Maximalism and the inexperienced love conflict of Gen Zs
Teenagers tend to experiment and are easily swayed by minimal affections, disregarding the red flags. This is a story of four boys who face a complicated yet common discord among their generation. But before anything else, everyone probably knew that the aesthetic approach was the most notable element of the show. It was shown throughout their promotions and the creative set of OSTs. The appeal of colorful designs from accessories to their high-fashion outfits was all pleasing. They reintroduced gel nail art as a new trend, and I even want to try it myself.
Going back to the new gen topic, young people utilize technology and the internet not just to connect with one another but as a new platform to flirt and date. It is fun to witness a relatable scenario such as posting some random story to get the target audience’s attention. Setting up a playlist to add songs to listen to was also entertaining.
Building up the tension was the most explicit emotion I got from watching the series. They know how to spice up things and produce fiery plots. It started from Fou4Mod liking Chian, to Chian liking Bua, to Bua liking Baabin, but Baabin liked Fou4Mod. Then they gave us the cycle of who fell harder, lost the game, and the I-do-everything-to-make-him-jealous EPs.
Fast forward to EP05, it was probably the big pause from the four of them. The closure of the love triangle between Fou4Mod, Chian, and Bua was satisfying. But then, they level up the intensity on that one single video call scene at the end of EP06. They surely love to play with our minds to the point that I am content that no one should end up together at the end.
At the final episode, we got the conclusion for everyone’s story. Baabin and Bua ended up together while Fou4Mod and Chian reconnected. The confrontation scene during the random dance challenge was too perfect. All actors performed their roles so passionately.
Shooting the film through an iPhone was a brave decision for the production to come up with. However, it obviously has its cons. The majority of the shots are long distance, and it feels so draining that they break the 3-second rule when it comes to the duration of each sequence. Nevertheless, the story is so unique and bold that I found myself getting used to the camera setting.
