Don't get me wrong, the series was not awfully bad but it did lack something for me to feel invested rather than just passively wait for its conclusion. That's a bit of a shame because the chemistry was crazy good and the beginning had me on my toes with the way both main characters were red flags but at the antipode of each other, social butterfly and standoffish moth.

The main characters were so different and the complementarity and the sparks were so good at first, however the main relationship evolution felt too much like "two steps forwards, three steps backward", with a lot of stalling...And then a feeling of rushing the progress and wrapping up with a lack of care in the latest part. The secondary relationship pacing was very different but not better : a lot of stalling and frustration, followed by a quick wrap up.

Overall, the cast did a good job at portraying the characters but they were not helped by the script, which missed the mark in terms of emotional payoff because of all the stalling and last minutes obstacles, poorly handled in a way that denied most of the "growth" part of the main couple.

I would not recommend this to people as I felt more and more disinvested as the series progressed. It started well though and I cannot deny that William and Est are adorable together and have a good chemistry. I also enjoyed the artistic questioning that was part of the story but the frustrating path and back and forth in the main relationship as well as the first part of the secondary relationship with the constant stalling, really annoyed me.
