The ingredients were there — it just never came together for me
Years of unrequited feelings, one last attempt to get over them, a week of fake dating to force the issue — on paper, that's a setup I should have responded to. And I went in genuinely wanting it to work.
It didn't, at least not for me. The chemistry between the leads never quite built into something I could feel, and the intimate scenes didn't land either. I followed the story without being pulled into it, and by the end I was already halfway to forgetting it. That particular kind of forgettable is hard to pinpoint — nothing went dramatically wrong, it just never sparked.
There are people who will connect with this more than I did, and I don't think it's a bad show. It's just one of those where my personal experience was mostly indifference, which is its own kind of disappointment when the premise had real potential.
