The One That Got Away (2018)

A very entertaining show

This isn't very spoilery spoilery, but I do refer to the ending.

I watched this show on VIKI, wich only has 48 episodes, all 88 episodes are on youtube but they don't have English subtitles, and so I am not sure what I missed. It didn't really feel like I missed anything though, the condensed version felt complete.

First of all, this show is very funny. I have laughed a lot. The story itself is quite standard, three girls trying to find love and ends up (very quickly) becoming best friends. And then there show up some people here and there causing problems.

I was a bit worried when starting this that this show would be over-the-top mean and yelly, since it's about a man and his three ex-girlfriends, but no worries. All the main characters are very lovely and I fell in love with them all buy the first 3 or 4 episodes or so. Well, the guy, Liam, is fine and all, but the girls, Alex, Darcy and Zoe are so much fun to watch. Most of the craziness in this story comes from more peripheral characters.
I also really liked Zoe's brother (or bro-bro) Sam who looks constantly confused. Darcy's best friend (or besh) Bunny is also a highlight.
There is also the character Iñigo who at first I was a bit unsure of, but he's just very corny.

This is a rom-com show and there is romance of course, and if you are worried that its going to be bored at the end that it's gonna be all fluff and no plot, no fear! The scriptwriters unleashed all their creativity in the last part, it gets wild! It reminds be a a bit of the last season of the OC, wich is also very different tonally from the rest of the show. And for me - in a good way, its very entertaining.

The sound quality is at times quite bad, more traffic sounds than speaking sounds, or it sounds like they recorded their lines over the phone. But I at least use subtitles, so its fine for me.
