Tharr

So. The idea might be interesting, yes, but the execution...... Well, a lot of plot contrivances going on. I really "love" it when people can't speak a full sentence without interruptions or getting cold feet. And then they don't wanna listen to each other, don't wanna talk it out. This cringy, forced drama is always "the best". And yes, I'm talking about that lousy episode 8 (also leaking into episode 9, obviously). The last episode was dumb with the "plot twist", and the so-called endings to different stories. I was going "c'mon, just end already" since mid episode. Not that the other episodes are so much better. And the logic.... Geez, the logic... Its like the screenwriter forgot what he wrote earlier. Aka, plot hole.
Yes, there are some good things around, like the chemistry between actors, the acting (beside some meh moments, like her trying to be sad/crying, it was pretty good for all of them), some of the (silly) funny parts (like in ep 10: "if you don't mind me asking, which high school did you go to?"), but thats it. Ok, maybe some of the soundtrack too. But the directing is bleh, the cinematography is ok only if the scene really needs it to be. The pacing is a little weird, sometimes going full power for no real reason. But the worst parts are all about the script. Plot holes, plot contrivances, some subplots that make you think there are more things going on but actually they are a dead-end. And so on, and so on, and so on.
So. It started kinda ok, but it turned more meh along the way. I'm rating it a 4 just for the acting, some landscape shots and some food stuff (I was hoping for more details about recipes, but... oh well...). Return value? I don't think so.
Have a lovely evening.
