Don't bother watching
I had high hopes for this production as I always love a nerdy love story, but it was just disappointing all around. It feels unfinished. We only had one couple and ironically it still doesn't feel like enough. I don’t think this could be fixed by making a season two either. There was so much content but not enough chemistry scenes. They only got a kiss the last few seconds of the show and it didn’t have any build up. I am fine with it being the last episode but make it have some meaning. I mean they kissed like it was there first after it said they had been dating for years. Why was it in slow motion? I would have rather it be a typical high school show and had no kiss at all. Niran was having a whole arc with judo and it felt like it had been smashed to pieces by the last episode. He just ended up where he began. Yes, he did get an emotional restart with his mom, but was it really even needed? Multiple times he said “my mom left me” while she was right there the whole time! They should have hardened that and made it become a conflict of why Niran wouldn’t date Cheewa right after begging to like him. The ending was abrupt as well, it just told me where everyone ended up. I liked it in Legally Blonde, not here. I wish there had been someone in the writing room that knew what they were doing with this material to make it better. They could have had such well rounded ideas. Arcs would have succeeded and endings would have been satisfying. Honestly, I thought having no second couple would be fine because the main couple was doing good but I think the show would have been better with two couples. It would have added dimension. Anyway, the only redeeming qualities was Sea’s character, Cheewa. He played it perfectly. No shade to Keen because he did well too but his character was so badly written nobody could have fixed him.
