There was a lot of potential here so i hate the scriptwriter

I thought i would hate this considering all the bad reviews but it was surprisingly 'watchable' (I've seen worse) so i had to go back to the novel to understand why the movie came out the way it did.
I 100% blame the scriptwriter.
Fahlanruk story in the novel seems more well rounded than what we were presented, i mean it was toxic but it didn't have a rinse and repeat situation. There was even a part where this couple stopped drinking and having sex and enjoyed intimacy with each other more than lust. The growth that happened in the novel failed to reflect on screen. I'm glad they didn't include the sexual assault but that was the only thing i was thankful that didn't make it from the novel to the screen.
The editor seems to have disappeared. There is no editor for this drama series. He is a ghost so there is no substantial editing done. It was a mess. I was confused from the first episode.
Why didn't they just let Sherbet sing? They could have made us like him more by showing us his passion. I barely remember any song from this.
Too many characters for a production that only needed a few. There were too many unnecessary people. Like the last villain wasn't needed, the guy who kept falling for the wrong people 'fahlan and ping', we only needed a few scenes for pink...etc
The acting was okay, i mean it wasn't wooden and that is a relief. They didn't 'beautify' the characters too much... I really hate it when too much filter is used(i see you enchanté)

Is it watchable? I'm not sure. It depends on what you are looking for.
Is it rewatchable? Maybe for an analysis??
