I was enjoying this show, I truly was. it was a fascinating look following a contract marriage as well as 2 other couples really asking themselves and the audience some great questions about love, relationships, and marriage. what are they? what do they mean? what should they mean?

everyone made mistakes. everyone had their flaws. but overall, you could see everyone had the best of intentions.

until like the last 2 episodes where I feel like the female lead really went off the deep end to further traumatize the male lead even further.

everyone has problems communicating. communicating wanting to get married or not get married. having a baby. having disabled parents. but the male lead so deeply believes himself incapable and unlovable that everyone is better of away from him. safe from him. to abandon him as a way to force his emotions to the surface because you didn’t feel he was expressive enough was CRUEL and could have had serious health repercussions. as it was he almost drank himself to death. not to mention he’s very neurodivergent coded, so his processing of it could’ve been wildly off.

everything was so good and interesting up to that point and it honestly really killed the whole series for me in one go.
