Can't count how many times I've rewatched this show.
I love this series so much! There are three parts, each focusing on a different couple, but everything is intertwined. All the actors in this series did such an amazing job. I didn't know any of the actors except Force and Book, which is why I originally wanted to watch this series, and ended up in love with all of them! The acting was great, the comedy was awesome, I even loved the sound effects. lol
Spoilers.....
Arc and Arm: Their story was the first part of the series, episode 1-8, which tells how they met and what they thought of each other and how their relationship progressed. At first, honestly, I did not really like Arc or their story much. I was bummed because like I said, I watched it for Force and Book. Arc is an a hole most of the time to Arm, but apparently that is his 'love language'. Kind of like pulling a girls pigtails because the boy likes her. He is mean and aggressive and pretty much talks down to Arm at the beginning. Throughout the series though I grew to love Arc. He is subtle in his hilarity! Arm is just as strong willed and spiteful and doesn't take much of Arc's crap and even deals some of his own. They both played their characters well. There wasn't a lot of drama or the 'third' wheel coming in to cause jealousy and miscommunication. I also loved that after their 8 episodes, we still get to see them as background characters and their progression in life. Force and Book were great together as always and seeing them in this really healed my soul after watching the craptasiticness that was Only Friends.
In episodes 1-8 we also see the progression of the relationship between Pond (Arc's friend) and Sand (Arm's friend). I didn't spend a lot of time on this couple, but they were sweet and cut and Pond was patient and determined. Sand was kind of clueless but adorable. We get to see them throughout the whole series and how their relationship is going as they go through college and graduation.
Yotha and Gun: Their story is in the second part of the series, episodes 9-16, which focuses on them learning to live together as roommates, growing into sort of friends, and then into romantic relationship. Yotha was very hard to like. He was not nice to anyone, not even his brothers. He grows on you....slowly. Out of the three main focused relationships, theirs had the most angst and frustration. Yotha played around with Gun's feeling, imo. I really didn't like the way he would get Gun's hopes up just to dash them because he was having a bad day or just didn't want to communicate. I also really did not like that they had Yotha kiss his ex when Gun was present and then proceed to pretend like nothing happened and never apologized or really even explained why he did it. Then proceeds to string Gun along until he makes up his mind if he can learn to 'love' or not, something that stems from his mom's abandonment of him when he was young and then War basically having him believe he didn't know what love was. You end up loving Yotha, but he really had to work on it. I really loved Santa's portrait of Gun. He was hilarious and a little turd to his friends. He conveyed so much with his face. When he's happy and mean it's great. When he's heartbroken and scared it's horrible. Him and Perth worked really well together. Gun and Arm together is one of my favorite moments of the series! lol
War and Kloa: Was is Yotha's ex and during the 9-16 episodes they are the side couple. I really wasn't interested in their story much. From what I gather, because I skipped a lot of it. Kloa is a hot head that likes to fight and is extremely jealous of Yotha, because War babies him due to his guilt of breaking up with him. So their growth is Kloa learning to control his anger and talk it out with War. And War learns to put Kloa before Yotha and treat him like an actual boyfriend. I love Aou and Boom and they did great, I just didn't find their characters very interesting.
As with the Arm and Arc we get to see both couples continue to grow and develop over the culmination of the series.
Faifa and Wine - There story is the third (and final) main story of the series, episodes 17-24. I have to say that these two were by far my favorite! Faifa in general was the best character. Junior played him to perfection! I could watch a whole series of just Faifa's shenanigans. There story actually starts at the beginning of the series where they meet for the first time. Then they meet a few times in the second story. And finally we get to focus on them in their story. Wine is heart broken and in the closet because he's ashamed of being gay. Faifa is a yes man because he doesn't want to hurt anyone by rejecting them, because like his brother Yotha, he was also abandoned my his mother at a later age and thought the only way people would love him was if he was doing things for them to make them happy. Wine helps him by taking care of him and putting him first and not asking for anything in return. He helps him slowly become ok with telling people no. They communicated everything to each other and it was refreshing!
I can not handle Faifa and Gun's relationship. They are so funny. I would love to see more of them and the 'fighting' they do. All the side characters were awesome! They all had a part to play and none of them felt like 'fillers'. They all bought something to the series. The last few episodes were a nice way to close out the series with everyone working together to help Kloa propose to War. It was cute and fluffy and made you do that sigh when you're happy for the characters. Over all I really really love this series. I wish they would continue it with new couples and cameo's or guest appearances from these characters. I definitely recommend if you want light, funny, with a smidge of drama about a bunch of college friends growing up and falling in love.
