The series went in a different direction than the original novel.
I watched GagaOOLala.
I forgive the filmmakers for the opening episodes. They were very toxic and the main characters were “red flags” in themselves. James plays Jimmy so well that most viewers started to “hate” him. Kad’s Toh was so naive, innocent, blinded that you wanted to shake him and scream at him!
The last episodes were a big disappointment for me. They edited the original novel and did more harm than good. They put Toh and Freeze together. They both came out of that relationship as the two biggest idiots. Toh and Jimmy? Just whining, crying, drowning in alcohol, no proper communication, which led to more misunderstandings. Teek and Fah were good only as an addition to NC for the audience’s pleasure, their interference annoyed me. Happy ending thanks to matchmakers? All forgiven, jump into sex? What the hell is that!
I recommend reading the original novel, where Toh has wised up and matured. Where Jimmy will suffer, he will get a chance to change and win back his love without intimacy and kisses. If they had ended the series like this, the ratings would definitely have been higher
