A Series with (Too Many) Good Ideas, But Far Too Late
It's tough to make a definitive judgment on this series. While it eventually brings some good ideas to the table, they arrive much too late to truly captivate. Episode 9 offers a slight glimmer of hope, but everything before it unfortunately feels pointless.
The character development, despite obvious attempts, remains disappointingly superficial. Take Sant, for instance: his mommy issues from abandonment could have been a poignant arc, but it's bizarrely turned into a joke. You're left feeling utterly confused. Similarly, the relationship between Jay and his brother, full of potential, is only explored far too late in the series. It's frustrating to witness such wasted opportunity.
And let's talk about the product placement... it's so blatant and unsubtle that it becomes annoying after a while.
I also would have liked more depth in the relationship between Yada and Baipor. It's high time GMMTV took GL (Girls' Love) seriously and invested more in nuanced storytelling.
Thankfully, the character of Gugg is a breath of fresh air, and I really enjoyed their presence.
In short, if you're looking for a series to turn off your brain or just have on as background noise, this one will do. Otherwise, it feels like GMMTV is playing with its audience once again.
