Better than I expected
I originally started this for faifawine because of all the edits I saw and lowk got fomo, then I found out that it was an anthology with three couples. Faifawine’s story happened to be in the last few episodes so it was inevitable for me to watch from the start (I can’t start a show without starting from the beginning). I found myself laughing from episode one and I love humor, I love things that make me laugh so this was a huge factor for why I’m rating it what I’m rating it. I loved JJ’s character. I’m not the biggest fan of angst so Perthsanta’s story was not my favourite but I’m not going to completely dismiss it because they were really cute imo. But I also couldn't really forget when Yotha kissed P'Wa, it just didn't sit right with me. Personally, Arcarm’s story is not talked about enough!!! I found them really cute, this was one of the first shows I watched with Forcebook and I didn’t really have high expectations because I saw people diss them all the time. I was so wrong, I love Arc and Arm. Arc’s character (imo) was so yearner coded, I loved it. Their acting was better than I expected too. I’m still pretty new to BL and I’ve only started watching BL September 25’ so I didn’t really know much about all the cp’s in P10L. I judged Forcebook too quickly and thought they weren’t going to be good. (Shouldn’t really trust what people say online, sorry Forcebook!) And, I gotta give credits to Junior’s acting. His acting was so seamless I genuinely forgot he was acting, made me feel like I was just watching a weird kid from school, not an actor doing their job. I’m pretty sure everyone’s said this, I loved Faifa. With the people pleaser in me, he was so relatable. And he was such a green flag!!!I saw someone say that there wasn’t really a plot and that’s why they didn’t really like it. I’d have to agree on that, there wasn’t really a solid plot which did kinda make me question why I even bothered watching it. But then also, I’m not the type to critique on stuff like that so I just ended up not caring. Like I said, I started this to see Faifawine, so it didn’t really affect my rating.
Also when I saw that it was 24 episodes and not the normal 10/12 you’d see other shows have, it just completely threw me off. I’m not a big fan of long shows, and I also didn’t really know the main cp’s that well to want to continue watching so I did end up stopping after ep 9 where Arcarm’s story was basically complete. It was also the beginning that had me so confused because in ep 1, Arc and Arm were already together and so were Yotha and Gun so I was like, what??? I did end up stopping a few times because I just didn’t get it. And now looking back I don’t know why I thought to even continue it because I’m not a big fan of complicated storylines or shows where the centre of the story is based on a flashback from the past (if that makes sense???) I’m not sure how to word it but I thought that was how it was gonna be so I got kinda disinterested. I’m glad I continued it, though!
Again, opinion-based, I loved it but that doesn't mean everyone else will.
