Could have been good
I marked this as spoilers, but jic, there are spoilers ahead.This show had potential but ep8 crushed the whole thing for me. The secondary couple was by far my favorite part of the show and ending them the way the did was basically criminal. Using Don as cheap motivation to give the main couple a kick in the butt was so trash I can't believe it. Literally a near death or Don in the hospital sequence could have been a sufficient reality check for Akin, but no. They had to ruin the best part of the show. I never really reinvested after ep8 though I did finish it. The wedding scene with Don was also crushing, and just so unnecessary. The second couple had real problems that they were actively working through to be better, but their story got cut short for the sake of pushing the main couple to realize that all their "problems" were literally in Akin's head. They were so boring because we basically knew from very early that Than did nothing, so watching him pointlessly chase a non-communicating idiot was so tiring. Gym bro was a better option by far, so struggling through the rest of that story without PondDon to break it up was just awful. Also, again, lazy and cheap story mechanic with no respect to Don's character or their raletionship, which had sooo much promise. And no, the special ep did not make up for the trauma of ep8.
