For me, today's episode was the weakest one. The actors did an amazing job, so setting that aside, my main issue is with the writing. While it had its funny moments, the show started off strong, especially with the tension built around the parents' disapproval of the relationship. Because of that, it felt lackluster when the father, agreed so quickly and easily. The Shohei subplot also felt unnecessary and didn't contribute much to the story. Overall, the episode felt too fairytale-like to me. There were few to no real consequences, or they were softened so much that they didn't feel meaningful. Also although toxic relationships can end happily in real life, the show didn't provide enough depth into their dynamic, which made the directing choice difficult to understand. Perhaps my expectations were just too high for MAT.
The show is amazing. It's so heartwarming and funny and the actors are doing such a great job. My only issue is the way some scenes are cut. There's often no smooth connection or transition between them. I wish they worked more on that.
I don't think he “played” with Po. He loved Po and simply withdrew once he saw there was no room for him between Thame and Po. And we've been seeing his attempt to create a room and it didn't work. Which is still fair because Thame and Po as cute as they are together are still not in a relationship, so anyone can try and get their shot. Crash as it may sound, this can happen in real life, the best you can do is walk away when the person you love isn't interested in you. So far, Jun hasn't done anything terrible, so I don't understand why you see him as such a negative character.
Well at the end of the day, it's GMMTV and they like happy endings. Jun betraying Mars wouldn't fit the narrative. So, I personally think they won't go in that direction.
I don't know if they were trying to be careful with the plot. But it didn't work for me. I expected more. The story is too fast which is expected for a 2 episode series but the story started over with Tinn and Gun who didn't even know each other. The scenes they changed did not do justice to the original. Anyway I'm waiting for the episode to give my final opinion. Which is not bad considering all the 2nd episodes of our skyy 2 that I don't consider finishing.
