Dissapointments All Around
**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Kazuma
T (Employee): Ren
- Beginning: B and T are childhood best friends but fell apart and lost contact for 10 years. T was B’s first love and T is in love with B. T tries to remain friendly and impartial but one night, they ended up sleeping together. This changes the nature of their relationship.
- Middle: After that night, they became friends with benefits because neither of them want this intimacy to end. Despite being friends with benefits, they begin living together, spending all their free time together, acting like real lovers. B is just happy to be with T, no matter what their relationship is.
- End: After going through a series of challenges at work, the series ends with T finally confessing his feelings to B and expressing his worries that B will one day leave him. B reassures him he will not leave.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- There aren’t much angst, mostly because the show is so short. B and T never breaks up or misunderstand each other. Any worries are talked out.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The show is only 8 episodes and yet seemed to touch upon many deep topics that were quickly introduced and quickly resolved. For a short show like this, I feel it’s better to concentrate on the relationship side of things. As for the relationship, I feel we didn’t have enough time to get to know these two, no build ups, no tensions, no reasons why they fell for each other. Under these circumstances, it’s really difficult to root them on.
- The flashbacks doesn’t seem to help me understand the couple at all. And there are way too many flashbacks and they can come out of no where.
- The acting is just plain sometimes, as if the actors were just reading off a script instead of acting out the scene. The directing is just weird sometimes and the lighting and cinematography is just subpar.
- The lack of chemistry between the actors. I don’t know why, it just doesn’t feel intimate or romantic. In the last scene, when B went to kiss T, I saw the latter shrink away a few times. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but it just feels weird between lovers who love each other very much. There is a lack of intimate scenes, which I accept, but the kissing scenes just feel off.
- Usage of miscommunication or misunderstanding as reason for best friends to lose contact for all these years is just so cliche.
**Conclusion**
It’s a very short show that I didn’t like.
