Romance Ao Lucar (2020)

I really tried to like this show. Wanted to drop it about 6 episodes, but kept sticking to it and hoping that it would get better. Nope, it just got more annoying.

The premise is actually pretty good. The first half of episode 1 is actually very interesting. Then it got stupid... very fast. A lot of the plot twists are not very believable. Misunderstandings that could have been cleared up by just saying or doing something simple got dragged out longer than it needed to be. This process made the characters appear very dim-witted. The only smart characters are the bad guys. All the good guys are either spoiled, stupid, or selfish... or all of the above. By the time I got halfway through episode 13, I was starting to route for the bad to just kill them all off so I don't have to be so angry at them anymore... for their god-level stupidity.

The acting from everyone is... let's just say that I've seen better acting from grade school kids. A lot of the lines were delivered very flat or else came across very forced. The writing and acting should share equal fault in this. It might have helped a little if they had gotten more suitable actors? Maybe a better director? Definitely needed a better writer. During times when the atmosphere was dark and stressful... when they were supposedly talking or dealing with doom and gloom... the actors would crack these stupid and goofy smiles. Situations where a "normal" person in the real world would think "I shouldn't behave this way", these guys go in the complete opposite direction (again, even most kids wouldn't behave this way). It's almost like these reason for these choices are only there to prolong and try to increase unnecessary tension.

It's hard to imagine that these "gods", who have been living and doing their jobs for thousands of years, can behave like this. Where's the level-headed thinking? Where's the god level sense of responsibility? Maybe act more mature... like a normal adult? With gods like these... no wonder the world is falling apart.

Anyway, I'm done with this drama.. on to the next one. It can't be much worse.

Not sure about this one

Dear goodness,
I’ve never struggled so hard to watch a series. No lie. Episode one was not that intriguing but I was interested in the plot so I kept watching. By the end of episode 2, I was already getting this melancholy vibe from the FL. They play the sad music when she was talking or thinking. He didn’t smile much. I could just sense she was the pitiful character. ML was okay but it’s just something not right with this one at least up to episode 5. It was a bit cringe. Like a kid story or something. I’m sure there’s more but it’s definitely one that has to be watched in segments otherwise you’ll be disappointed.
