Tedium Watch

I diligently skimmed through the last three episodes. My Romance Scammer prolongs the inevitable which is an obvious happy ending. I think this is why the new 10 eps per series rule is a good one, except, they completely disregarded it for MRS. This would've definitely benefited more towards that rule as 12 episode of practically nothing but back and forth-ness could've helped to wrap things up more quickly.

Let's Dive In.

This felt like watching an old GMMTV series from 2017. There's a lack of substance and missing nuance that makes this an incredibly dulling watch. The highlights are, of course and as per usual, Junior and Louis. I'm not totally convinced of Ohm and Poon as of now. There was a slight disconnect in their chemistry, but rom-coms are hard to impresses me as it is, so that could've been a large reason why too. Maybe they'll impress in their side-pairing in EarthMix's new series, but until then, I felt nothing.

Skimmed through the last three episodes cause I had lost interest at that point. This is a fun, turn-your-brain-off kind of series, and while I'm not against these types of series, this story stopped working for me very early on. However, I still have lots of faith in JuniorMark, and am getting there with OhmPoon. Until next time, I guess...

Ratings:

Story: 6/10 - Dull. Boring. Tedious. Some funny moments. Good kiss scenes.

Acting: 8/10 - No one really stood out as being just top-notch, spectacular, but per usual, I really enjoyed seeing Junior and Louis on my screen.

Music: 6/10 - Wasn't distracting.

Recommendation Value: 4/10 - Ehh. Not something I'd recommend, maybe to someone really interested in seeing their fave, but otherwise, it's a skip.
