It is a start!

This series was.. . something
The first episodes got me hooked like nothing else but pretty quickly you could see they were running out of ideas until most of the episodes had filler scenes and nothing else.
It was “nice” until episode 8 when they officially ended all they had to say (don’t get me wrong I LOVED the romance between the teachers but we could have had them ending up together sooner instead of waiting episodes and episodes of nothing) after it was just, eh boring until it got BAD in episode 11
I will not talk about episode 11 because I’m pretty sure the fandom talked about it at length, i will just say that it was incredibly fucked up how they treated Ongsa and as a LGBT member myself NO ONE should be forced to come out.

Said this, I think this is still very much a good starter GL series for GMMTV
The quality is the same as a modern BL series (which is a lot considering how high GMMTv treats its BL series) and you could see a lot of thought was put behind this
The chemistry was amazing and the story at the beginning was very very good so i truly hope that the awful (and right) feedback they got for the last episodes doesn’t stop GMMTV but instead motivates it to do better

It could have been so much more (no spoilers)

(English is not my main language! - sorry)
I’m a bitch for Groundhog Day kind of stories so this was right off my alley

The beginning idea is incredibly clever and well thought out… for the first few episodes
This series major flaw is exactly this: at one point the story gets completely lost. It changes so radically that it’s impossible not to think that when they started recording they still didn’t write the ending .
It’s rushed and so different from how the story began considering also that it feels (especially in the last episode) like we - the viewer - are missing some important scenes.
I cannot think of another adjective if not “rushed” for this story because at one point it truly feels like they are trying just to end it, and I have a theory for it: the story was too complex
Don’t get wrong I LOVED how complex it was and if they made this story longer i would have 100% watched it in it’s entirety, but the problem resides exactly here, it wasn’t long. They had to condense an incredibly elaborated story in few episodes, that’s why they completely lost it at one point
Another problem were the characters
the main love-lead is as plain a plank of wood and the side characters are everything but consistent

Now i know I criticised this series a lot but even after everything I physically cannot hate it or even just dislike it. Maybe it’s because of the actors (i loved them in 2moons at the time) or maybe it’s because the plot idea was so cool that i refuse to think that they fucked it up, but i cannot not like this series

Final thought? Watch it
I think it’s still an experience that needs to be done
