The effortless enjoyment of this series just makes the flaws of "Fourever You" more glaring. I suppose it helps to start off with a believable main couple who have good chemistry.
Everything about this just works, from the casting to the storyline to the directing. So much fun to watch.
The "bonus couple" of Pond and Sand is cute as hell. It looks like Marc might have finally found a compatible BL-mate in Poon. I've liked Poon from the first time I saw him in "Our Days". Their scenes together work so well.
The director is giving us same trauma which To MY Star gave us . She is really cruel .
I hated TMS2 as much as anyone, and wrote a review to prove it, so this director gets no free pass from me ....
However, my main beef with TMS2 is how she totally rewrote a beloved main character and made him into a monster. Here she is starting with a clean slate, and since there are countless dramas out there with heavy angst and situations that strain credulity I'm not going to get worked up over this one. I think we're going to get a happy ending no matter what.
(What would be typical for her, though, would be to bring us a Season 2 of this series and make Sin Ju into a monster.)
Whenever Maxky (Johan) is on screen I think of the wacky character he played in "Why You ... Y Me" and the transformation amazes me every time.
I just love Bas's character in this series -- so much spark. I've never liked the low-energy characters he played before, and I wrongly wrote off those duds as him lacking talent. Now it's clear to me he was underutilized in those roles.
I donβt know. Earth is 27 acting like a 12-year-old. Why would anyone put up with that endless pouting? In fact…
You're saying it better than I could. It's like a comedy of the absurd, these drop-dead handsome MEN (including Junior in Ep 4) fussing over this limp-noodle whining KID who'd get dramatic over a ham sandwich.
Sammy is long overdue for her own romance. She had a taste of one in "Between Us" but sadly that hasn't resulted in a new direction for her career. And even there she was the same madcap girl as always.
I don't give a rat's ass what happens next in this story. I think the team behind this production was counting on the pedigree of its source material to win an audience. They were wrong.

We never got the sight of Pond kissing Nike in "180 Degree Longitude" ... now, THAT kiss would have been one for the BL highlight reel.
