I must commend the writing in this story. As a writer, I tend to look for good/solid writing, remarkable/memorable characters, and flowing scenes. So far, this series is giving me everything, and I am having a ball! I also like that we didn't get the "falling in love at first sight" trope. I'm over that one for now.

Burnout Syndrome Episode 1

Healing isn't free if you're not financially stable. The first episode opens with Jira, who looks like he hasn’t slept since 2020, wandering through life with the raw energy of a man whose soul has been paying rent on his behalf. Jira is an artist suffering burnout from his passion and it leaves him uninspired.His bestie suggests that he goes to this burnout bar to bring back a sense of balance in his life, but how could she have predicted the chaos pot she was throwing him into? Pheem enters the frame like a slick and creepy predator honing in on his pretty prey. He's helpless in Jira's pretty presence but he manages to read Jira's palm and what do you know? His prediction becomes true, but at what cost?Then we have the one, the only, Koh. Mysterious, handsome, and enigmatic with good lighting following him naturally. Koh pops up, and the camera practically screams, “This is the plot now.” Meanwhile, the cinematography looks like it was shot by someone who has very strong opinions about neon and shadows, which is excellent in a setting like this.And the music? The music knows things. It watches the characters make terrible decisions and whispers, “Yes… continue.”By the end, we’re left with two things:1. Jira’s life is about to get dramatically worse with two besties vying for his attention.2. Koh is definitely trouble wrapped in a pretty face, which is, frankly, GMMTV’s favorite wrapping paper.First episode was a solid and cemented 10 for me.

This episode reminded me that friendships are absolutely important and it made me think of my best friend who is always on my mind no matter what. I'm glad Prem's gang made up and how they made Samsi that he is important to them despite not being single anymore.

Off's characterization of Ten has been superb and it all collides into a speeding train in this episode.

This episode was brought to you by the right amount of happiness, angst, heartwrenching, and separation all rolled into a tight bittersweet bun.

Had Ten not wanted to become a doctor, he would've been a best-selling author because the things that he imagines are top author tier and he has enough material to publish his own rom-com story. Wait...

Ten is searching for the familiarity of love, warmth, and comfort. These traits portray what a home is, and Ten is looking for "home", which he finds in Prem's food. In his childhood, he was the happiest when he was with his family, and he's looking to recreate it through cooking. This episode was a little philosophical, looking at it from Ten's POV, but it worked because it came together perfectly with the humor and drama.

One will be forgiven if they stumbled upon a mad man who knows how to blend AI, art and fashion seamlessly and don't know what to do with that information. Meet Koh. He's a super rich insomniac introvert heavily invested in AI and no remorse on taking away someone's job. Not only that he takes their job away, but that person cannot use their skills at another company due to a bunch of heavy disclosures that they've signed. And the best thing? No one has ever seen Koh's real face, so bless Jira for unknowningly stumbling into this world and taking a hit for his new boss.Basically, Koh is the devil and the employees have signed their souls away to him. This episode was just the tip of the iceberg for what's about to come.

Boss lets his feelings hang out in this episode showing that he's more human than android 😂 This is where the tables turn and I'm here for it!

While telling the truth might be scary, that old saying about honesty being the best policy still holds up. Tae had wanted to tell the truth from the beginning where the broken hard drive was concerned, but because of peer pressure, he went along with attempting to fix the company's hard drive without informing his mentors. This episode was dramatic and chaotic and I loved it!

That single interview scene with Baimon mispronouncing Ryan's name is ICONIC!Ryan is so relatable. It brings back memories of when I was a trainee. And he's an introvert, too? Check! I'm in for the long haul.

...I liked it overall. It was unserious and I like that it did not have dragged out unnecessary drama.

Yes, it was, and it was also the return of Pang. Although her little note might have gotten Prem in trouble, I don't see why Ten had to take the note home.

Ten gets a second chance to "save his mother" all over again in the form of Dr. Earn. Overall, the episode was cute and Ten is on his way to healing.

I watch both cut and uncut versions before I make a full comment, but this episode felt like a filler episode. Nonetheless, I enjoyed Prem's chaotic friends.
