dumpster fire of a show
it honestly had so much potential, main character and ML are absolutely gorgeous and have great chemistry but it was wasted on this. beginning was cute, it was marketed as "mc is the only one that can handle him, so becomes his manager and they develop feelings" and while cute it really wasnt. the writer tried to paint the ml as hard to work with in the start, but he everything he was upset about was valid so that didnt work. apart from that, they basically immediately liked each other but didnt get together for like 9 episodesthe two characters had a happy relationship for like half an episode, and everything else was just trouble and turmoil. i get wanting an angsty factor, but at that point its just irritating
that isnt even the main problem; firstly the writer is obsessed with sexualising the ml ad putting him in situations that he is assaulted. i understand the actor is hot, but can we calm down and focus on the plot for 5 seconds.
apart from that the ml keeps letting his ex get uncomfortably close to him, without saying anything. at first they werent together so it was technically fine. him being 1/8th of a centimeter away from kissing his ex, right after he almost kissed mc, and right before they got together again icky but technically fine; they tried to play it off by him rejectig her, but he doesnt have to almost kiss her to tell her no.
repeatedly while they model the ex makes insinuating jokes to him and the crew, making everyone believe they're dating, while also being in comprosmising positions his ex chose to keep escalating- and not ONCE did he ever shut her down out of respect to his girlfriend, that was weird but kind of managable . whats not fine is him almost having *** with his ex while dating the mc and them playing it off. he barely got flack for it, and the writer tried to act like it wasnt his fault despite him willingly being there and not pushing away his ex.
her mother was terrible. all through the first act, shes berating her daughter and blaming her for every small issue, despite the daughter only having to be in that situation for the mothers wrong actions. the whole reason she even became a manager at first despite having no experience was her mother tricking her into doing it, so why is she shocked the person with no experience is making mistakes.
something i really dont understand, is the mc listening to the mothers advice on her relationshio even though, she abandoned her as a childto move abroad, abandoned her again to build a new family when she came back, only contacted her when she needed something. berates, insults and talks down on her everytime anything goes wrong, even going as far as to say she didnt like being her mother ; she does this all and never properly says sorry, but somehow shes listening to her?!?!
this is all apart from the below mediocre character and plot writing. ml is painfully one sided, the lines are cheesy as hell; and th e older sister plotline needed far more development at the start of the show
in summary the couple is barely ever happy, her mother is completely toxic, but somehow gets a redemption from her daughter she never works for; ml is sexualised in every other scene and is in a compromising position with a girl thats not the mc (either willingly or unwillingly) every single episode. Mc is painfully naive and unaware and its infuriating to see. watch at your own discretion
