A fantastic show that lacked some plot but in a good way fr fr
A phenomenal show, I can’t even lie. The plot gets boring in the middle, but then it picks back up for a fantastic ending. I would give it an 8.85, so a 9 out of 10. So I am gonna say what I like, what I didn't, and then an overall view.
What I liked. The story and the plot. I love the fake dating trope more than anything. I can’t even lie, it's so good, but it is always done fucking terribly, but they stuck THEIR FOOT INTO THIS. The setup was great, with the car crash and the mind-reading, it was all so good. Speaking of the mind-reading, I think that was great. Having something that can stop the mind reading, it holds them back, and then the fact that it's genetic. GREAT. Also amazing chemistry from BigPark. Like they always have good chemistry, like in their TikToks and monster next door, but THIS WAS A NEW LEVEL. I don't know what training they did, but this was great. You can feel it from the start, and it's not too much or doesn't seem fake. I also liked the characters; besides Apos' brother, he made me so angry, I can't lie. I think everyone did a good job and really brought the show to life. Their sex scenes! Those were GAS. Oh my lord, especially with the mind-reading shit, I fear I am gonna need a special episode just for them doing that shit because that was crazyyyyyy. Especially at the endddd holy fuckkkk. It was the best thing ever. While I think our side couple had some flaws, they were still great with their awkward kissing. THE PARENTS. I love how they flipped from who was hating and who wasn't, because genuinely, that was so real. The dads' breakdown bit was also really good, and I enjoyed it a lot, I can't lie. The way it all came crashing down right when they were gonna get their happy ending felt so good, and I don't know why. Their loveless arranged marriage also broke me, oh my god, that was so real, and that's why the mom was so scared, because that's what happened to her. And the dad, just the thought of losing this woman he has grown to love broke him, and I love that. Another thing I liked was our villain, of course, not the way his story ended, that was bad, but all of his build-up, it was so fucking perfect I can't. The fact that he may have loved ya at one point, but the love was gone now, and all he wanted was money was FANTASTIC, and my husband did a great job with that. The happy facade slowly cracking off into this literal killing machine. THE REAL APO. Great acting on Parks' part because that felt like genuinely two different people, and he has genuinely gotten so much better at acting, so phenomenal job. Also, real apo character work was GREAT. Of course, he's still him, but he's changed, for someone that he actually loves beyond the superficial, just like Thorn loves Ya (Also, as I am rereading my review, I just realized they call him Ya because his name is SuriYA. I am so dumb). Very cute. I wish they had gone into that more, but then again, not his story lol. I think that might be it. The pacing at the end, I really enjoyed it, didn’t feel rushed. It felt genuine, like oh, it’s very suspenseful and very like oh my God, what’s gonna happen next, and I liked that. Also, something about this show was fucking addictive because I finished it on time, and I watched each episode every day it came out, besides the 9th one, because we had finals, but this had me sold.
Starting off with what I didn’t like. The plot towards the middle, specifically around the theme park part, felt like a very bad filler episode, and that kind of made me mad. Like, I feel like we could have put some more lore hinting that Yi was the evil guy, but no, we wanna go the fuck ass theme park, oh my lord, don't piss me off. Another thing I didn’t like was the side couple and their placement. It felt very random, and I can't lie that dynamic pissed me off towards the middle because he obviously fucking likes you, what's your problem? That felt like a waste of time and lowkey made me mad. I wish they did more with the real apo at the end. Like, I wish they showed him with his lover, showing that he actually moved on and not just saying that, but yeah, just a little bit more with that would’ve been good. I can't think of anything else right now, but there might be more. OH YES I CAN. The ending for our villain, terribly fucking way to go out. I hate that after all that, he died in a car accident. We should have had a final stand-off, or done something where he rots in jail and doesn't get let off easy. That just made me angry. Okay, that's it.
Overall time, I actually watched this show as it came out, so I am proud of myself. Okay, starting off this show was very embarrassing, lmao, and I was so happy to see BigPark again because they have such good chemistry, and I love them. Also, Keng and Namping cameo...I was very obsessed with this show and writing one sentence reviews lmao. I loved how Thaila was in love with him in this world, and then he was in love with him in the other world, very cute parallel. THE MIND READING SHIT GOT SO FREAKY SO FAST, AND I FUCKING LOVED IT. I love it when they put Big's hair down; he looks so fucking hot like that. "That's freaky on g. OH HELL NO. SURIYA GO HANDLE THIS BITCH." Idk what I was yapping about, but this is so funny lmao. They started to get really good at kissing lmao. Episode 6 was when their dynamic changed, and the show just started to get better. I like how they connect to the two worlds, very interesting. As the show started to end, we got more lore and background, and I enjoyed that. The more lore we got with the parents and everyone, just made the show so much better, I can't even lie. A great way to end off a fantastic fucking show.
I would recommend this 100 percent. I think while the plot gets a little boring towards the middle, it picks back up, and this is a fun and cute watch. Okay bye!
