After the high of watching Together With Me, this feels a bit like the crash, or at least right afterwards. With all three main couples preoccupied with cheating, there's not much room for other issues. There are indeed other problems facing soon-to-graduate college students, like Fai's choice to move abroad for work and her struggles against sexism in the workplace. The people trying to defend the overwhelming cheating plots as just being "realistic" are kinda ignoring the fact that it's not realistic to have everyone cheating left and right (except poor Fai, left out in the cold again).

The side characters in this series were pretty forgettable, except for the fangirl club. Rit had the personality of a wet dish towel. Pete got thrust in our faces over and over (pun intended) but he really did not have the same impact as, say, Pernpleng from TWM. On one hand I felt glad that for once there was less of an emphasis on villains getting screen time (unlike Bad Romance's Mydear and James), but I also felt that the writers decided to add a whole bunch of flaws to Korn and Knock to compensate. Like suddenly Knock is addicted to games to the point it affects his work? Or that Korn would get a little drunk and cheat (I know he was under pressure, but damn they could have built up to that cheating scene much more). Or that Knock has a shopping problem and is crazy irresponsible with money while Korn just enables his spending habits by giving Knock his credit card? I don't know, but I felt like TWM made Korn and Knock believable while TWM:TNC wanted to make them "bigger" and "better" without actually giving them real character growth.

I guess I can't write this without talking about the product placement, either. Own Days, couldn't you have at least picked better-looking glasses for Knock for most of the episodes? They were seriously killing the mood every time he popped up. Instead of making me want to go out and buy them, I wanted to rip them off his face. Only in the last episode did I finally not mind Knock's new glasses (and I usually go for guys in glasses anyway, so that says a lot).
