Muita coisa em aberto

Olha ... Sei nem o que dizer direito. Mas já que estamos aqui, vou tentar colocar em palavras o que eu penso.
A sinopse prometia duas coisas: um combo de 3 casais BL, e uma história sobre a adolescência sem máscaras, mostrando coisas que eles realmente fazem, mas que os adultos fingem que não sabem.

O primeiro casal de início era Chogun e Ten. Eu achei muito interessante essa abordagem, pois ambos estão na puberdade, hormônios à todo vapor, se descobrindo, mas ambos tem noções de moral e ética bem diferentes. Os dois sabem o que são e o que querem, mas enquanto um deles está pronto pra gritar seu amor pra o mundo, o outro não está, aliás, depois do choque de realidade ele vai ceder, mas aí será tarde demais, pois Matteo vai ter a coragem que ele não teve, se assumir um namoro oficial com Chogun. Creio que essa dinâmica entre jovens casais seja mais comum do que pensamos. Quando Matteo entra na história, a dinâmica muda pra um rascunho do que deveria ser BDSM com Chogun, mas sempre termina numa grande confusão. Isso me frustou de imediato, mas percebi que se tratam de adolescentes se descobrindo, e talvez a intenção da série foi justamente explicar que para certas coisas é necessário o mínimo de maturidade. Achei maravilhoso que ele provou seu amor por Chogun e terminaram bem.

O segundo casal é o meu favorito: Burguer e King. O que os aproximou foi um mal entendido, mas a convivência fez com que eles se apaixonassem, King assumiu esse amor primeiro, Burguer foi mais resistente, pois temia ferir sua amiga que gostava de King. Pra mim foi o desenvolvimento mais bonito e saudável de todos.

O terceiro casal não veio aí. O clichê de irmãos por afinidade que se apaixonam, ficou no ar. A tensão entre eles era explícita, mas a série preferiu dar a eles um final aberto. O que mais me incomodou foi o fato de que o BB de óculos visivelmente não gostava da namorada, ele no fundo sabia que era gay e preferiu fugir disso. O auge de tudo, foi ele continuar protegendo a "namorada" de tudo e todos, mesmo depois de ser traído e humilhado. Tudo bem ele não ser um cuzão com ela, mas cara, já deu, vai viver tua vida. O irmão foi além e provou seu amor no incidente com Fern, se tiver uma segunda temporada, espero que esse casal seja trabalhado.

Uma coisa que gostei, foi que quando os vídeos viralizaram, a galera do basquete, que aparentemente era a mais homofóbica, tratou o assunto com respeito, e ensinaram uma lição ao amigo homofóbico.

Coisas que odiei:
1: a série começa com a polícia investigando uma morte, e termina sem que saibamos quem é o defunto.
2. a série colocou as mulheres como vilãs, achei isso tenso.
3. o final da Fern ficou aberto, ela acordou e não sabemos se ela lembra, se vai acusar ou não, enfim.
4. O final dos irmãos ficou em aberto também.
5. A professora trans era claramente homofóbica
6. Passa uma imagem de Ten com uma arma, mas depois isso foi esquecido no churrasco e não sabemos se aconteceu.
7. Tudo ficou em aberto, sugerindo uma próxima temporada, vamos ver se vem.
Tiveram outros pontos, mas deixo para a próxima.

Os aspectos técnicos são todos razoáveis. Os garotos, apesar de muito jovens, atuaram razoavelmente bem. A música combinou com tudo, os casais tinham química, a filmografia e fotografia eram boas. Eu indico essa série, mas aviso que ela não responde muitas perguntas, e que não é bom se apegar ao trailer.

burger king que não é de comer

quando comecei a assistir pensei que seria aquela tipico bl sobre primeiro amor e momentos fofinhos, só que essa serie desandou para um lado totalmente diferente do que imaginava abordando vários temas pesados e difícil de fazer em um tom até meio despretensioso e isso me deixou incomodado os temas pesados sendo tratados tão cômico e até mesmo bobo só para ter uma trama

o elenco até que não é dos piores, já que todos são iniciantes tem até que uma atuação mediana (pois é eu já vi piores) eu já ia reclamar que 6 epidosios é bem curtinho e poderia ter abordado as coisas melhores mas terá continuação vamos ver no que vai dá

recomendo para quem gosta de ver adolescente fazendo merda e sem preocupação nenhuma sobre seus atos

Precisamos falar sobre Hit Bite Love? Infelizmente, sim.

Como pegar um romance/hot/mistério em uma bagunça completa? O diretor conseguiu esse feito.
Esperei um tempo para poder assistir essa série, porque queria saber se haveria o anuncio de mais episodios. Pelo que tinha ouvido, apenas 6 seria muito pouco, mas a única coisa que veio foi o anuncio de uma proxima temporada. Me dei por vencidade e comecei a assitir.

Se você gosta de séries rápido, emboladas de tramas mal acabadas e um discurso problematico. Essa série é pra você.
No começo a série conseguiu me pegar. Virei cadelinha de Burguer e King, a virada de história sobre o romance deles é engraçada e até bem fofa, mas precisamos concordar que é um tanto perturbador. Sem entrar em muitos detalhes, achei um pouco forçado como tudo foi se desenvolvendo, além de todos os momentos de vergonha alheia.

Pontos positivos:
Gostei da música, juro que ficou na minha cabela e eu me via cantando enquanto almoçava.
Gostei das atuações, uma ou outra pecam, mas nada absurdo.
Os casais são criveis, mas forçados. Porém, não posso dizer que não gostei por completo. A discussão sobre um relacionamento tóxico e o fato de mudarmos nossas vidas para nos encaixar nas vontades do namorado, é bem importante já que muitas vezes esse problema é minimizado. Só que colocar um adolescente confuso e com o coração partido para se relacionar com um riquinho com complexo de "Dom" e cafetão? Jura que alguém achou que isso daria certo? Que pareceria saudavel? Isso pra mim não é discutível.

Pontos negativos:
Eu entendo o apelo de querer misturar um romace hot e fofo com crime e mistério. Juro que entendo. Até porque Elite e algumas séries estão ai para provar que isso funciona e muito bem. Porém, uma história tão fraca, com muitos pontos principais e com tão poucos episódios... Isso define o caos.

A vilanização das duas meninas que aparentemente nasceram para serem enganadas por garotos que estão se descobrindo gays e por isso elas se tornam intragaveis, é simplesmente desgastante e machista. Venhamos e convenhamos, isso é um cenário crível e particularmente comum. As pessoas podem sim descobrir sua sexualidade estando em outro relacionamente com alguém do sexo oposto ou do mesmo sexo. Então porque demonizar os meninos por isso? E principalmente, porque tornar as duas meninas tão malvadas? A ruiva, cujo qual nem quero lembrar o nome, é uma garota infantil e mimada que não sabe ter uma conversa básica para entender o que está acontecendo com o próprio namorado. A Pimtha é uma menina estilo "meninas malvadas" que foi tirada do papel de vitima (pela exposição do video) apenas pelo bel prazer dos roteirista, para apenas ter um conflito feminino entre as duas e torna-las não suficientemente inimigas dos caras, mas também entre elas mesmas. É como um dos personagens diz: "Porque ela teria inveja de você apenas por um papel em uma peça escolar?" Acho que é a parte mais sensata dessa série hahaha.
Um adendo a professora Jaqueline que é NOJENTA, nunca na vida pensei que veria falas tão tortas ditas de forma cotidiana e comum. Principalmente de um personagem que eu ACHO que é trans ou travesti. Já vi personagens que esse ator fez e a única coisa positiva desse é a atuação do proprio ator. Que conseguiu transformar minha admiração por ele, em nojo completo.

O último ponto é o desenvolvimento dos "casais". Não tenho nada contra o casal de BDSM que começou de forma duvidosa e explana o topíco de sadomasoquismo de forma errônea, mas sinceramente achei eles fracos. Não me apeguei e geralmente gosto de temáticas desafiadoras. Casal bem qualquer coisa, que poderia facilmente ter sido deixado de lado para que os outros pudessem se sobressair, mas não, o apelo do "fetish" sexual e das cenas hot falou mais alto na hora de botar o conteúdo em prática. A curta cena hot do começo, entre os namorados não assumidos da de dez a zero em qualquer outra desse casal ai.
King e Burguer também foram outros dois mal explorados e problemáticos. Querem enfiar goela a baixa de um personagem a orientação sexual, quando podiam ter trabalhado um desenvolvimento mais calmo e fofo para que Burguer percebesse que na verdade é bissexual e que também gosta de King, apesar da paixonite na guria la.
O último casal de irmão postiços daria um arco engraçado e até complexo em certo nivel, se não fosse a pressão em torna-los do nada enteresse romantico um do outro e o fato de terem pouco tempo de cena. Mesmo que no final do 6 episódio o mistério gire mais entre eles.

No mais Hit Bite Love até tinha potencial, se não fosse um bando de estereótipos chatos acumulados em uma serie adolescente. Não vi outros trabalhos desse diretor, mas pelo que li todos seguem o mesmo destino, por isso só me deixou com menos vontade de assistir mais. Vou esperar ansiosamente a 2 temporada, pois quero saber o que vai acontecer, mas esperao ainda mais que eles possam aproveitar essa oportunidade para corrigir os erros cometidos, fechando mais portas narrativas do que abri-las para que não tenhamos respotas alguma.

Se leu até aqui e gostou da resenha vote em útil, deixe seu comentário com a sua opinião (independente do idioma) e continuem me aconpanhando aqui. Obrigada, xo Tris.

Have you ever watched a show that made you feel like you are a dirty pedophile? If not, and if you are looking for one, then this one is for you!

Before anything, lets talk about the good things:
1.Newyear and Jur's King and Burger. Newyear somehow reminded me of a young Ohm and Jur's obvious over acting is endearing. I think the series will have a more positive reaction had they made them the focus of this show.
2. Is there a number 2?

Truth be told, I cant tell how anyone behind the show thought this was a good idea. This series is so reminiscent of the director's past works- Make it Right and What the Duck, but it seems like they never learned their lesson and instead amplified what people hated from those shows. Now lets talk about the not so good things:
1. The story. Cramming so many things within a 6 episode show is just too much, plus you really cant tell what the show is about. Is it a love series? Is it a murder mystery series?
2. Just like Love Sick 2, they managed to add another 2 of the most annoying characters ever on a tv show. There's no need to explain why Bookko's teacher is so despicable. And there's Mint's Pakaiwan. Also, special honorable mention to Ning's Pimtha, because
3. I really dont understand why some showrunners are so intent on making girls the villains in a boy-love series. Adding hate-able female characters doesnt automatically make viewers accept boy-love, if anything, its just lazy writing.
4. Speaking of lazy writing- this one seems like a mash up of a few other shows but is much more poorly executed. It is quite obvious that Burger King's story is derivative of Kieta Hatsukoi and there's an abvious attempt to make this into an Agatha Christie show.
5. I mentioned earlier that this show can make you feel like a dirty pedophile - the short shorts (it somehow felt like shorter shorts from Make it Right) is just too much and way too distracting. There was also quite a lot of disturbing shirtless scenes. I remember i was cringing during that scene when King removed his shirt and is trying to strip Burger - they obviously doesnt have what it takes to do that mature scene (they look like naked 10 year olds with those tiny bodies) but to force it does not look sexy, at all.
6. Bigboss' permanently constipated puppy sad look face. No matter what scene he is in, its the same sad face.
7. If they're planning season 2, which we all know is coming despite all the company's drama, I sincerely hoped they kept Pakaiwan dead because we dont need to see her anynore.

What's sad is there are hints that this could be a much better show. Overall, if you lower your expectations, it is still watchable and because of Burger and King i will give it a 6 (and also because i hate giving lower than that). Skip if you can only watch a few shows a week and save your viewing time for something much better.

Disastrous

There's only so much you can stuff into a 6-ep series. Unfortunately, everything stuffed into this is awful.

The first question is, what genre is this? It was marketed as a BL, and most of the couples in this involve two boys, although only one is just two boys. The other two are everyone's favorite thing, love triangles.

Or is is a murder mystery? Maybe, except the dead body at the beginning is not the same body as turns out to be the case, nor at the same level of deceasedness. Which makes me wonder if Thai emergency services frequently transport live people in body bags. If so, I hope they remember to poke air holes in them.

Or is it about a rivalry between two bitchy girls? On the surface, no, that's not what it is, but that leads us to wonder why almost the entire runtime of this series is consumed by two almost supernaturally unpleasant people who I'm sure almost the entire audience wishes were not in the series at all.

The all-male love triangle involves a boy who's into BDSM, which is handled with the usual BL sensitivity, i.e. none at all, portraying it as deviant and possibly evil - certainly PTSD-inducing, and instead of his partner finding a way to accommodate his tastes, BDSM-boy is forced to give it up in the name of True Love, which can never include "deviant" behavior in BL. There's actually a scene where non-BDSM boy wants to break up because he realized that BDSM-boy has a slight preference for being a dom over a sub, and so he feels that he is horrendously depriving him of pleasure. Seriously, that's the conversation. Then he goes on to describe how flicking him with a toy whip makes him feel like he's inflicting violence on someone he loves. Sigh.

The love triangle with the girl involves a self-indentifed slut (who had sex with a grand total of one person, so what is the message here? ) and two step-brothers. Another favorite theme of BL audiences. Let's combine cheating, an evil female, and incest into one storyline - yay? I don't actually mind step-brother stories, but I know that a large part of the audience does mind, a larger part of the audience doesn't like cheating, and almost the entire audience doesn't like stories to be chewed up by evil girlfriends.

The only reasonably uncomplicated storyline is between Burger & King (get it?), and it is cute largely because the two boys are adorable. It's certainly not because of their acting ability or the amount of time spent on their story.

Which brings us to the topic of acting. I don't want to be too critical, because these are all beginners and they were clearly doing their best, but each of them only has one facial expression and it's not really enough. Maybe if they had two each it would have worked better. Non-BDSM-boy has kicked-puppy face, King has "did I live the iron on?" face, Evil Girl #2 has "what is that smell?", etc. There are one or two experienced actors in this (like Art, as beautiful as ever, but he has at most 60 seconds of screentime).

Worse, there is, again, an awful trans character who is loud, ridiculous, and an awful person, because Thail BL is unable to conceive of anything but "straight" people as being "good" and "normal". That's improved a decent amount in BL in general, but that progress hasn't reached this catastrophe of a series.

Perhaps worst of all, it doesn't end. None of the relationships get anywhere, and even though we know whodunnit, that story isn't resolved either. Couldn't they at least have left it as a mystery if they were going to end on a cliffhanger? What possible motivation do I have to continue watching this into the next season?

This series is a ripoff of the Spanish show Elite, which is far better. A central problem with Hit Bite Love is that it's set in high school (because that's a BL law or something) and it's themes are adult. Because of this, and because most of the actors are underage, the series is crippled by conservative Thai morality and so the story can never dig its teeth into any of its themes. This is so serious an issue that even when boys are at the swimming pool, if there's any romantic connection between them, their torsos are wrapped in big towels, as if having two boys who like each other shirtless is Crossing the Line.

Other than the cuteness factor of BurgerKing and Art being on my screen, the only positive quality is the background music, which is better than usual, and actually supports the story, such as it is. Although the theme song has so much autotune I assumed it was on purpose - although it does sound like a malfunctining robot and I'm not sure why you would want that.

I would skip this. If you had to decide between this and watching, say, Gen Y 2, then I would probably just kill myself. But Hit Bite Love is a lot shorter, so more of your brain might survive if you were to choose it.

Wowza

I kind of knew going into this, it was going to be way below mediocre, but Hotdog, was this a trash fire of bad acting, an even worse script, and a god-awful theme song (I mean seriously who in production allowed that??) Hit Bite Love is terrible, which is the main reason why I watched it cause sometimes I need to not think and just watch.

Let's Dive In.

There's not much to say. This series is horrible in all aspects, and if you're wanting to watch, watch it specifically because you want to watch garbage, because you want to have a good laugh, because you need background sound while doing homework, etc. Anything but actually take this series seriously.

I didn't realize how young some of the actors are. Especially with the subject of BDSM which plays a part in all relationships. Talking about BDSM, it's so laughable in this, but quite honestly, it utilizes BDSM more than I've seen other series involving BDSM do. It's cringey, it's very awkwardly quiet (even the music doesn't help), and I skipped most of it by the end.

The only couple I decently liked was King and Burger. I think they could've had a really cute series had it just been the two of them, a proper plot, and a longer runtime. They were giving me MSP vibes that I was kind of digging, but whoever was behind the script completely obliterates their cute little rom-com romance.

Ratings:

Story; 3/10 - the plot is cheap writing and even worse storytelling. Everything's a bit rushed, and there's so much happening (murder mystery..?) that it hurts my brain. I'll give the only two stars I feel like giving to King and Burger's plot. The other star is because it's so bad that it's almost entertaining.

Acting: 5/10 - The acting is bad, but it's not the worse aspect of this series, so it's not unwatchable. Jur (Burger) and Vic (Hida) actually seem to have some potential, they just need a better crew to back them up.

Music: 1/10 - Who the fuck green-lighted that theme song? They sound so excruciatingly terrible that I kind of wanted to cry for the boys that sang it. Cause now it's out for the world to hear and years later, if any of these actors are to grow in popularity, they will be made fun of for it until they die. I know they're already probably regretting it.

Recommendation Value: 1/10 - Again, watch for fun, turn your brain off, and have a good laugh. But don't watch for any reason other than that.

I think they teased a season 2??? Really??

a mess (and not the good kind)

Overall: my concerns about the official poster where one character is mooning his classmates, how the company posted about the legal age of consent on their official facebook page and the fact that there are several actors under the age of 18 were a harbinger of things to come. The writers didn't know what they wanted this show to be (sweet romcom, dark mystery, spicy nsfw or realistic/educational), lack of a clear tone along with the other flaws has made me drop this after watching 4 episodes. 6 episodes airing on YouTube (Jinloe Official channel). 

Content Warnings: death, sexual assault, non con touching that turned consensual, non con kiss, blackmail, sex shaming, manipulation, unwanted public outing, note: brothers?/step brothers? eventual romantic relationship?

What I Liked
- the friendship between King and Shokun
- I'm happy that Shokun decided to break up with Ken as this isn't shown that much, but unfortunately he went from the frying pan and into the fire
- a couple funny and cute moments (what was that with the drawing haha)
- parts of NSFW that were more realistic like grinding and using hands and um, mouths in a certain location *cough cough*
- appreciate that they tried some BDSM education but it was preachy and they missed some really fundamental parts*
- King's mom helping King to have safe sex by purchasing supplies and putting them in his backpack (although sending them to school seems...odd)

Room For Improvement
- *a foundation for BDSM is safe, sane and consensual, the writers have ignored the consensual part and made Matteo manipulate/blackmail Shogun into being his play partner, I'm sure they are going to catch feelings and all will be well blegh. Also, how do they not have safe words/signs, that's like 101. Plus I'm annoyed that they used real handcuffs but did not have a tool to cut them apart in the emergency kit Matteo talked about.
- ep 4, I do not want Burger and King to be together. It takes a special breed of a**hole to use a document someone gave you to convince you to like/date them and then burn them with candle wax and use their severe dislike of spicy food to get them not to like you (because I guess saying "I don't like you, please stop" was too difficult). Burger even laughed while he was hurting King. 
- ep 4, Matteo should not have talked about wanting to be dom at that time because Shokun was extremely vulnerable and grateful and would likely say yes, when in a different frame of mind he would have said no
- the constant short shorts and then Burger and King taking their shirts off, I'm not interested in fanservice sexualizing minors
- ep 1, the super serious intro followed by a peppy intro (but it included BDSM supplies) was bizarre, not sure if they think it's funny but the police station scenes are not funny at all to me
- confusing start/choppy because they didn't subtitle the transition slides that I assume said how much time had passed/day of the week, I wasn't sure if those first two scenes in ep 1 were flashbacks or flash forwards
- too many characters/couples for 6 episodes, the brothers/step brothers didn't appear in the first episode and then in episode 3 a different couple was absent, then in episode 4 the brothers/step brothers were again absent
- choppy, they'll have a scene and then suddenly be somewhere else or even it seems there is a time jump, I was confused in episode 2 that it was a flashback. Apparently there is a paid uncut version that is less choppy but I'm reviewing the free version on YouTube.
- shaking the camera when she appeared in episode 2 to insinuate that she is overweight was terrible and again not funny
- I really wish all the actors were at least 18 (more on this below)
- that they made a trans woman an antagonist
- the very obvious product placement
- the nurse saying she'll talk to the school, aren't there health privacy laws in Thailand? I understand needing to talk to the parents if minors are involved, although if someone is bleeding heavily do you still need permission to stop the bleeding?

Character/Actor Ages with NSFW Content
I consider myself a sex positive person and in the real world I'm fine with teens having sex as long as it's consensual and not unethical/illegal (i.e. student/teacher, using manipulation etc). So I don't have a problem with fictional teens engaging in NSFW.

However, I want the actors to be at least 18 for several reasons (this applies to any gender or sexual orientation). I think they are more mature and able to handle the pros and cons of starring in NSFW content. They are less dependent on their parents financially or legally. Here are the actors' ages:
Burger/King: Newyear (15), Vasin (17)
Matteo /Ken/Shokun: Alan (20), BigBoss (18/19), Pure (19)
Heda/Saint: Vic (17), Tae (19)

So bad, in so many ways

Some series are bad because of a weak story. Some are bad because they try to tell the story of multiple couples, shifting uncomfortably from one couple to another. Some are bad because of haphazard editing despite a story that is ok. Some are bad because they are exploitative. Some are bad because of an uneven tone. Some are bad because they pretend to deal with interesting themes only to disappoint. Rarely do we get a series that is bad in all these ways. But Hit Bite Love is one of those rare gems that is bad in all these ways and probably more.

There are three sets of main characters, and although the characters are all schoolmates, the drift from one set of characters to another is tiring. There are some hints every now and then at a major event that happens later in the story, but they are barely enough to sustain interest. In fact, viewers might even wonder if they are random scenes (the characters being interviewed by police officers) that represent their state of mind.

Perhaps one could give the series credit for daring to cover themes like BDSM and teenage sex, but there is a difference between sensitively dealing with such themes and using them as excuses to sexualize teenagers. The actors are very young (some below eighteen) and the characters are even younger. Yet, the seems to be no hesitation in bringing in gratuitous scenes of sex and bare skin. Even the most innocent and youngest couple, Burger and King, was given a bed scene with some suggestion of penetrative sex--while the characters do not have sex, someone seems to have found it appropriate to let King's mother be mistaken and show what is going on in her imagination.

The series could have dealt seriously with some themes, but it did not. There could have been a sensitive portrayal of Ken's predicament when he has to decide between coming out of the closet because of his boyfriend, Shogun, and remaining in the closet because of homophobia in the society. Unfortunately, the characterization is all over the place. He is selfish and sometimes seems to only want sex from Shogun. And for someone who is afraid that people will find out that he is gay (or is he??), he seems to be uncannily daring in trying to make out with Shogun in places when his schoolmates can suddenly appear. What's even worse is that at first he seems to be dating a girl to cover up his homosexuality, but later it is shown that he has not only have had sex with that girl but another girl as well. So perhaps he is bisexual or whatever--I don't think it really matters. Everything is just not very coherent, and it is thus too difficult to sympathize with this character or to see any important point being made about the difficulty of coming out in a homophobic society.

Then someone also decided that it was appropriate to throw in some BDSM into the story. It would still be fine if the point were simply that BDSM is just a sort of fetish that some adults engage in consensually. It's not something that everyone is into, but I am fine if some people enjoy it. However, the story goes out of its way to emphasize that the characters involved are considered too young for it and yet ALSO present them engaging in BDSM in scenes that can be considered sexploitation. And did I mention that Shogun is basically pressured by Matteo into engaging in BDSM in exchange for securing budget for the music club? I can't be convinced that Matteo really loves Shogun after this, but that's what the series tries to persuade us of anyway.

The only saving grace in the series is Burger and King, but guess what? There is an uncanny similarity between Burger and King's story and the Japanese BL series, My Love Mix-Up. And even then, the copying isn't that well done.

Young actors but mature themes

Warning: Although this is a BL with young actors, this drama contains mature themes such as manipulation, (attempted) suicide, and sex/BDSM/sexual preferences.

This 6-episode drama centers around 9 high schoolers and their struggles with friendships, relationships, sexual identities, social norms, and acceptance/self-acceptance. That's a lot to put into 6 episodes, but I think that it was done rather effectively. It's a shame that they left out some of the deleted scenes, as they would have fleshed out the story a little better. However, the story we are given is fairly representative of the secrets that people keep (including but not necessarily teenagers) in order to protect themselves and those they love or cherish. These secrets may or may not include various lifestyles/preferences and acts of violence/harm that are shown in this drama.

The main actors in this drama were obviously rookie actors, but their lack of experience didn't prevent them from showcasing their potential for future roles. The story had a lot of characters, but they were all tied together in various ways, so it made sense to me to see that many people. Navigating the day-to-day cast of characters in real life is no different than what was shown here, especially in a school or work setting. That being said, this is still a drama, and a lot of the situations were done in dramatic fashion. But the actions and emotions of the cast were appropriate for the roles they played.

I, for one, enjoyed this drama and I am looking forward to season 2.
