big, dramatic conflicts (except for the last episode). Instead, it’s about Kris and Karn facing hurdles in their relationship and helping each other grow, both as people and in their careers. The communication and understanding between them are what really stand out.

So, if you’re looking for a show with minimal drama, tons of fluff, cares about its side characters, and a genuinely healthy relationship, this is your go-to. It’s a feel-good, stress-free, easy watch that will leave you smiling.

The downside? Six episodes weren’t enough. Budget restrictions led to rushed pacing of the most interesting and lovable details in this series in the last two episodes. With more time, this could’ve been even better.

Trigger warnings: Hetero sex scenes.
