Almost nothing to complain about so far.
What I can say so far: I liked the character introductions, the episode's dynamic was very good – I believe each character had a good amount of screen time, and I'm in love with Bambi – I think she's the best character so far, and the production looks very good, as expected from GMMTv. I didn't like the opening sequence of the series; I thought it was pretty mediocre. Both the music and the visuals look like a clothing advertisement. It makes no sense. The script is "reasonable" so far (I HAVEN'T READ THE NOVEL), it didn't excite me much, but I didn't think it was bad either. Let's see if it improves or worsens in the next episodes, after all this GL was highly anticipated and there's a risk it will decline simply because fan expectations were so high.Prim and Bambi: You can feel their chemistry from afar, it's crazy how their eyes ignite! Their dynamic is insane, we can see how problematic Bambi is but also how much Prim still has feelings for her, and this puts them in this impasse of "This has already made me suffer before, but I can't love another person, can I confirm it again?"
Min and Praew: Their dynamic is slower, like a kind of "cure," you know? Praew seems very mature and wants to give Min the security to open up and love. I find this very sweet and it breaks some of the tension of the other couples; it's a great contrast and creates balance for the plot.
Sasha and Gorya: I didn't think they matched, and this is the 3rd MilkLove GL I've seen and I still have the same thought: They have no chemistry! Besides, I can't like Sasha because she has the personality I hate most: "The man who believes he's irresistible and doesn't take no for an answer." Sasha can't accept that a woman doesn't like her! So when she finds one, she becomes a kind of "trophy" that she needs to "conquer." And the worst part of this behavior is that when she can't win the woman over, Sasha lies to Gorya to make her feel bad.
PS: Sasha and Bambi may have similar behaviors, but they are different. Because Bambi knows that Prim has feelings for her and that's why she doesn't give up, because when she does something, Prim always ends up giving in... Letting Gorya sleep at her house, wanting to take her home after a night out, etc. However, Gorya made it clear in every way that she WANTS NOTHING to do with Sasha, and yet Sasha doesn't give up. I get angry every time Sasha shows up.

i absolutely love this series
Im absolutely in LOVE with BAMBI!I mean look at those expressions.. and i must say.. Film is doing an amazing job here.. lovvveee her acting..
Milk was a very perfect cast for Shasha.. she can really pull of those baddie vibes with all the girly-ness.. and the girl-boss vibes.. it's wonderful..
Mim looks soo gorgueos in her outfits like awww !! 🥺🥺✨✨
overall.. just 2 eps have been out.. loving this so far..
edit- (after finishing epi 4)
okay, a very unpopular opinion here (i really thought most ppl felt it this way.. but seeing the comments ig im the only one 😭)
this is just a personal view to the primbambi relationship dynamic (we all have different lives of our own, so it is only natural to view such a dynamic in various ways..)
to me, prim and bambi are like soulmates, who have been together for a very long time, and loved each other so deeply.. they been everything to each other.. to a point.. where they literally know each other more than everyone else..
the breakup was just a break from the relationship, both of them couldnt get over, it happened for no reason (i mean ,they both didnot have a fight.. it was an unexplained breakup.. which might be bcz of bambi's mental health )..
bambi is someone very much outgoing, playful, but we do not see her being overly extroverted (being surrounded by too many friends or clingy exes).. even though she is such a sassy character.. up until now, we've only seen how prim's literally her whole world... well, this might mean nothing.. to a lot of you, but i dont know why, this "u're my whole world" kinda love, is always my favourite..
prim, is more of an introverted person, but she is always having ppl around her, she has a bestie, Min (bambi doesnt even have a best frnd).. people like her in the office too.. but she is rather introverted, and it is clear how prim is the most comfy only around bambi.. yeah she can go on with her life, without bambi too.. but that's soo black-and-white for her.. bambi literally "completes" her life.. making it so much more colorful..
i dont know.. why a lot of people are feeling the chemistry is off.. (well, ofc all of us wont have the same povs).. but i feel they have the deepest chemistry here.. being there for each other..
i would like to talk a little bit.. about the issues i saw while reading the comments..
1. bambi's behaviour getting forgiven- well, personally i think, she isnt rude at all.. she's just playful and cute with her gf, who is introverted and loves bambi the way she is.. as an introvert myself, i can confirm, we love these
2. bambi announcing the relationship without talking to prim- umm, werent they almost girlfrnds the whole time? they both cldnt get over, and talked about this, we have seen prim saying in a previous epi "dont get too ahead of urself, im just giving u a chance" (or smtg similar).. which may indicate prim not identifying as bambi's gf.. but i think it was just a cute surprise thingy bambi did for her lover (no hate for this )
3. bambi disappearing- wlw relationships, are always very diff.. someone who has never been in one can never imagine how it is.. they can never understand .. how much an emotional break can mean to someone who needs it really badly.. and i blv.. bambi had her reasons.. she has deep trauma.. and the fact i love the most about her is, the way she never tries any sort of victim card. even though she is this sick.. love her..
so yeah, just my personal views.. feel free to correct me if im wrong somewhere

Refreshing
Firstly, the Screenwriter/ Director and Cinematographers deserve to be appreciated. They have done great job in fleshing out Girl Rules universe. If only the editing would have been better and set a bit more grand then the series would be so much better.Cast was impeccable as usual and expected. The most refreshing aspect of this show is that it is bold and unapologetic. The main characters are all flawed and toxic in their own way which is so human compared to the usual green flag MCs. Another thing I love the most about this series is the colours of props and sets so even though Art Director could not bring grander sets where it should have been, they certainly did a great job with what they had.
Even though Screenwriter and Actresses were running on a tight schedule I love the little nuances and details on each character which makes their personalities feel closer and even relatable.
Also, (unrelated) somehow it feels like Jojo himself sat down with editor and then discovered all these upgraded effects and transitions and put them just to get the 'Gen Z' effect.

When manifestation turns reality
Y'all have NO IDEA how much I manifested namtanfilm, milklove, ciize and some other gmmtv actresses in only friends gl version. I'm so happy that I finally got it. I hope gmmtv won't fumble it. I must say that bambi is a psychopath fs! Girlie is EVERYTHING I wanted may to be in pluto. The acting is so far amazing. Ghostships are also ghostshiping so let's see what happens in rest of the episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
