If it weren't for Pock, the series would have flopped

Let me make it clear here, if Pock wasn't in the series, I would have dropped it right away. The protagonists are annoying, seven years pass and they still have the mentality of children, anything is a reason for a fight. How irritating! The old (poorly done) cliché of the couple who meet in school, date, and break up for the good of the other. It seems impossible for Kee and Pee to have an adult conversation in the series or to reason like adults. Seriously, a good conversation and this series would have been different. Is it so difficult for two people to make a plan to date long-distance in secret or something like that? Is it so difficult not to tell a secret but to sincerely apologize and ask for a second chance? Everything has a limit, and this series, FOR ME, goes beyond the line of funny and makes jokes about situations that shouldn't be jokes.

But anyway... There's a lot of worse GL out there, it's still a good distraction.

I can't believe we now have NEPHEWS ✪ ω ✪

When I watched the series, I really enjoyed it, and I thought the ending was great. I don't usually watch specials because I think, "If it were important, they would have put it in the series, right?", but then I saw the buzz about this "Endless Special" and decided to watch it, just to see if it was really worth it or if, like many specials, it was just a compilation of scenes that didn't make it into the series because they were deleted or something... HOW WRONG I WAS! If you watched the series Denied Love, then you NEED to watch the 2 special episodes because they are perfect, and they end the series in the best "fairy tale" style. I believe that unlike many specials out there, this one is a MUST-SEE.

I'm rooting for the villain! Wasted potential

They started by deceiving us with the trailer! They made us believe that Arisa would be a race car driver, but unfortunately the problems didn't stop there:
1) Their "love" isn't "believable" because they didn't show them starting to date. They jumped straight to the end. So all the declarations seem like empty words.
2) The scene cuts are often poorly executed; the editing isn't working well.
3) The script is so empty so far that we have no idea who Lyla is because they simply don't "introduce" her to us. We only know that she's the villain's daughter and that she's dating Arisa.

4) They're not managing to balance revenge with romance; it gives the impression that the series wasn't even supposed to be a romance, but at the last minute they decided to change their minds and filmed some scenes on top of it.

5) The pacing of the romance is also completely fantastical, it feels like bad fanfiction, where they want to take the characters to a certain point but don't know how to do it, so they just force a marriage proposal, a gigantic coincidence, a hidden camera, anything that isn't developing a good script.
6) The characters aren't charismatic, they don't have well-developed personalities, they simply threw the characters into the series and said: "Look, you're going to be silly and in love with her, and you're going to be gothic and complicated"... That's all they are. They didn't build the characters with mannerisms or "anything" special. They are just generic characters, the kind we find everywhere.
7) They still haven't explained what revenge Arisa wants to take, or why she wants to do it. The story is short, only 8 episodes, so this should have been shown in episode 1 or 2 so we could understand where the character is going. If they don't do that, we're left confused, and if we don't understand, we can't celebrate her achievements, because how can we celebrate something we don't even understand how it's supposed to be, and how Arisa wants it to be?

Honestly, I'm rooting for the villain to win, defeat Arisa, and for Lyla to find someone decent, because Arisa only lies and uses her.
