This show is like bland boiled chicken. Had good substance but boring acting, predictable outcomes made it difficult to swallow. Ohh they tried salting it with that senior guy ! Bec a third wheel was definitely needed to make this palatable, but his 10/12 lines couldn't save it either.
The friend out of those 3 had some sort of better range and dynamics than these two seemingly wooden plank MLs.
The finale couldn't live upto the build-up the 7 eps made prior.
The intensity in this drama is so good, so is the tension between the MLs but the proposal scene came out so weirdly, they could have done it in that classroom scene in the beginning of the last ep to make the impact strong but everything felt rushed. They proposed, they chose their career, they cleared miscommunication, friends got to know about them, them becoming adults - everything got piled up in the last 12-15 mins .
This badly needs a season 2.
Also I'd like to forget any scenes where that tutor guy was involved. If you genuinely want to help someone to get back confidence,you don't necessarily need to make sexual advances onto them, specially when one is supposedly an ADULT, and the other is a minor suffering from inferiority complex.
This show felt like a bubblegum that had been chewed for far too long and lost all the taste.
Started out good, felt like was watching a mainstream kdrama, production is nice, acting suitable, even the pacing was also okay but the script just kept going back and forth unnecessarily. So many scenes and blabbering felt useless and the story of the MLs felt sidelined.
I also think the confession and them coming together should have come sooner, atleast in the middle of the last episode and not like the way they did it here, putting everything away for the end. The relationship they showed were only via montages.
It was predictable from the beginning and by the end of ep 8 ,it started to lose the plot, got extremely boring superfast. Not enough substance to hook into a 12 ep drama.
This show treats FirstKhao the same way The cooking crush treated OffGun. These kinda writings don't work for them anymore, they have so much substance,these lackluster scripts really dull them.
Except NC scenes, this and tide of love s2 didn't have anything else to offer.
The intention was good with this with the artistic expression for peaches and stuff but it got lost so soon that the whole storyline ( or the lack thereof) became irrelevant.
The second half of this season feels so disconnected from the former episodes. It feels like random plots were loosely sown just to make another season out of the much loved first season. I don't even remember what happened in the first episode bec that plot doesn't mean anything in the 9 th episode anymore. I'm just happy to know that it's ending.
Believe it or not I have never been able to sit through any of the whole series of ForceBook before. I have dropped every single one of them except this one and only friends. Simply because there're other more interesting characters present to elevate them in these 2.
Stating that,here not so surprisingly they're my least fav couple out of the three. FaifaWine>> YoGun> ArcArm is what my ranking would be and the side characters have taken cake in every segments of the three couples. I loved their friends.
And AuoBoom with that limited time and space created 🔥. Overall was a good watch.
A lot of people in the reviews have claimed this to be some really deep and symbolic series but it's not true. It tries to but it simply ends up being an erotica *orn video. It doesn't convey anything.
The one aspect which I found was really new was the usage of three colours in three of the sessions, black, white and pink. But that's it.
How did the therapy changed the ML? Why did he need therapy? These should have been the whole point of the series. Obviously he'd be comfortable with the therapist to explore the tactics but how did it impact his life in the future,in relationships, those were the things that should have been shown. What we got are multiple questionable Kamasutra positions . It was far from being sensual. Just hardcore s*x.
Idk why certain jbls are so afraid of showing intimacy. I'm not talking about directly kiss grab their partners att but subtle signs of intimacy can be done, specifically when it's revamped for second season.
The leads look like,they want to stay further away from each other. They live together but behaves so weirdly. The kisses are just touching lips, their bodies,hands stiff.
I really admired the first season. This one is getting difficult to swallow.
Ps- I really liked the touching the earrings scene during the photoshoot. 6 eps in , it's the only memorable moment so far.
It's not new that the drama was not well written in the first place or directed tbh but man it looks like they themselves gave up on it by the time it was reaching the finale. So anticlimactic. 😮💨
On a side note I'll rather be a single child than have a brother like Jade. He's a police officer,his brother is in danger from a serial killer, almost gets killed, rounds up in a hospital and all Jade did is unnecessary flirting with Kamin, and almost nothing to actually investigate properly.
I don't know why but Force's face always holds this uninterested expression which kinda dims the fun of the surroundings. In some scenes it work, in most cases it doesn't.

MLs are having conversation about their feelings in a Jbl, they're communicating? That's a new thing for sure.
Also in both, the MLs mutual pining is also beautifully portrayed. Actors did a good job.
Jbls are usually slower but these are really enjoyable. The emotional quotient is really strong in both of these shows.

Never watched quite something like this. 😂😵💫
