Fantastic start, unenjoyable finish

It started off so good. I was eating it up. It was toxic but it was supposed to be, great I love to see it that’s fine. I loved the first half or so. Fan Xiao was toxic and manipulative and it made the show really fun to watch, as awful as that sounds, it was fun seeing him worm his way in between Shu Lang and his boyfriend. I even loved when Fan Xiao and Shu Lang got together...at first.

Where the show really started to lose me is when Fan Xiao went from toxic to straight up abusive and a r*pist. I'll watch a toxic relationship all day long, but the second r*pe or assault comes in is where it's enjoyable anymore. I knew I was signing up for toxicity but not abuse so it very much threw me off. There were multiple scenes where Shu Lang clearly didn't want Fan Xiao and was forced to sleep with him or kiss him, and the show just kept throwing in scenes where Fan Xiao “realizes” what he’s doing is wrong and “apologizes” but the way they do it is like they want us as the audience to actually forgive him. Like girl what?? He literally just assaulted Shu Lang. Or they would have scenes where the show is like “No guy's Shu Lang stays because wants to” like GIRL NO HE DOES NOT. Why did we take this turn?? I hate it. Why does toxicity always have to mean SA? It was plenty entertaining and toxic enough before all that.

I hated that they ended up together too. I was really hoping this show would be different and would have it so Shu Lang actually moves on and goes on with his life happily, which he does, and then they ruined it in the last 10 minutes or so but putting them back together.

Like I said, I loved the first half maybe even a bit more of this show. The main two as well as Shu Lang's boyfriend were enjoyable to watch, and I really found the story entertaining. Once they made Fan Xiao turns so possessive that he was abusive is where I really didn't like his character anymore.

As for things I liked
-I loved the chemistry between the main two actors. They did a great job as well as the rest of the cast, but the mc's really stood out to me
-The story was never boring, even when I didn't like where it went, at least it wasn't boring.
-I LOVED seeing Fan Xiao go absolutely broke at the hand of Shu Lang. He deserved it.
-I love that Shu Lang adopted Tian Tian! So cute!
-The first half of the show is what I want when it comes to toxic relationships to watch! It makes it so fun to see!
-I really liked the finale. Even though I didn't want them to end up together and wasn't happy about that, I think the finale was really good.
-The kisses and spicey scenes were pretty good

Overall, I just don't know how to feel about it because I went from being so excited for the next episode to dreading the next one.

The least threatening zombie show ever

This is a zombie show where almost nothing happens. The cast is just way too big for starters. For how many characters there are, almost none of them die. This show didn't have any actual intense moments or moments that kept you on the edge of your seat, and it should since it's a survival show!

Here are some things that take away any intensity
-It only takes place over a couple days, and the water and electricity are on for most of it, so there's already not much to worry about in terms of survival there
-A lot of the zombies are blind, so as long as you're quiet there's no threat there.
-Super easy to kill the zombies
-The zombies still go about their lives as if they're still alive and then all huddle in one area with their leader once a day, so if you avoid those places once again, you're safe.
-The zombies have feelings so if they remember you, you're safe

Some other things I didn't like about it
-Again, just way too many characters
-Almost none of the characters were given any backstory so I didn't care if they died
-For how many characters there were, a very small handful were likeable characters, and even they were just not as stupid or annoying as the rest
-The ending...wth was that ending? It didn't feel like a season finale and felt more like an episode ending. Also, it doing a one-month time skip...don't get me started.
-The group of people who were in the greenhouse were given so little screen time that I forgot they existed until they showed up again.
-Ning. I just hated her and was rooting for her death.
-Way too much explaining and theorizing was happening and way too little action

Some things I liked
-The cast! Loved seeing so many familiar faces
-The blood and effects on the zombies were great
-Had a great opening. I loved that it just threw you right in

I could honestly keep going, especially if I went into more of the characters of the show. This show was just not good. Thai horror and suspense are usually so good, so my expectations were quite high, and this was just severely disappointing. Nothing against any of the actors at all, I think it was just a bad script.

This show is basically p*rn

I hated the main two characters so much. It felt like they were trying to be Boss and Noeul. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but that's the vibe it gave. And it did not work...at all. They were just very unlikable together and apart. I wish we got more time with the B couple because I thought they were more interesting. Though I feel like Yoon needs to work on his acting a little bit because I didn't always feel very much emotion from him. That being said, I enjoyed watching him more than Boat and Oat. The spice in this show was insane. Just straight up p*rn sometimes. I'm here for the spice so I don't mind.

Love that it's over

I absolutely hated this show from start to finish. The only reason I give this a 1.5 instead of a 1 is because of two reasons: the mermaid scenes were actually filmed in the water, and they trained with the tails; and secondly because of the scene in the finale where Phraphai went crazy was actually good.

This show was so terribly bad that I genuinely cannot say enough bad things about it and could go on all day. I'm just going to list the reasons it was awful.

1. All the acting was terrible (except for Phraphai's scene in the finale I previously mentioned)

2. The main leads had 0 chemistry at all. Nava and Phraphai had more chemistry than the other two ever did

3. So many unnecessary characters whose names I couldn't even tell you if I tried. Didn't really need more than the main five to be honest

4. The music,,,whoever did the music for this should never work in music again. That may sound harsh but the abrupt transitions between songs and the music not fitting scenes were just terrible. Someone with garage band could do better.

5. The main couple's relationship was so empty. They never talked about anything. they felt more like friends with benefits because their relationship had no depth at all.

6. Not enough time was spent on Ping and Phana's relationship. This couple could've been quite a likeable and strong couple if they got more than like 30 minutes out of an entire 8 hours spent on them. They should've either had more time or just not been a thing at all.

7. The plot felt pointless especially with how the show ended. I almost wish it ended with a tragedy to make it feel more worth it. I'm not just saying that because I didn't like the show either, I just think it would've made more sense for the plot if one or both of then died in the end or they just didn't end up together.

8. The whole show just felt like nothing was happening the entire time. This was only eight episodes and even that felt way too long.

I could actually keep going but these were definitely my biggest and most consistent complaints.

DO NO WATCH! NOT EVEN A GOOD CRINGE WATCH!
JUST STRAIGHT UP BAD!

Is this a dating show or casting call?

This was really cute, and I really liked all the boys...I just wish we got to see more couple moments rather than all group moments. It started off so well in the first couple episodes. It felt like a dating show, which is what they advertised it as, but then it felt more like they were auditioning to be the next BL couple. Why was there only one solo date throughout the whole show? Like I said I loved all the boys especially Shark and Kong, I just needed more time with just the pairings and less group stuff.

I do like all the couples that ended up together and wish the best for everyone!
