set kk slider's wig on fire: an ode to apo part 2
it is i, the niel.
first, i have to acknowledge that it's a well-written, well-made, well-acted show. objectively, it is good. i appreciate how be on cloud consistently creates mature characters with mature storylines, which i often enjoy. i really liked victor's actor, and i hope to see him in something else. also, there were artistic elements of the show, the characters' styling was great, the sets were thorough, and the scenes looked good.
however, the characters were some of the most frustrating, irritating, and insufferable characters i've seen in a show. with a cast this large, i'm impressed with how many characters i frankly disliked. the acting delivered, and the actors did a fantastic job. the writers just made some odd choices with the motivations and backstories for these characters that made me dislike most of them by the end. it's difficult to fully enjoy a show when you're not rooting for or care about the characters having a happy ending.
i watched the first seven episodes back to back, but it took me a bit to get around to the last one. i left the show feeling annoyed, and the last episode dragged on forever. they could have ended at 45 minutes and i would've felt fine. i really did not like the ending, and it did not fit the tone of the show, or align with the prior actions of trin's character. tanwa's character was the worst of the bunch. i could not feel sympathy for tanwa's character, regardless of how much they wanted me to. even during the last episode, i did not change my view of him and his previous actions. i wanted to set that wig on fire.
it is worth watching, but be prepared to feel a wide range of emotions. i can respect the craft, but by the end i was losing my mind. still, i keep coming back to their shows. au revoir!
best,
