Was the book THIS bad?
Was Mutya ng Section E book actually this dumb? I remember reading it but I don’t remember it being THIS bad? The love interests for this show are literally the biggest babies in the world. I mean the both of them, along with the entire section, are terrorizing and bullying any girl that goes to your section just because of an ex who ghosted you? I mean why? Are they THAT scared of being attracted to a girl that they need to get her to switch sections? What is that logic?!
My anger issues cannot handle being bullied like this and I cannot understand why she would want to stay or why she would, at times, find Keifer hot when he’s literally being a man-child. This guy kept bullying and threatening you to buy their lunches and you’re attracted to him?! Couldn’t they think of anything reasonable to make him bully her? They could have known beforehand that she was Aries’ cousin and bullied her bacause of that— still would be a shitty thing to do but it’d be understandable instead of bullying her just because she’s a girl?? Even with all that she’s attracted to him?? Girl I get it, he’s good looking and all but I cannot even think of dating a douche that does this just because a girl dumped him. The only guy I’d be remotely attracted to in that section is Ci-N since he seemed nice but he already has his own respective love interest and maybe David(?) but doubt they would go for him.
Also, why are they banning the whole section from going to the canteen instead of just banning the ones involved in the fight? Is that even legal? Did no one think this through? Can the school actually get away from not giving the students the right to eat or buy food in the school canteen? JJ was not even involved with the whole thing but she still got banned.
The acting was BAD but the script is also not doing them any favors, the story just doesn’t work. Why couldn’t they hire a better screenwriter? I cannot see any real highschool students talking or acting like this. Even I can write a better script than this! It’s either they don’t pay them enough to care about the show or that they just let an AI write it all because what is this? It’s so easy (and I mean EASY) to actually turn the whole plot better but why can’t they? This book was written by a teenager who didn’t know better when they were writing this, they should’ve known to make small changes to make it logically make sense at least.
I’m still watching because I’m trying to give it a chance but frankly I know I’ll probably end up dropping it at some point. I will also read the book and see if it was THIS bad.
UPDATE: Read the first 3 chapters and will not continue reading the rest; I’d rather watch the show since I think the story will be basically the same as the book. The book was actually THAT bad lol. Wish the screenwriter edited it to make the dialogue and plot better but I guess they don’t care enough to make that much effort.
Also (though I hate to admit it) but the series kinda grew on me. I think I was mad because I thought Jay would be falling for Keifer the moment he bought her a froyo but thank God she didn’t. I still think it’s not the best show ever and imo it’s still bad overall when it comes to the technical aspects (acting, story, script, directing, pacing, etc.) but I think I enjoyed watching the show the moment I threw logic out the window and just accept it for whatever it is — which is a bad Wattpad TV show adaptation (I mean why was I expecting it to be good in the first place?). I’m still holding out hope that in the future filo wattpad adaption wouldn’t be as hard to watch but for now you wouldn’t catch me watching or talking about this in public.
