I had high hopes when I first saw previews. Middle age couple at second chance love, check. Children involved (sort of like Five is Enough that I really liked), check. Cast are pretty well known, check. Alas, mid point now and it’s not connecting. I feel like it’s all over the place. It’s confusing who the main cast are. It doesn’t feel like it’s the leads. They have less screen time than everyone else that are supporting. Even if it’s the others, it’s confusing what the central plot is of those characters. At least to me, there isn’t substance as to what they want to relay of those characters. Example are the in-laws of the male lead. So much time on them yet???? Then female leads ex and his wife have so much screen time yet, it’s going in circles and they’re more of annoyance than bringing meaning to story. Trouble lies in the writing that lacks depth.

As for the leads, disappointingly underwhelming. FL is overly cute, smart, independent, yet fails to effectively draw me in to her character. ML is, well…..flat out boring. His voice, his actions, his life, has no command. He asks for cheek kisses and when she gives him one, it’s like middle schoolers who are just experiencing love for the first time. Eh, judge for yourself. I may totally be off according to you.

Mind you all this can have a total turnaround in next half. Currently though I’m just not feeling it. I will see it to the end and hope writer and directors gives this great cast some justice to finish strong.
