Oh so mid
My biggest takeaway from this show is simple: never trust GMMTV trailers.
That first trailer got me super hyped in the first place. It promised the delicious, high-stakes potential romance of two clashing personalities—a real push-and-pull dynamic. But then the actual show started, and I just... 🤦🏾♀️
It is genuinely disappointing to sit through such a boring, bare-bones script. Instead of the chaotic "maniacs" we were promised—people who can't stand each other but are inexplicably drawn together—we were handed emotionally stunted protagonists who flat-out refuse to communicate. What followed was 10 episodes of tantrums, emotional shallowness, repetitive conversations, and fluff. Where was the conflict they promised us?
And don’t even get me started on the second couple. We're expected to root for a man so pathologically shy that he turns into an actual stalker. The show then brushes away this highly concerning behaviour with a casual, "Oh, his love interest reverse-searched his image too, so they’re even!" As if that makes it cool? To top it off, the writers then completely speed-run the rest of their relationship.
This entire series was such a massive letdown.
Final Thoughts
Talented, good-looking actors cannot save bad writing. The audience deserves better
