Look, maybe I’m just being overdramatic
When I watched the trailer, I thought I’d give it 10 stars. After the first few episodes, I knew I’d give it a 10 because it looked so promising and featured William, Est, both individually and together, plus Barcode and Kin. But then, what happened happened, and no matter how much I love it, I just can't bring myself to give it those 10 stars. Yeah, I’m biased, but can I really be that biased?
All I need are two ambitious idiots falling in love while trying their best not to, and I'm happy. That’s how little it takes. As soon as I saw that this had fake dating/relationship, I was excited to see how it would play out, especially because they’re both so different. Dean and Moth were honestly the perfect pairing. I knew watching these two try to navigate a fake relationship was going to be entertaining and that they would fall in love along the way. And honestly, I just adored them. Their dynamic worked so well, and I loved watching them slowly figure each other out and realize that maybe this fake relationship wasn’t going to stay fake for long. They just made sense together, and I was completely here for it.
So what didn't work?
Everything dragged on for so long, and episode after episode, the same things just kept repeating themselves. In the end, they robbed me of that sweet moment of seeing them truly in love with each other. That’s what I was here for. I was ready for it.
Also, Pun and Ten were so sweet, so different from Dean and Moth, but so… so boring. I’m sorry. I wanted some dynamic between them, but on the other hand, they were the perfect balance and a breath of fresh air.
Don't get me wrong. It wasn’t bad! There were definitely things I enjoyed. Some parts had me invested, and I was genuinely curious about where things were going, but other parts felt a little meh and dragged for me.The atmosphere was probably one of my favorite things, though. I don't know how to explain it. It had this really interesting vibe that kept pulling me back in, even when the story itself wasn’t completely hitting for me. And there were moments where I was like, “Okay wait, NOW we’re getting fluffy and cute.” But I also found myself struggling to stay fully engaged at times. Some things just didn’t land the way I wanted them to.
Overall, an 8-star rating feels fair to me. It's not bad, just not one that completely won me over. I’m glad I gave it a chance, though, and I can definitely see why others might enjoy it more than I did! So, if you're thinking about picking this up, please do.
Oh, right—I almost forgot. The music is great. "Red Flag" made it onto my playlist, and I’ve been singing along to it so often that my neighbors probably hate me.
