EARNPETE DESERVED BETTER
Into: This review has no real ties to my whole feelings about lovesick. I just felt that no one else was talking about my sweet earnpete enough in these reviews. So I have taken it upon myself to do such.
pt1. Earn
Okay so I watched the og lovesick (s1) and I knew that eran had a crush on noh. BUT in this show they took it up a notch. LIKE he was DOWN BAD for noh. At the start I was like"okay he has a crush on noh, but we all know that end game is phunoh. "So I knew they were going to drag the whole love triangle thag for a while. But it was not I long I thought it would be. It also didn't help that from episodes 10-13 earn like completely disappeared. So let me break it down even more. Eps 1-5 he was actually important to the story. The eps 6- 9 he was still somwaht important. Like I said eps 10-13 he was not even there. Finally the LAST TWO EPISODES. He showed up just so they still pull the love triangle SAME STUFF they were doing back in like ep 6 or something. Now that I broke it down I have to specifically talk about how the writers wrote him. Like in ep 5 he literally saw phun and noh being all cuddling and stuff, but he still liked noh. That is kind of excuseable since it was only ep 5. But then it ep 9 he confesses his feelings towards noh and noh friend zones him. But you know what he dose? He literary sings a WHOLE sad song on how heart broken he was. And he still likes noh. Now that I was a little annoyed by that, but I thought "hey we still have eps 10-15 he can make a comeback." Worng. LIKE I HAVE SAID 2 TIMES HE DISAPPEARED FROM THE SHOW AS A WHOLE. Finally you think maybe JUST mabye they won't recycle the same things they have been doing the past 13 episodes with earns charater. BUT NO. ep 14 &15 guess what? HE STILL LIKES NOH. This one makes the least sense tho. Phunoh are already a thing, plus all of their friends say it SO LOUD that phunoh are dating. So you know what the writers did? They made earn look like a dumb charater still having a crush on noh and noh FOR THE SECOND TIME had to friend zone earn . I know it might have been a contrasting change for his character, but I just feel they dragged out earn liking noh for way too long. Another point about earn and noh's relationship, is that I felt that noh HAD to be there so that earn could be in the scene. What I mean by that is for comparison all the rest of the side character basically had their own story plot lines going for them separate form phunoh (of course they still connected to them by being their friends n stuff but my point is still there. ) Finally I have to talk about how I thought earn felt about Pete . I GENERALLY feel that earn really only liked pete as a friend (that is the harsh truth. ) Because I also feel if they didn't (again) make earn like noh for 4/5 of the show they could've actually grown their relationship.That concludes my thoughts on earn.
pt2. Pete
Now pete. At the start I first of all, didn't know his og character (didn't watch s2) and didn't really care for his character mostly.Then we reached the glorious ep5 (one of the canon earnpete eps). When I watched this ep I was thinking "oh Pete's character is actually a decent side character and he is lowkey eating his scenes with earn. " Especially when he picked up his food thingy off the floor when earn saw phunoh being all close and stuff. I was thinking "oh he cares abt earn a lot and stuff. "Also in this ep we were introduced to Pete's ex bf. Which I have no hate for the ship of the two actors in irl, but in the show it is weird in that context. We were told that his ex has already graduated high school and all, so I'm thinking "why is this grown man hanging around these dam high schoolers." Because if you think about for a sec his character would have been a senior in high school and Pete would have been a junior. That is the only exceptional solution to their whole relationship. Plus I was really hoping that the writers wouldn't take that age gap stuff form the og into the new show, or at least I thought some one would call it out for being a bit suspicious. Which earn lowkey did in the show but it was js a little scene. That was kind of overlooked in ep 15 when the girls were fan girling when Pete and his ex bf were being kinda cutest. So im thinking do you want us to want them together or not (or maybe I js need someone to clarify what was happening there. ) Next I have to talk about the second earnpete cannon ep, ep 9! So basically I already mentioned how earn sang that whole sad song for noh and stuff. BUT I didn't mention how Pete reacted to it. Oh when the camera panned to Pete looking at noh when earn was singing, I was like "oh NOO" I felt soo bad for Pete. But I was saved by the single handly best earnpete moment. When Pete dried earns hair. That scene is unironically the best chemistry I've seen in ANY bl so far.LIKE you don't get how hard pete was looking at earn. Last point,I knew that Pete as a character would have less importance than earn, so I didn't really care that much that he was gone for a major of show. Plus I know that phop in real life is studying to be a doctor so I do understand why he wasn't there every ep. That concludes my thoughts on Pete.
pt3. The marketing of earnpete
Finally in this section I will be talking about mainly the cast listing, mvs, and the special ep, v.s earnpete in the actually show. First of all the cast listing. I know that mabye not a big deal to you but it has importance. Normally you know it goes form main characters to side to finally guest and such. But this show decided to LIE to me. Going form main leads to earnpete. When that doesn't reflects how the show is actually like. Out of the main 4 cps, they are marketed as the 2nd main, but in actuality they are more of the 4th, if we're going off screen time. Next is mvs, they were featured on 2. First the "shake" mv and the OST that kirt sang. Just on its own that they got their own WHOLE MV is js like u would think that they are pretty important. BUT NO. Last but not least I have to talk about the special ep. After I finished the show I thought the special ep was my last hope on actually having some content on earnpete that the show failed to give us. And it did give me sum good scenes, but one thing was on my mind the whole time. All 15 eps of lovesick 2024. EARNPETE DIDN'T EVEN GET TOGETHER! Throughout all the mvs and the special ep. Earnpete sadly didn't get together.On their final scene all we got was Pete asking earn for the Friday necklace thing. I feel that the company was lowkey(KINDA)on sum skynani stuff basically making them a bromance ship in the show. Correct me if I'm wrong .Contrasting the actors are a actuall ship. My last point is that I wish the company was more realistic on how they portraited earnpete in the marketing,so that AT LEAST I wouldn't have been mislead.That is my thoughts on the marketing of earnpete.
Outro: Finally we've reached the end of my review. I really made this because I just finished the main lovesick things a couple weeks ago and I had A LOT of points to make about earnpete. I js hope that someone like minded as me reads this. 👍🏿
