WHAT THE F* IS THIS?
🎬 Direction & Production
The pacing is unbelievably erratic — dragged-out scenes desperately trying to pass as “atmospheric,” followed by rushed transitions that feel like the editors tossed everything together at the last minute.
Lighting and set design are painfully cheap-looking. Scenes either feel like paradise or purgatory, with zero nuance. Feels like someone said “cheapest option, go!” and nobody pushed back.
🎠Acting & Casting
Drake Palma: He tries—but each scene reads like he’s reading auto-generated dialogue instead of being in the moment. His emotions are flat, and when he does attempt intensity, it lands as a stock reaction.
Co-star: Her voice cracks under any emotional weight and she inflects every line like she’s trying to win a radio competition. Zero chemistry — they might as well be on different sets.
✨ Chemistry
Watching them “connect” is like witnessing two people stuck inside separate bubbles. No shared pulse or spark whatsoever — just obligatory close-ups and empty gazes.
đź“š Script & Dialogue
The lines are so clumsily written they sound like fanfic from the ’90s — cheesy phrasing, cringe-worthy metaphors, and zero wit.
Plot points feel dropped halfway and forgotten — I kept waiting for revelations that never came and payoff that fizzling like a dead sparkler.
🧩 Overall
It’s painfully obvious the production was rushed — probably just aimed to tick “releasing something this year” off a studio checklist.
Instead of investing in talent or storytelling, they leaned on name recognition (looking at you, Palma) and cheap aesthetics.
Seducing Drake Palma ends up feeling like a bottom-shelf knockoff of better romantic dramas — all styleless, hollow, and regrettable.
If you’re craving a romance with heart, depth, or even passable tension, keep scrolling — this one’s a hard pass.
