Make It Right 2026: Something Just Isn’t Clicking ?
Okay, I’ll be honest: I watched the 2016 Make It Right, and I wasn’t exactly head-over-heels in love with it. But after watching the 2026 adaptation, I’m starting to appreciate the original more because, for me, it was more engaging.
First, I really don’t think the casting is the problem. The new cast is young, good-looking, and I can see the potential. They’re also new to the industry, and most of them are playing teenagers, so obviously there will be some awkwardness. That part I can understand and I’m willing to give them time to grow.
My problem is more with how the scenes are being put together.
Sometimes it feels like the scenes are just being thrown at us randomly. There isn’t always a smooth flow from one scene to another, so I find myself wondering, “Wait, how did we get here?” It just doesn’t feel very cohesive.
There was even a scene where it was supposed to be a weekend, but you could clearly see students in uniforms in the background. Of course, maybe they had special classes or whatever, but little things like that make the whole thing feel a bit messy.
And now we’re already on Episode 4, but I honestly feel like the story is barely moving. It’s starting to feel stagnant and, unfortunately, a little boring. I keep waiting for that moment where things finally pick up, but I’m still waiting.
I’ve also noticed that I don’t see that many edits or clips from this series compared to other shows airing right now. Of course, that doesn’t automatically mean the series is doing badly, but it does make me wonder if other viewers are also struggling to find something that really grabs them.
And there are other ongoing high school series right now that are doing this kind of story really well. So I know the setting itself isn’t the problem. It’s really more about the execution.
Even Love Sick's 2024 adaptation was pretty well received, which shows that older stories can still be remade successfully when the adaptation feels fresh and well put together.
That being said, I genuinely want this series to do well. I feel bad being too harsh because you can tell the cast is putting effort into it. They’re young, they’re still learning, and hopefully they’ll become more comfortable with their characters as the series progresses.
So I’m really hoping the succeeding episodes will pick up because I WANT to like this. I want the cast to succeed, and I want all the effort they’re putting into this to pay off.
For now, though, I have to say… I wasn’t even that obsessed with the 2016 version, but somehow I’m sitting here thinking, “You know what? The original was better.”
Hopefully, Make It Right 2026 proves me wrong in the next few episodes. Please let them peak because I’m still rooting for these kids.
