Why rating is so low? I was planning to watch this, but guess I will wait.
I never trust the ratings, my tastes seen to be wildly different than MDL. Also the show just started yesterday and there is so much airing, most people don't know it exists yet.
Ok....I have completed this series and it is average. The acting isn't the best but I do not recognize these faces…
Most of the actors are rookies, but Kad who plays Pat has been in a bunch of things. I know him from Gen Y, which was a mess of a show. Maybe he just isn't given good direction.
I'm only on episode 5 and I'm convinced Elyes is secretly a vampire and he doesn't want Pat to leave cause he sired him. Why else are these two so damn pale?! Every day scene they are the palest people I've ever seen and it's not just makeup. When the other characters were saying Elyes & Pat doesn't look good, were they sick, I'm trying to figure out how you could tell they both always look like that! The only time we see their actual skin tone is at night. Not even Kim or the new assistant are that pale.
I enjoyed watching the show while it was airing, I looked forward to each episode. But I couldn't stop comparing it. I almost wanted to do a side by side comparison at times. Some changes I adored (car vs bathroom stall, Arashi being the lone hero). The race track being in the middle of no where was the best change, I never understood the logistics of closing down a whole highway. I really like Nagumo Shoma (Arashi). I loved Nagatsuma Reo as Kai, he was really good at holding hidden pain in his facial expressions. Overall I'm rating it a 7, as an adaptation it wasn't great, but I really enjoyed the show and in the end that's all that matters.
I love that everyone is ride or die for North & Johan, but I'm still not even sure they have chemistry. They have so little screen time and most of it is spent with Johan bullying North that I'm so confused as to why Ter is shipping them.
I guess I'll need to read the book, cause if the other couples are this bad, I won't watch season 2.
But also these 2 writers both worked on We Are, which I thought was a masterpiece in handling multiple couples. I know the episode numbers are different, but every time the friends are on screen I've completely forgotten who they are.
Oh boy this show. I'm so disappointed I think I watched a third of the finale, I kept fast forwarding through so much. First they should have picked a storyline cause they did not pull off mixing the mythical & modern day storylines. I still don't think I know what the naga storyline was actually about. I prefered Sam & Yo over Lin & Sun. Mos & Bank deserve so much better than this.
My only complaint is it should have been longer (at least 2 more episodes). I would have loved to see the second half of Moo being a pop star be dragged out a bit more and then to see the couples lives juggling personal and professional lives. They could have had a whole episode showing the struggle of maintaining both and how the industry and fans react to their lack of dating bans. It could have been a social commentary about shipping and forcing idols to not date.

Once the stalking was revealed, I realised that I'm only still watching because I adore Boss' acting.
