If I were a pick, I'd always choose you
This was very cute. I’m a sucker for a fake dating story and having a music trope and college setting just adds to the love.
Acting:
Everyone did a damn good job with their roles in this. I even got a couple good crier moments with Win shedding some tears, which I love. I was pleasantly surprised by the performances in this. The casting was superb for these roles. Bright and Win were absolutely perfect for Tine and Wat. The supporting cast was solid all the way through as well.
Writing:
I love a fake dating situation and add in that Wat was a pining fool for over a year prior is the cherry on top. I think it was pretty darn good up until that 3rd act breakup which I hated. It left no time for me to see a lovey-dovey happy ending. I want more than one time skip scene. But like, I get it, that’s kind of par for the course. I really enjoyed the show regardless, and the script was solid throughout. Didn’t love the use of female characters solely to make the mcs jealous, but it is a tropey bl, so like, not surprising. Don’t love all the misunderstandings and miscommunications, but at the same time it wasn’t absolutely horrendous the entire time and I’ve seen couples who are worse at communicating in my friend group so…
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
They had some damn good chemistry. They worked well in every stage of the relationship and it was lovely to watch. This was a very cute romance. The kissing was a but too light for a college romance in my opinion. I expect a little more, especially after they made up like why are we only high fiving.
Music/SFX:
Music was great. I actually loved that they didn’t use overly-produced recordings in the singing scenes, it made it feel real and raw which I haven’t really seen in a drama yet. SFX were good.
Now, for some highlights from my notes:
- Ahh yes a boyfailure
- Bro is dreamy
- Bi panic too real
- This is so cute what
- Bro is DREAMY
- Bro has Nirvana which is obv but also a 2013 Pierce the Veil, Mayday Parade You and me at Six & All Tim Low concert poster????? My man
- This little soon-to-be-awakened bi boy needs to chill
- Oh no baby is hurting stop hurting baby
- That’s so many photos baby down bad fr
- Boy denser than osmium
- *I'm just drunk again. I'll be drunk again. I'll be drunk again. To feel a little love*
- *Don't tell me what I wanna hear. Afraid of never knowning fear. Experience anything you need. I'll keep fighting jealousy. Until it's fucking gone*
- *Tell me why I see you in. Everything, everywhere all the timе. You follow me like a shadow
From you, therе's nowhere that I can hide. Life here without you's so shallow. And I wanna call you, but I don't. Ever wanna be the reason for tears that you cry. Everything, everywhere all the time. Wish I could forget you, but I won't. You’re everything, everywhere*
- Alright, fine. This show gets a playlist too I can’t help myself teehee
- Bro got me giggling
- His friends kinda suck
- *Suburban living with a feeling that I'm giving up everything for yoooooou*
- I hate it here
- Cuteeeee
- Why are we lyyyingggggg boy don’t piss me offfff
- Daaamn boys, moving a little fast, aren’t we
- PRECIOUSSS
- CUUUTE the PICK so CUUUTE
- Still 3 episodes left tho… Don’t put me through too much now
- *Not talk it out, now talk it out*
- Or not…
- Honey, sweetheart, can we take some deep breaths and think this through before we do something we regret
- Yeahh.. You really could’ve avoided all of this if you had explained things about Pam to your boyfriend, recommended a guitar teacher to her, and addressed everything properly when you say issues arising. This is almost entirely on you, Mr Dreamy
- Just talk it out after you chill for a minute, don’t give me this 3rd act breakup bs
- Bro, you walked in on a public hug, relax. The song thing is something to talk about, not flip your lid over. Jesus.
- Okay RELAX there, little man with the Bags by Clairo vibes
- Fucking 3rd act breakups always leave like 2 minutes of joy at the end
