Weak writing and directory saved by the cast's chemistry and comedy
For a something that was based on an existing work, I find the writing in this story weak. What made it worse was the subpar directory.
My first impression with this was that it had nice cast but the lines were weak, the conversation was weird, the plot sequence average at most. Then it got pulled down by the terrible directory in some scenes that did not involve comedy.
It would be understandalble if the writing and directory is clunky if it was full comedy which in fact the half of the first episode and the whole second episode is. I laugh so much from there and I think the way it was directed finally made sense. Cause you really did not need a lot of sense in terms of comedy. The chemistry with the leads also was tangible making it easy in the eyes. They made the plot even more engaging.
Then came ep 3 and 4. I was really hoping a lot from it, I've even waited for it for a week. But the comedy that carried the first two episodes started to fizzle out. These two episodes were not comedic at all. It was not because it was not funny anymore but more because it had no funny scenes. It was written intentionally not to focus on the funny scenes. There were fights, problems, challenges, scheming, planning and other stuffs. To be honest I did not remember anything worth memorable in this two episodes.
Without the comedy, the issues it had with weak writing and execution started to grow its head. The story became serious and contemplative. Aside from how it had become a meh plotline now without the comedy, it was also not that motivating to watch anymore.
I am not sure if Im going to watch the next episode, thus I made this. I may, but if I was bored and had nothing to do.
Honestly they should have sticked to comedy instead of being serious. But I guess there could be no more area now for it to be comedic? And those episode 1 and 2 could be just a chance event as the plot dictated it to be comedic.
I am not excited where the story was going now. The pacing felt off somehow and it did not feel like the future story would be funny too. It might deal with betrayal, pain, conspiracy, etc, that was just not that interesting to me, it did not help that the execution might be clunky too.
