Episode 8 is where they messed up big time
Overall, the show was so mid. If it weren't for Pond and Don, I would've rated it lower to be honest.
Things I liked:
-Than's parents! They are so cute and have such sweet love for each other and Than as well as the grandkids!
-Mawin & Nene! Absolutely loved these two so much! They were so fun and added such sass and funny moments to the series! They were in my top five characters in the series for sure!
-The group of three guys and two girls at Kin's work (AJ and them)! They brought such funny moments to the show. They were all such divas and I loved it. Wish we saw more of them honestly, especially the girls.
-Meya! Loved her!! She is so gorgeous too!
-Pond and Don's story!! I'll get more into that
-The wedding! I love when these series end with a wedding and theirs was so cute! Love that we saw people give speeches, dancing, the matching suits, the kids being a part of it, and the location, all of it I loved so much!!
Things I didn't like:
-Nat. He just annoyed me and seemed a little useless honestly
-Kin. I'll get more into that too.
-Kin and Than's relationship bored me. I liked them together, but they were so boring.
-The "what if" thing they did in the finale. Why did we spend 10 minutes on something we already knew the answer to. "What if that never happened? We would've been in love" ...Yeah no shit. We literally just watched a whole show about how despite all that, you were still in love.
-Kin leaving for that period of time just to show us that despite time apart they still love each other LIKE THAT WASN'T THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE SHOW TO BEGIN WITH. It felt like they just needed to fill airtime.
Kin and Than:
Let me start off by saying I do think they were cute together. They love each other a lot and nothing will ever stop that love. They're great dads/uncles to the kids too. I think the four of them will truly be happy together. That being said, all of this could've been avoided if Kin just TALKED TO THAN! And they prove that with their "what if" thing in the finale. Kin just annoyed me so much because if his communication issues. They were just kind of a boring couple. Neither one of them as individuals had a very interesting personality. Their personality was liking the other one and that was kind of it. They were just boring to watch. I was over them pretty quickly into the series.
Don and Pond:
These two were the best part of this show hands down. They're relationship was so good! I loved seeing their relationship develop over the show. They had phantastic chemistry too! The love they had for each other went so deep, even though they never got to express just how much they truly loved each other. I loved when they were on screen. I wish we got more time with them. Their ending was so upsetting though. Why did Don die? It felt so out of left field. And why was Pond the only one who cared that he died? Why was it so quickly rushed over? I've seen so many other viewers say it as well. I am glad they gave us more of Pond grieving and thinking of Don during the wedding, but it just felt so brushed over by everyone else in the show. I don't understand why it needed to happen anyway, but if you're going to go for this tragic moment spend more than five minutes on it! Pond's speech and the moment he had during the dance at the wedding broke me. It was devastating. Until the wedding though Pond also just became so unimportant in the show after Don died too which I didn't like. I just think the writers/creators of the show made a huge mistake killing him off. He was my favorite and one of the best, if not the best, character in the show. They deserved so much better.
Overall, it was just not good. It wasn't bad, but not good either. I really would not recommend it to people unless it was to just tell them to watch the Don and Pond storyline and skip everything else. Episode 8 really was a huge downfall for the show.
