Only Friends: Dream On — 1/10 😭
Honestly, I really wanted to like this series, especially because I had high expectations going in, but unfortunately it just did NOT work for me. 😭 The story felt messy and confusing, and instead of making me excited to see what would happen next, I often found myself wondering what was even going on.
The biggest problem for me was the plot. It had so much potential, but the execution just wasn’t there. A lot of things felt rushed or underdeveloped, and some of the storylines didn’t feel like they were going anywhere. I wanted more depth from the characters and their relationships, but instead, I felt disconnected from most of them.
The pacing also made it difficult to stay invested. There were moments that could have been really interesting or emotional, but they didn’t hit the way they should have. I kept waiting for the story to finally become more engaging, but unfortunately, it never really got there for me.
And compared to the original Only Friends, this one just didn’t give me the same excitement. 😭 I know every series doesn’t have to be the same, but I was expecting something that would make me feel strongly about the characters, and instead I mostly felt frustrated and bored.
The actors did what they could, and there were definitely some good individual moments, but the writing and overall execution made it hard for me to fully enjoy their performances. Even the chemistry didn’t feel strong enough to carry the weaker parts of the story.
Overall, Only Friends: Dream On gets a 1/10 from me. 😭 I really tried to give it a chance, but the plot, pacing, character development, and execution just weren’t working for me. It had potential, but unfortunately, potential alone isn’t enough.
Very disappointing. I wanted to love it, but I just couldn’t. 😭
