Very repetitive and would NOT recommend
I will be breaking this into different sections to highlight the many things that went wrong with this show.
STORY/PLOT:
I don't know what I expected from a Wattpad story that is still ongoing. reading the book had me second guessing everything... they put serious topics like r@pe, manipulation and SA into the story but instead of raising awareness they are instead brushing past it like dust. JJ almost go r@ped but the next day its as if it never even happened, she was drugged and was legit seconds away from becoming a victim and yet nothing at all to spread awareness about how sick that is. The show had too many filler episodes, if I had to actually count I would say only about 5 episodes are actually needed out of the whole 16. There were so many unnecessary things but I'll just get into those later.
CHARACTERS:
the characters were all horrible in a sense.
KEIFER: the traumatic kid who doesn't want to end up like his abusive father who ends up being a jerk for most of the show. since I read the book, I couldn't really be mad at Keifer at all. His whole childhood is just too sad and seriously traumatic, not to mention him having to take care of his siblings at such a young age. his whole " I don't apologize' attitude was annoying, like bro it doesn't cost much to simply apologize for being a jerk.
JJ: I actually liked her at first but then she just got annoying, her meddling into other people's business might have saved them but it was so unnecessary and also just annoying. Her jumping to conclusions is also so utterly infuriating... girl please take a moment and try to understand the situation before jumping to conclusions.. you don't know their story so stop. Her getting herself in trouble every single day and needing Section E but mostly Keifer to come and rescue her was simply just rage bait, like girl stand up and stop causing trouble.
YURI: before I even read the book I knew for a fact that something was wrong with this guy first of all, his whole I Love JJ BS was never matching with me in the books and especially in the show. So many Yuri fans made me so mad because they claimed he was such a nice guy and a green flag but bro had all the time in the world to warn JJ of the plan but he never did, and he takes everything as a freaking competition... like just chill. The engagement was the icing on the top for me, not only did JJ tell him that she likes Keifer, she also rejected his proposal but he still managed to force her to get engaged by using her families bankruptcy as a leverage... like what??? and then he acted as if he had nothing to do with it.
SECTION E: nothing much, they were funny but at times could be annoying, like how do they all have issues that they refuse to solve and are waiting on someone else to help them out like what....
JJ FAM: one of the worst families to ever exist. The fact that they didn't even think about asking for her opinion on this whole engagement is actually crazy work. And then they had the nerve to tell her that if she hates it she can call it off, after they have already publicly announced it and they they proceeded to guilt trip her and saying well if you don't get engaged with Yuri then we will go bankrupt and it will be your fault like what... she is 17 yrs old....
ACTING:
one of the worst acting I've ever encountered.... JJ's acting was watchably good but it wasn't spectacular, everyone else was just horrible... I legit couldn't really keep on watching because the acting was imply so embarrassing but I understand that they are all newbies to the industry.
MUSIC:
some absolute bangers were introduced to me through this series, the miss universe song is stuck on repeat and that tibok one too, not to mention daleng.
CHEMISTRY:
the only reason why I wanted to stay til the end, the chemistry between JJ (ashtine) and Keifer (Andres) was just impeccable, both on stage and off stage.... but I don't know why their agency has been pushing Yuri (rabin) with ashtine more than Andres considering they are the main couple.
LAST EPISODE:
this is what I've been waiting for... no unnecessary plot but most of all KEIFER was actually acting instead of reading a script.
this was truly the best episode by far.. it makes me want to wait for a season 2 and is also the only reason why I didn't rate this show a 4.5
OVERALL:
just don't waste your time on this show, it made me lose brain cells!! from the acting to the characters, to the horrendously written wattpad story.
