First TayNew drama!
Believe it or not, Polcasan actually brings me to get to know TayNew and later makes me want to try and watch their series. Lol. Polcasan’s cute antics kept on bugging me on my IG’s timeline out of nowhere, and as i kept on watching them, more and more of San’s video coming up on my timeline. Lol. Then I get to watch how san interacts with his phorphor and papa, leading me to get to know both Tay and New (gosh, New is so gorgeous!). I enjoyed watching them bickering on shows and thought I should give their series a chance.
Ok. Back to the story. Like I said, this is my first series of them (tried Peaceful Property at first, but since I was fooling around trying to find a series to watch at 3am, I dont think trying to watch Peaceful Property was wise lollll). Watched this until halfway around 6 episodes, but I felt so stressed at first. Lol. Pete’s character seems to be portrayed as such a red flag to me I was curious how the hell Kao fell for him in the first place. Lol. Then I went around to previous instalment in the Kiss series and watched the PeteKao compilation. After watching them there, now at least I get to know more about Pete, even though his possessiveness sometimes still bothers me a lil bit. Lol. Tbh, I felt they did Kao quite dirty in DBK, I love how Kao seems to be more firm and standing up to Pete in Kiss, but it seems that in DBK, he was mellowed down to a point of damsel in distress most of the time. I missed how he can punch Pete around for being such an asshole in Kiss, but when things go south in DBK, Kao was just moping and helpless. I truly love them together, but in those aspect, i truly abhors Kao’s helplessness tbh.
Secondly, i felt like they gave too much screentime and character development to the second couple MorkSun that it seems sometimes, all the story line that PeteKao has is the tutoringlying part. I sincerely hate the Non character (lol. He really tested my patience) and I felt like, the Non character should have not become such an important nemesis to someone with Pete’s standing. I mean, should someone who is almost old enough to be working in real world needs to fight with a mere high school boy to that extend? The plot should be more convincing (at least make the love nemesis someone who is more convincing than a kid). Also, there is a matter of continuity issues between the story in previous instalment wasnt being brought around in DBK which left me confused a bit sometimes (for example, their friends not knowing about their status when previously they are already out-ed, and the fact that Kao’s family seems to be much downgraded i.e poorer than i seemed to remember it from before)
The opening sequence is giving me a soap opera vibe, always led me thinking of wives and their husbands’ scandal pulling each others hairs and end up crying in a corner. Lol. Reminds me of that Korea’s dramas that one time (i think it was Temptation of Wives or something?) but it was well shoot, and even though it was too sophisticated for the story’s plot, i applaud their creativity. Lol.
Overall, despite all that, i quite enjoyed the whole series, helps me to have a break of watching chinese long dramas and hopefully the next one I picked up of TayNew would be better
