This show does not get better
I've decided to drop this show after 8 episodes. I know I'm almost there to the finish line but I can't keep watching this slop, which is so crazy cause I've never said that about an OffGun show before.
The writing for the show is really where the issues stem from. The acting and even direction have been fine as always. But firstly let's talk about the characters. Koh is such a bad character, not only because he has a bad personality, but his thoughts and actions make no sense and his backstory doesn't justify the way he acts. And Jira is also frustrating because he genuinely doesn't want better for himself and feels tied down to any situation he's in, like being poor and having to work for Koh. He acts like he doesn't have a choice in his OWN LIFE. His character also doesn't know how to set and enforce boundaries and it's just so pathetic. I've seen people say Pheem is toxic but he's really not, his only "toxic" thing is believing Jira will fully accept him only after he's had s*x with him, which shows to be true from Jira's actions. Also he's just as obsessed with Jira but he at least doesn't act entitled to him, his time, and body like Koh.
The romance in the show is bad for the obviously leading couple. The only "romance" between Koh and Jira is Koh being needy (which is so unattractive because he acts like a kid/brat and is so entitled after being such an 🍑 to Jira) and Jira obviously not wanting to like him but liking him. But that's not romance, that's just the situation at hand. There is nothing showing me that yeah they really should be together and is the better pair. This show does not make my heart flutter, it only did that at first with Pheem and Jira cause they have the better chemistry and story. until Jira messed everything up. I think Pheem genuinely deserves better. This show would have been so much better if Dew and Off switched characters and it was about breaking free from their oppressor together/tearing him down and finding love with freedom.
And the plot started off as good but has fallen so badly. I liked the idea of him being poor and Koh hiring him and falling in love but the execution is so bad. Also all of the business scenese are done so badly. Nothing irl would happen like that and I don't understand why they show so much of the stuff he says to the business people if it's not important to the story. They should have just montaged those scenes. It was also giving revenge story at first and then just fell off so hard smh.
And last petty little things is that Mawin's dialogues are bad and always tries to be so profound over the littlest situations and Ing has a lot of weird aura farming moments that are so badly placed and last really long. Honestly there's been a lot of those scenes where they want to show the attractiveness of the cast but the scenes always come off as awkward and long lol
But yeah I would not recommend this. The people who say this show is so good are blinded by their OffGun love. I'm very disappointed and will now rewatch the entirety of Not Me and Bad Buddy to make me feel better.
