Oh, Knot, it is time, my old friend; it’s time to be laid to rest. I already know this review is going to be very long because I have a lot of thoughts, good and bad, so just get ready. If you don’t want to read it all, I would say watch it, but be mindful of he filler bullshit plot between episodes 7-10; it’s kind of annoying. If you want to read, get fucking ready. I would give it an 8.5 (8.4) out of 10, then I am going to rant and rave about what I liked, what I didn’t, and then do a very long episode overview because this show had me spouting a lot of bullshit.

Oh my god, I actually don’t even know where to start lmao. Boat and Oat are back at it again, and we also got two more new couples, so that’s very exciting. I lowkey think they all did a good job. I was cringing; I was in the moment; I was everything, and no matter how questionable the plot got, I will give it to them. They did their big one with this. Just great chemistry overall and acting that brought this show to life, despite everything.

Despite a lot of people not thinking so, I truly think that the start of this show was fantastic. I think it really held up to the expectations set by the trailer in the first episode, and the quality and everything were incredibly high, so good job, Mflow.

Following this, they brought the Omegaverse to life very well. The first thing that comes to mind is the pheromones, or my friend and I call the heat wave (pov arbian nights starts playing in the back, because every time it showed up, I started singing it to my friend). Everyone had their own pheromones, specifically with colors and scents. I feel like they could have just done one color for everyone, but they didn't, and I thought that was a good edit and once again helped to bring this to life in the way that I hoped. I also like how they explained most of the scents, so we as the audience could imagine it as well. Next up for things that brought the omegaverse to life was the rut and heat showcased. I know a lot of those parts were quite cringe, and I would admit that, but that's the whole point of the omegaverse. It's supposed to be cringe; it's supposed to be different, and they really did that well. They showcase the nesting that comes with it, and I overall thought that was really good.

Next up under this category is the showcasing of slick. YES YES YES YES. WHOEVER DECIDED, HEY, WE NEED THAT; YOU DESERVE TO GET YOUR ASS ATE. I understand if people thought that was weird, but that is a really big part of the omegaverse: the slick, so go them. I do think they could have mentioned it a couple more times, but I also understand why they didn't. They were really just trying to get people to keep watching the show at the start, so they were throwing a lot of stuff in. So I can't hate the player; I gotta hate the game, come on now. Related to slick is the knotting, NOW THAT ATE. It is more towards the end, and it happens twice, and Kat and I were GOB SMACKED, MY LORD. Like we think they were going to leave it up for interpretation, but they didn't, and I love them. Really good representation; I liked that a lot.

Finally, for things under this category was marking, the whole thing that started this plot. The bite marks were such a fun addition, and the fact that they faded with time was great, and when they flashed colors, like for our third couple, I loved that. And I will go into this in my next point, but the message with force marking and with that rape. I think they did a really good job having this on a center stage kind of vibe. Overall, just a few of the many good things that helped bring this story to life.

Next thing that I liked. THIS ENTIRE THING WAS A SOCIAL COMMENTARY (hence my headline), and I like how they added that. I mean, that's the whole point of the omegaverse: it's a commentary on the patriarchy and misogyny, and how we only care about issues related to women when they are directed at men. Think about them. I love how they didn't make Phat a fucking breeder. Didn't get him pregnant right away; gave him actual character work instead of just being an omega, just being used as a breeder, as a tool to make this family an enigma, and I loved that. Related to that, Nakhin is the wokest brother, my lord. He fully wants to fall in love with someone because he loves them, not because of their title, but because of actual love. Like, go them- did we overkill that shit? Of course, but who gives a fuck.

Another thing I like is the relationship between Nakhun, Nakhin, and Nabastard. At the start it was very rocky, but as the show continued on, it got better and better, and our favorite bastard realizes that his brothers and their mother always saw him as their own, and I thought that was really sweet, like so sweet. Also, the entire family likes cute guys with brown hair because I'm so gaged. Why are we all dating cute guys who happened to be friends (or were friends...)?

Okay, so I hate the whole plot with Sangnuea, but him being a villain, great edition, love to see it, you know I do. Him coming on to Nakhin to try and get his enigma babies and ending up being marked by Nabastard, CHILLS. THEY LOWKEY DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT, BUT KAT AND I ATE THAT SHIT UP. COME ON NOW. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good; I thought that was done really well. I will rewatch that shit just for that; like, I am not a woker, love that. Actions have consequences; think about that.

For things that I didn’t like, I am really going to try my best not to hate on this show, because thats all people have been doing, but i am also a massive hater so get ready. We know how to drag our fucking feet I swear to god. I am going back to look at my review, but it started in episode 3, and we were dragging our feet and already doing circles, and that's truly one of the worst parts about this show. I wish we wrote out the plot better, so it was less slow burn and less rushed, like we can just spread it out better and not have that problem, but God forbid.

Amira, Amintra, Irrelvantira? GET HER OFF MY SCREEN. Come on now, I thought she was going to be a great villain, but no, she was instead the best friend of Nakhin, and that's fine, but all of her screen time had no purpose at all. Like, truly such a big waste of time for someone that I literally put on the front cover. I'm done.

A lot of characters got faded. And my thing is, why introduce them if they are going to get faded? The guy who owned the cafe with Ongsa, FADED. The random family members of our trio, FADED. Amintra, FADED. Everyone, FADED. That was just poor plot writing that was a waste of time, come on.

And I finally think it's time to address the elephant in the room and probably the worst part of this entire show: the human trafficking plot. Okay, before I start on this crazy rant, I want to say that this whole plotline could have been saved if they brought it up at the start, but because they decided to bring it up at episode 7, more than HALFWAY THROUGH THE SHOW, it failed and brought about the majority of this show's hate. That being said, it was awful. It felt so fucking random, and the fact that Nabastard got faded pretty much the whole show up until this point, I had truly no reason to give not one fuck, not two fuck, not red fuck, not blue fuck, ZERO. And well it did give way to Saegnea and his whole plot line they should have brought it up earlier because it felt random, weird and like a whole bunch of bullshit filler. And this bullshit lasted for almost the rest of the show until, like, episode 10, going into 11. Like my god, we could have written that out better or not written it at all (My notes on it: Good ep until this random ass human trafficking; like, we are pissing me off, and we are all little bitches).

Another thing kind of related to this that I didn't like is we would do absolutely nothing the entire episode and then in the last 5 minutes we would pretend like we are actually going to do something else, but no, NO. WE ARE GOING TO WASTE YOUR DAMN TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO. That was very irritating, and we could have actually done without that.

Whoever decided that we need to have faded edges, I hope you die a slow and painful death; that was actually making me nauseous, my lord. I loved every other special effect besides that one; that was just awful.

Finally, I wish we ended it differently, but I also don't really have any better ideas about what we could have done, but whatever. That pissed me off, silly. I can't even lie. We spent TWELVE FUCKING WEEKS GEARING UP TO THIS SHIT, AND ALL WE WANNA DO IS PLAY IN MY DAMN FACE. I'M SO IRRITATED. We are gonna get a special episode, so I am looking forward to it. I can't wait.

Episode overview, and I will try to make this short. Episode 1: “Family affair. I had no idea all of our couples were in the same family. I'm gagged." Episode 2: “Okay, so for the final five minutes, Bo is going to beat his meat in the bathroom. Why? Why did we do that? No idea, but I am like, oh, they are going to cut it. Oh, they are going to cut it. And they did not cut it, and they kept showing that. He is moaning his name and all that. I am like, what the hell? I am in the airport right now, and I am literally so gagged. Oh my God. Oh my fucking God. Good fucking night.” Episode 5: “Family have a typee. Cute guys with the same shade of brown hair.” “If in the next episode he does not eat him out, I am going to be so mad, bro. I am going to be literally so livid.” Episode 6: “THE DAD’S 39 HELPPPP. Y’all r siblings lmao with oats old ass.” Episode 7: “Nakin, unemployed bitch, go help the ficking company and leave Ongsa alone. Love them mentioning how he’s being seen as a breeding tool. Bring me the bastard brother. HE'S ACTUALLY A BASTARD, MY FRIEND, AND I’VE BEEN JOKING ABOUT THAT. WE HAD NO IDEA. HE WAS ACTUALLY A BASTARD. ALSO LORE ACCURATE THAILAND TRAFFIC LMAO BC HE HAS TIME TO SIT THERE AND CRY, PUT THAT SHIT IN PARK TOO.” Episode 8: “HOW DO WE SPELL BULLSHIT? OH WAIT I KNOW, IT'S KNOT BITCH THAT'S HOW WE SPELL IT BITCH. I AM LITERALLY PISSED RIGHT NOW. Hey, so we aren't going to do anything for 51 minutes and then pretend like we are gonna do stuff next episode, but in actuality WE AREN'T. Come on y'all, lock in; I want omegaverse, not human trafficking and land BS.” “ALSO IF SANGNUEA, WHATEVER THE BITCH, ISN'T EVIL, I'M BLOWING MFLOW, PLS PERFECT OPPORTUNITY. ME AND KAT ARE WAITING FOR NAPITCH TO GET DRUGGED, #NEVERFORGET.” Episode 9: “Saying beta with a hard r.” Episode 19. “HOW DO WE HAVE A TIE? But no phone charger? We dumb. We are going to have the camera angle in a weird angle so we can't tell our main villain is like 5’4. Everything he says sounds so seductive, so I can’t take anything seriously. OH FUCK. Me and Kat aren't woke; we are eating the mark shit up. Napitch didn’t fully realize what he did because he was scared, but I HATE THAT SHIT UP. The whole family yearnssss. I'm gagged. Let's make some babies, please and thank you. Welp, there we go. He loves Nakun so much and Nakun the same.” Episode 11: "We got a mega happy ending incoming and we probably gonna have like 16 kids between the three of us and to that I saw hell yeah." Episode 12: "Nakin doesn't see color lmao." "ALSO NAKIN BLAMING IT ON THE BOOGIE WITH THESE PANTS?" "THE WHOLE FAMILY HAS THE BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE PANTS. DOWN BLAME IT ON THE WHAT?"

And that is the end of this beautiful show. I really wish it lived up to these expectations, but whatever. Would I recommend? Yes and no: yes because it's omegaverse, and no because it's questionable and has majority filler. Okay bye!
