A sweet summer ride with a dash of drama!
7.7/10
Positives :
✅ All the cast members were sweet, supportive and adorable. There wasn’t a single "extremely problem child" in the bunch, which made the overall atmosphere and vibe genuinely heartwarming.
✅ For me this was a unique and refreshing concept. The idea of living together to find a BL partner for a drama role was completely new to me and I really enjoyed it. It felt like a fresh twist on the usual reality show format.
✅ The panelists "The Aunty Squad" were over-the-top in the best way. They were funny, dramatic and very engaging throughout. Their silly commentary here and there added an extra layer of entertainment to the episodes.
Negatives:
❌ I did not enjoy over-the-Top drama towards the end. While the first 10 episodes felt genuine, the drama and sudden twists in the final two episodes came off as a bit too much. It somewhat disrupted the otherwise vibe of the show.
❌ I think I would have enjoyed this more if it had been an 8 or 10-episode series. Some parts felt a bit slow and dragged on.
❌ Now this might just be my problem but Poom deserved more panel love. It often felt like the panel forgot about Poom, especially when he was waiting for translations in the early 5-6 episodes. I wish they had given him a few extra seconds to catch up. It occasionally felt like he was watching the show alone. That said, it was nice to see him interact more with the squad by the end.
Overall, this was a creative and enjoyable ride for the most parts with likable casts and a fresh concept. Despite a slightly rocky finish, the journey was full of warm moments and making it worth a one time watch.
