What I Liked
- wandering hands
- kissing
- a villain actually received decent consequences though I would have liked to see even more consequences
- martial arts backdrop

Room For Improvement
- again wanted it to focus more on the main leads/relationship development instead of the present day villain
- time jump

On the Rewards (popcorn bag icon page)
- check in = 5 (increases over 7 days up to 25)
- create a login = 20? (I did create a login because otherwise you only get 1 Always Win box instead of 3 per day, I think this was 20 popcorn)
- do the 3 random popcorn from the daily Always Win box = 30 (I'd normally get 5-15, around 30 in total)
- Watch Ads, watch all 10 ads each day, have to wait 30 seconds in between ads = 110

When you run out of popcorn while watching, you can watch 5 episodes each day with ads
