Good story, decent acting but sub-par editing and film production in general
The series had decent pacing and very good story, however, the editing was lacking in so many ways. wayyyy to much silence, lacking in music and music chosen often just didn't fit the scene. more so, they were some sound effects as it fits into the gnre of the series but they just stopped using them?? many scenes would've been improved with jsut some sounds and music.
It's not just that, the way some scenes were filmed was just odd. camera angles didn't suit or it was too zoomed out or not enough angles and shots.
At first i thought if the two mains had better chemistry and everyone had slidhtly better acting series would've been so much better. but then i came to the conclusion while it could've made some eps better, it could NOT in any way carry the lack of good editing and filmography.
It was doomed.
also some scenes oddly felt like low production like what's going on.

that before the last scene on the sofa:
felt like they had good chemistry and it was such a good moment but tell me why thE HELL is the camera zoomed out so much like it's not the time man, you gotta zoom in for that. i get the far away view, i see the vision but it should've been mixed in with some zoomed in shots.
maybe the were working with one camera idk.
would've been better if the whole scene was in closer view in that case.
it was so so so a very promising story but the execution OH BOY. it's not THAT bad but damn like some scenes whew-
for that i cannot recommend re-watching BUT if u haven't watched it and are okay with sub-par editing go for it.
the editing doomed the show. itwas so sad cuz the design team did such a good job for the into just for the editing team to throw it away.
it was consistent it makes me wonder if the editing team got changed mid-way. idk man. just sad. i didn't notice in the earlier eps.
also sadly the chemistry wasn't that great between the two mains also, i feel like the make up on Jane wasn't like, good a lot of the time? idk, i feel like they did her dirty. didn't notice anyone else having make up like that.
lipstick shade was often off and scenes where she's in bed u can see she's in full on make up,, like they could've given her a softer look but alright.
i know i criticize the series a lot but honestly even after all this it was good. the story does carry it. would've given it a 4.5 otherwise but the story carried it fr.
still in the end it turned out to be sub-par. but it had SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
edit:
also there's a lot of random story-lines that got abandoned. last eps was just odd. idk like dynamic shifted a bit but we didn't see it happen.
