a travel ad with a sweet couple hidden inside, read my comment with spoiler for the ending
Overall: I'm not a fan of love triangles and they botched the ending in the uncut version, but it had some natural and sweet moments with a beautiful setting. 8 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on WeTV uncut (ep 1 had a steamy dream sequence) https://wetv.vip/en/play/5fq35scvkivzb61/f4101ahdlpc-EP01%3A_I_Promise_l_Will_Comeback_(Uncut_ver.) and cut https://wetv.vip/en/play/xtdec2zi85eqk1e/l4101wa8qde-EP01A%3A_I_Promise_I_Will_Comeback ; later aired the cut version on YouTube for free https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlEgr3uWfHDkOyqsePjtntPJCvBDl9qxo&si=folb1DJzW3LLZbp7 and the uncut version on YouTube for channel members
Content Warnings: blood, held against will (major content warning, read my comment)
Watch Suggestions (to remove the love triangles and focus on the m/m couple, these are the cut timings)
- skip episode 1 (though uncut has a steamy dream around 37 minutes)
- episode 2 watch part A 7:10-12:30, part B beginning-9:40, part C beginning-2 and 6:15-end (2 minutes less in cut version, seemed to have shortened the shower scene at the end which was fine because it dragged on too long in the uncut)
- episode 3 watch part B 2:25-4:50 and 6:10-9 if you like singing, part C 3:10-5:30 (episode 3 seemed to be the same length)
- episode 4 could watch part A 5:40-6, all of part B, part C beginning-4:30, 13:30-15:50 (uncut watch 5:40-7:20 which was shortened in the cut version)
- episode 5 watch part A 7:40-end, part B 4:10-9:20 and all of part C (uncut watch 24-28:05 which was shortened in the cut version)
- episode 6 watch part A 6:20-8:45, part B beginning-5 and 10-end, part C 2-13:40 (and stop here unless you want to use a box of tissues)
What I Liked
- scenery
- matching each other's goofiness
- sweet and caring moments
- realistic conversations/flirting
- best dream in EP 1 uncut around 37 min
- the uncle and mom
- consent in episode 5
- that the friend confessed and then was respectful
- production value (one of the lead actors Tontae pitched this to 9NAA who rejected it and he went on to produce it himself)
Room For Improvement
- started with a flash forward montage
- multiple love triangles
- the stuff with dog poop
- two bloody noses in episode 2
- continuity errors like tissue in nose and then it vanished in episode 2
- the 3rd wheel woman in episode 3
- comedy sound effects didn't make things funny
- replaying 4 minutes of the end of the last episode at the beginning of the next episode is way too long
- too many flashback montages
- they really messed up the ending in the uncut version, it was just too much to be believable
