Incognito

Look started with a bang and not going to sugar coat it, it had a ton of weaknesses. A lot of things that didn't work for me personally, the fact that next to YinWar I got so attached to Hope and Save , and there were times when you will be screaming YOU HURT MY BABY PLEASE JUST TAKE ME BACK TO HIM FFS and then you'll get some crumbs at some point that were never quite satisfying but hey, I figured it was because of the length of the season being only 12.

The second thing was at times the writing is weak and other times it's good and most side characters , not all but most, if you get attached, the characterization was weak.

Even Carbon's character should have been a lot more frequent because it was chaotic and entertaining like Hope.

Look, who doesn't love yet another iteration of their favorite established couple?

It's YinWar , they have chemistry! And I waited so long after being left with some major proverbial blue balls when that video of them came out that gets you excited holy shit YinWar are going to be in this crime fiction bl! Just to realize it's was merely a promotion for their concert.

And then this happened at long last, and yes it's natural to have high expectations.

I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers, slow burn, crime fiction, all of it!

But my main issue with this particular story was that at the very least one of them should have been proper 'bad' especially Jack, because that whole thing where he's actually trying to help people afflicted by Boss, instead of actually being a loan shark made his character weak because it was just Joke's character then who started fucking up. But even his character for the most part remains the same good vs evil thing.

Another thing that wasn't working for me, the whole school thing. It would have been okay if it was just something they did sparingly but they didn't.

So I m seeing a lot of divided opinions about the special episode, which I'm just going to tell you this: you want something cutesy with YinWar don't watch the special and stay delulu for as long as possible. I didn't and now I'm fucking suffering. Anyway jokes apart for me personally, holy shit, it was damn dark and SO MUCH ANGST! Freaking loved it.

Also I felt bad for Boss's son too even though he was spoiled and awful to Joke and the rest along with Hope, I didn't mind so much, though again his character is weak still I got into it and feel bad about all the bullying he received even from the friends.

I didn't ship him with tattoo. Just again weakly written characters.

What I did like the whole games bit and the loan shark arc because half the time it's a bunch of hot people doing some pretty decent action, getting severely beat up, or crying. Angst and hot people getting bloody. Is my jam.
And the fact that it goes from dark and angst to crack levels of comedy. Love all the cutesy wholesome stuff . These folks even nailed the sound track.

Also the whole arc with Grandma, and even Joke's family and his father, loved it! Angsty but goodie.

And now for my opinion on the special episode which I'm just going to call finale.

I was HEARTBROKEN.

I just had a bad feeling when Nang gave the predictions about them being fated and when Joke said something like no matter what happens and where I end up, I will find my way back to you. I knew that was sus ! I was fucking terrified.

The MOMENT Carbon and the casino folks started beating the shit out of the friends, I knew it. Knew what would follow when Carbon practically pulls joke away and by then I was already crying and then he takes Joke near the water and I knew something was going down and as expected.

I knew it would happen and still a veteran like me I was crying .

Just gets worse from there.

Just watching Jack just suffering was damn so painful to watch and experience.

The way he got so fucking delusional it breaks your heart.

And then even I have no idea what the post credit scene even made me feel tbh.

I just remember screaming and additional tears.

That is all.
