Bas said they meet episode 5 and stuff gets rolling good in episode 6

Agreed. This level of nothing-sauce takes real work to accomplish.

Pond and Earth are definitely mis-cast as partners. I don't think they have much magic (chemistry) going on between them.

But I feel it could be at least somewhat better if the director/screen writers would stop turning Easter into a child, and Hill into a mooning weirdo.

Because we have no chance of seeing what kind of chemistry Pond and Cooheart could possibly bring to their roles due to bad direction and bad writing. We know Pond can act. And we know Cooheart can act. But the directing and writing in this drama isn't leaving room for their abilities to come through?

This series isn't getting hate. It's getting a rightful amount of critical response to what is an entirely lackluster production. "Cute" doesn't have to be poorly executed, confusing or badly paced. Nor does "cute" have to be exempt from chemistry. Therefore, a drama *attempting* to be cute is no excuse for what's wrong with this one.

Couldn't have said it better!

Exactly!

I have asked myself this exact same thing. I am not sure how it's maintaining a 7.8. Witchcraft? Because honestly, watching this is almost as painful as watching That's My Candy.

Pond and Cooheart have 0 chemistry and the drama's interpretation of the book's plot is all over the place. It's also boring and the pieces of flashback are too stripped of context to make a whole helluva lot of sense right now.

I am only holding on because North is well done. Bas is doing a good job.

I don't think the script writers, who have only worked on this and We Are, have any experience with telling a coherent story.

This!

Yup. So far it's been mind-numbing levels of boring. I am hoping that Maxky and Bas have better chemistry than Pond and Cooheart.

Hopefully it's done in a less dead boring fashion than the Hill/Easter story has been told in.

Bas is presenting the only interesting performances so far. So I'm hoping once Johan/North get their time on screen, things will be less boring. But given who is Director and who the Script Writers are, I am not sure that even Bas' acting can help.

I'm sticking it out. But this will be my last New Siwaj drama. He absolutely sucks.

This coming episode (#5) Johan/North meet and both Bas and Cooheart asserted that their story gets really rolling in episode 6

Yeah, New Siwaj pretty much ruined this. But he had help from the 2 script writers whose only claim to fame was this and We Are. So this project is doomed.

I have no idea if there is an official translation. But you could try contacting the author on Twitter. @howlsairy

This! ☝️

Bas is making North seem interesting. I would drop it but I wanna stick it out for North's romance.

I feel the show is awful, but I'm sticking with it because North is the one, single interesting character and Bas is giving the only likable performance.

Tho, I do agree that between Pond and Bas, Cooheart has way more chemistry with Bas!

Over the course of several interviews, the actors have asserted that there will be 2 seasons. And if you look at the list of alt names for the series, it lists "Fourever You Part One". Which suggests the actors are correct, and there will be a "part two".

Additionally, both Bas (North) and Cooheart (Easter) have stated during interviews that the primary focus of season one was the first two couples and that the exploration of the second two pairings will be left for season 2.

I cannot say with surety how this will affect the flow of plot or the weird pacing. But! It might explain why they don't seem in any hurry to tell Easter's story.

Will do. At this point I'm only watching for sweet North's time on screen. Bas is carrying the whole, lame drama on his back.
