A Beautiful Sunday Addition
I rarely write reviews for a show that's still ongoing but 3 episodes in and I felt compelled to do so.
I had no expectations coming into this show. When I watched the mock trailer for this in the lineup, I expected something entirely different. But I was determined that regardless, I will watch it for Sea and Keen. I saw a lot of folks comparing it to previously released shows and assumed many things which I find not true in the final output. This show, so far, is very good in its own right.
The main couple, J and Jinn are adorable. They are chaotic and funny and act exactly as one does in their youth. From the very beginning, I had always thought that they don't really hate each other at all, but because they have fallen into this cycle of fights and competition, they might have found it difficult to see themselves otherwise. The way they built that up until this 3rd episode is deliciously good.
The second couple are just as complicated but their approach is different. They don't force it and they don't try to be anything other than what they are. And because they are the way that they are, the blurred line between them is not acknowledged. It's something you'd understand when watching, and the two actors who play the roles really exhibit a good understanding of this.
And not to mention, the rest of the cast and characters have their own distinct personalities which are consistent, makes sense, and a whole lot of fun.
I am so glad that Sea and Keen have this show up their sleeves. Not only did they improve in their craft, their chemistry is stronger too and it makes this show all better. I feel good and optimistic about where this show is, and I only hope that it continues to be well thought out and consistent!
