Entertaining and big on laughs but ultimately falls short of emotional payoff and feels shallow!

The series had me on quite the rollercoaster. It started off feeling a bit cringey with its over-the-top comedy, but as it went on I started to appreciate the depth it brought to its characters. The middle episodes really stood out for me with some strong emotional moments and character development especially Heng's. I could see the growth in the characters overall and their struggles, which made me invested in their journeys.

But honestly, the last two episodes completely threw me off. Instead of wrapping things up with the deep, meaningful conversations the drama had been building towards, it just fell into all these tired, unnecessary tropes. The characters barely talked things out or solved their issues in any satisfying way. It just felt like the show took a huge step backwards, totally undoing all the emotional depth and character development it had built up before. It was like they just threw everything out the window for the shallow plot twists which was really disappointing after all the character growth we had witnessed.

Characters :

Heng : Heng started off as immature, impulsive, and just living his best “I’m clueless and don’t care” life. But as the series progressed, he actually began to show some heart. He started to open up, deal with his emotions, and work on his issues. From being completely oblivious to actually getting his act together, Heng went through some solid character development. However, after all that, the drama essentially hit the reset button on his progress, which was incredibly frustrating for me. I was left wondering if any of his growth had even mattered.

Mo : Honestly, Mo could have been so much more. He was that guy who was all about the feelings but never said anything at the right time. He had so much going on, so many layers as a character, but when it came to Heng, he just shut down. He could talk to everyone else about his problems, but with Heng? No. It was frustrating because I knew he cared, but he just wouldn’t open up. Instead of dealing with things, he stayed stuck in this awkward back-and-forth of distancing himself without properly explaining, followed by a sudden epiphany where he would just say sorry and everything would be forgotten. It held him back from actually growing in their relationship or fixing anything. For me, he was all about missed chances and staying quiet when it counted.

Boss : He plays an important role in the love triangle that complicates Heng and Mo’s relationship. At times, he adds humor to the story and his support for Heng though sometimes misplaced brings a sense of warmth. It’s clear that the boss genuinely cares for Heng and his courage in standing up for Heng when needed makes him likable, though it's evident that his relationship with Heng isn't meant to be the final outcome.

Acting & Chemistry:

The chemistry between Mo and Heng was so obvious, but it honestly felt like we should have gotten more of them as a couple. Instead of diving deeper into their dynamic, the story introduced new arcs and characters that distracted from their relationship.  They definitely had a connection, but it was kind of on and off, there one moment, gone the next. It felt like there was so much more potential to explore and it would have been nice to see their relationship get more attention.

I always thought it was Heng who took the extra step, gave the benefit of the doubt, and actually did the "talking," while Mo never did. Throughout the series, Heng was labeled as someone oblivious to others' feelings, but I found him to be surprisingly considerate when it really mattered.
I will not lie , at one point I was hoping Boss and Heng should have been the end game considering how much effort he put for Heng and how communicative Boss was throughout in comparison to Mo.

In my opinion, Earth and Mix did a pretty solid job and their acting (almost) single-handedly saved the show from sinking due to some very questionable writing. Earth has great comedic timing and made the most of what he was given. The supporting cast did well too, though there were moments that felt a little too extra for my liking. There were also some unexpected cameos that genuinely caught me by surprise.

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the series overall. It was lighthearted and entertaining, providing plenty of funny moments. However, there was nothing to really hit home about. It lacked a deeper emotional impact or lasting significance.
I would recommend it if you are earth and mix's fan or want to watch something light in between of heavy watches.
