A Great Buildup to Disappointment
I don’t usually write reviews but I’m super conflicted because this was a great series. Acting, humour, effects, soundtrack were all good but the story/plot really threw me off towards the end and I’m just disappointed and dissatisfied. I’m disappointed in the Judy/Tae x Ba Mhee storyline and I’m also disappointed in the cop-out there was in Jane x Ryan’s storyline.
I think series developers need to know that you can just let couples be together without doing the ‘long distance/one partner leaves or cheats’ trope. I just can’t stress enough how dissatisfied I am by the plot choices! I feel like the last few episodes completely erased all the character development and buildup we saw in the first 9 episodes. It kind of just left me with the feeling of: “so then what was the point of any of it?”
Initially I was going to give the series an 8.5, but the last few episodes ruined it. I feel bad giving the series a lesser rating considering OffGun were spectacular and got me really invested in JaneRyan before things were ruined, I was really invested in JudyBaMhee and their actresses did an amazing job, and the series made me laugh so many times. However, I just don’t think I would ever watch the series again to avoid future disappointment. The majority of the series was good, but I think the letdown at the end wasn’t worth it.
