Flawed but with some potential
Possible spoilers, but not for everyone
I think other reviewers have hinted that 6 episodes was too short a timescale to tie up the loose threads. I certainly felt that as well.
The comments section suggests that despite the low scores some reviewers have given, the series generated quite a lot of continuing interest. There was obviously something a bit difficult to define that made some people come back episode after episode.
I fully respect the objections some viewers had to Jorn's humiliation of Chain. (Tbh, I could only watch the uncut version) I can completely understand that behaviour of that kind going unchallenged came across as very unsatisfactory.
Having said that, the complex Jorn/Chain relationship was probably the most psychologically interesting aspect of the whole series. It's a shame and a failing in terms of the production that there wasn't time to explore this further, It was fairly obvious that those two were into each other in a big way, but could only express it in a very awkward and negative manner. In contrast, Lin and Ploy managed to resolve the tension between themselves in a much more positive way.
I suppose the cliff hanger ending in Episode 6 might have been dealt with if Episode 7 had appeared. The high school sub plot was yet another example of unresolved plot strands.
