I shall consider it xD

I need season two immediately. Like right now. Like please. It is not a want but a need.

Oh I absolutely didn’t think you were taking a dig at my critical thinking skills - I was just stating that that much is obvious enough just not presented or excited enough.

Also I am very excited to see how the story and characters unfold. Like even though I have issues with the writing, you better believe I am glued to my laptop every Friday lol.

To be honest, I’m not bothered by the issues to. Usually the only thing that could bother me in a show is either writing or acting. The writing here is poor like I said but the acting makes up for it, and so does the chemistry. I just noticed the editing bit but I can’t say I’m too bothered by it or even bothered at all. Also, I actually like the music. Like there is this one instrumental that plays in the background sometimes during romantic moments that I loveee.

Also I agree with you regarding not me but I can’t say much for the gifted cause I never finished the first season and it was long ago that I watched it. I do remember appreciating the “darker” atmosphere and suspense compared to other GMMTV dramas. I don’t know if I still would think that now.

Anyways.. can’t wait for Friday 😂

I completely agree with you. I see all what you mentioned, and I am aware that at the heart of it the uniforms are not the issue because I can use critical thinking. But I just don’t think it was set up well that’s all. They should’ve explored more interesting stuff more deeply in my opinion.

As for the Ayan watching Akk - also agree. That’s why like I said it’s my weakest point cause it could’ve been omitted and the omission won’t make the plot inconsistent. I still personally woulda liked to see a bit of Ayan observing Akk. Also, unrelated but ironically even though things are in a way from Akk’s perspective like you said, I feel like I know Ayan as a person and the motivation behind him way more than Akk. Like I feel like I don’t know Akk as a person truly - below the “prefect” surface. I like that part though. If the writers show us more and more of Akk’s personality and depth in the upcoming episodes, then I’ll have to give them credit for the unfolding of Akk’s character. It would be well done!

YESSS THE EDITING!! The choppy editing hand in hand with the poorish writing makes it worse. I also personally would have loved a darker atmosphere. I expected one with the glimpses of the trailer. Something similar to the gifted (I have yet to finish the gifted though but the atmosphere is immaculate from what I remember).

Also glad to see someone agrees and I am not just picky lol.

So my one (major) issue with the show is the writing. Honestly, I think the writing of the show is not very good, and here are a few examples on why (minor spoilers only unless I specify that it’s a major spoiler):
- The building of the world is poor and ridiculous. I know they are going for a cult-like vibes in the school, but I don’t think that’s done well. It’s like they are telling us: “I swear this school is so cult like. Just take my word for it.” Without actually showing us. I mean maybe they’ll show us later, but I feel like by episode 6 they should’ve done a better job at showing it already.
- The issues the world protestors or whoever are trying to fight are ridiculous?? Like uniforms?? Seriously? Add other issues for god’s sake. Or expand on the homophobia the school members show towards the protestors more. Like there was literally like one scene that showed the homophobia and I was like: “hold on the school is ignoring homophobic behaviour but we are focusing on uniforms instead?” And hell if you’re so set up on the uniform issue, DO A BETTER JOB AT PRESENTING SAID ISSUE. Like maybe show us why uniforms are bad. Convince us. It seems the show does a bad job at the convincing aspect. Like it keeps throwing info at us and goes “just go with it.”
- A lot of the time, it feels like the show is ignoring common sense and easy solutions to amp up the drama. Like why not just call the parents of the protestors? Cause when like the principle guy threatened to call (not even call) the parents, the temporarily behave themselves. Did they do that and I missed it? Even so - why not suspend them? OR HELL EXPELL THEM?? Did the school like hire the so-called curse to do their job for them? Like what’s going on??
- (Major spoiler): there are some inconsistencies in characters in my opinion. This is not as bad as the other points but it still bugs me from time to time. For instance: so Ayan saw Akk taking the car of the break in the very beginning, right? And yet even though he is literally in the school to find out about “how the school deals with those who misbehave”, he confront Akk later than logical imo. Okay I’ll excuse that since maybe he might have believed from the start that someone might be behind Akk. Alright fine. But then, why did he show no signs of “observing” Akk. Like at all. It was always Akk observing Ayan. Were the writers worried that we would figure out Akk is the one bringing the curse back if they showed any glimpses of Ayan observing him? Nah - I feel like it woulda made sense. But idk. This point I keep going back on forth on whether I am the issue or the writing lmao.

I feel like I’ll remember shit I’m forgetting right after I post this (but eh I can always add), but yeah the writing is not the best in my opinion. It’s quite inconsistent and more of telling without showing.

All the above being said though, I will 10000% keep watching. Hell, I look forward to this every wake and it makes my Friday. Why? Because the acting is phenomenal. And the chemistry? Oh the chemistry. I could write novels about how fabulous the chemistry of our leads in this show is. NOVELS PLURAL. Don’t get me started on the kiss. DO NOT. Because I will ramble on about it in tears. The writers did do a great job on that scene I will give them that. But, the actors also have one of the best chemistries on tv in my opinion hands down. So, yeah. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

let me know if you find them, and I will do the same >.<

The instrumental in this show is *chef kiss*. If anyone knows the name or how to find it, please please let me know - I'd appreciate it loads <3

no no no hold on who is involved with suicide :"(? I need to prepare myself to not get too attached (something I do), if you don't mind

I haven't watched a single episode of this show and this comment has me laughing my ass off oml xD Out of curiosity, what did happen? Spoilers are more than okay!

From the preview of episode 4, it seems like that will be the case! *yay*

Oh I am definitely in love with this drama. The wait until tomorrow is already killing me, let alone until next Saturday :(

I tried watching my blues after I watched this one - but I put it on pause for now. This story, to me, is more unique and enjoyable. Even though it is "slow", it is gripping. I am so in love with this story, I am trying to find shows with similar vibes to fill the void until Saturday. I also think you're bound to relate to the characters here - literally never related to a character more. But, that's just. my opinion.

True true I wouldn’t be shocked if it was a lie but I also wouldn’t be shocked if it wasn’t simply because I’ve seen how both characters are quite prideful

I just scrolled down to see your comment and you nailed it! You put my thoughts into words better than I could!

Was I the only one who found it interesting that when Pat was asking Pran about Ink and said "wouldn't you like me", he listed the good things that would make Pran and not Ink like him. I feel like if Pat truly was only thinking about Ink, he woulda said something like, "if you were ink wouldn't you like me. I did this and that for her blah blah". I don't know if I am making sense. But it is quite interesting that he chose to list the reasons Pran would like him. Is he maybe subconsciously (or consciously) showing his desire to be liked by Pran? Thought?

I’m sorry. There is a “whoever falls in love first loses bet”? Was it in the preview or novel or trailer? Regardless I’m excited as fuck for that fluff and heartbreak :”)

Look at Bad Buddy making everyone’s weeks better. Love that for us!

I already need it because the weekly wait is killing me
