The Love Never Sets Episode 4

A Heartbreak in All the Wrong Ways

I love episode 1 to 3 but episode 4 is such a let downThe apology scene on campus was so painful to watch. They bullied him, vandalised his door, and made his life miserable. Then suddenly, after overhearing a short conversation between Ice and another student about Professor Mint, they realised Ice was the real victim and decided to apologise. Watching all five bullies pour paint over themselves as a form of apology felt so empty. It was meant to be emotional, but instead it came across as awkward and forced. I couldn’t feel any sincerity from it, just discomfort.The GL kiss and NC scene also felt misplaced. If they wanted to explore that relationship, they should have built the emotional connection first. There was no chemistry or buildup, so the kiss felt random and unnecessary. Instead of adding depth, it took me out of the moment completely.Then came the balcony scene, which was supposed to be the emotional turning point between Saint and Ice. For three episodes, we watched Ice’s anger and heartbreak build because of the misunderstanding. The tension between them was so powerful, but in this episode, it all vanished in a few seconds. Just a quick explanation that Saint’s dad took his phone and sent those messages, and suddenly everything was fine. Something that was meant to be heartbreaking and meaningful ended up feeling rushed and hollow.And that final drunk kiss… it left me feeling conflicted. Were they acting in character for the play, or was it real? Did they kiss because they finally cleared the air, or because they were drunk and confused? Ice still has a boyfriend, so the whole moment just felt wrong. If so, that makes it cheating, being drunk doesn’t excuse it. At least show him breaking up with his boyfriend first.The only part that truly touched me was when they held hands and started crying as they shared how much they missed each other. That moment felt so real. Their emotions finally poured out, and both actors did such an amazing job showing their pain and love. It was raw, genuine, and heartbreaking to watch.Overall, episode 4 left me sad, not because of the story’s tragedy, but because it lost the emotional depth that made the first three episodes so special. I just hope the next episode brings back the sincerity and connection that once made this series so moving.
