Cute intro Pond Phuwin but be warned about red flags!

I enjoyed the show for the almost crack like comedic elements incorporated into it but it could have definitely dialed up on the romance. Pond and Phuwin have great chemistry which is even more apparent on their latest show 'Never Let Me Go'. Their acting has also improved significantly but event in FUTS, you could see the potential that their pairing had. There were some cute moments and overall it was a wacky ride, but there were some definite red flags as far as characters went.

Mork's character was a giant red flag to me. He stepped all over Pi's boundaries on multiple occasions with the excuse that someone like Pi needs a push to make up his mind. However well meaning his intentions were, I really drew the line when he dragged the shippers into the picture and tried to force Pi to accept his love. That really pissed me off. He never fully understood Pi's insecurities and it felt like he lacked empathy. The only reason that everything he did was acceptable is because he's hot. If he had been a regular joe, he would have been called a stalker and creep.

Don't even get me started on those damn shippers. They were the worst part of the show and it was absolutely disgusting how they felt they had the right to invade Pi's privacy to find out about his relationship with Mork. The worst thing is there was no redemption for them as the show painted them as harmless instead of the disturbed, toxic individuals they are. Considering that they were trying to show how toxic shipping culture can be, it's a disappointment that they didn't give them an ending where they were punished for their stalkerish tendencies.

Enough of the rant. Just wanted to end my review by stating, that despite it's flaws, I did enjoy watching it and would recommend it as a great introduction to Pond & Phuwin! I also really enjoyed Duean's character. He was so funny!!!
