Doesn't go anywhere.

This will hurt me badly since WilliamEst is literally one of the couples that I am ACTUALLY a fan of, but I have to say what I have to say. It's not good. I think it's not horrible either, but it's not good. I will divide it into what I liked and what I didn't like.

What I liked was their acting, because both William and Est gave everything they had to these characters. They were very excited to do them, and it's upsetting because a lot of the scenes they did, and were super excited to see, were cut. They did improvisations and gave it their all, so you look at the final piece and feel disappointed.

What I didn't like was, first of all, the whole storyline. It's not my cup of tea. I don't like the miscommunication trope. If they just sat down and talked, the series would have been 3 episodes. It was boring. The secondary couple also didn't add much to the story. I like Barcode and Kin, and I think they are good actors. I just don't think it worked here, because their storyline, which is not their fault but a screenwriting problem, bored me.

At some point, I was also bored by the main couple, Dean and Moth, because I have a lot of problems with the whole plot itself. It was a little off and doesn't go anywhere. We finished the series without knowing anything about the characters. You know the basics because you're watching them, but they don't have many layers and aren't developed as characters.

People make a lot of theories and interpretations, and I think they are being a little biased, because in the end this wasn't in the director's mind. You are interpreting that because you are a fan, but the director wasn't thinking about it, because if you really just look at it, we aren't seeing anything. William and Est were doing their best, squeezing the series to make it work, which is honestly so...

I don't even want to get into the production problems, because the sound was off in most episodes and there were a lot of errors in post-production. It's just upsetting. It should have been a lot better bcs that's one of the most important couples of GMMTV.
