This is bad on so many levels that I stopped counting after a while. Maybe I shouldn't have started at all? Or else not gone into it with the barest of expectations? I'll never know. Physical Therapy is one of those series that requires fast forwarding or skipping even on 2x. 12 episodes is too much and the story would have been more successful if the number was shortened. Clip some of the length and it would have been enjoyable as well. But it keeps wavering between whether it would like to be plot driven or character driven until the very end and makes use of one to go ahead when the other reaches a dead end. This struggle is painful to watch.

There is not much to the plot either. It's haywire and all over the place, peeping in and reminding us of its presence when the makers think they need to pause the romance between Milk and Pun (which is bland and baseless). Cinematography is childish and the characterisation is bad. Several plot points in the story do not make sense at all but towards the end, expecting them to make sense is just... senseless. The series is littered with a herd of characters that have no work to do. Milk's brother and friend disappear mid way together with the dog, Rosé and her guy pop in at random and I never caught the names or faces of half of Milk's friends. It makes me want to ask- how can anyone be so careless while constructing a plot?

Just when you think the show can't possibly become more ridiculous, in comes the typical female character who is toxic, overbearing and overused and Aek's reason for the breakup. Aek wasn't dealt the worst hand, considering everything actually. It's us- we are the ones that lost. If they weren't going to handle it properly, why bring it up in the first place? Aek and Milk broke up and Milk is unable to take it- a good enough point in itself. It doesn't need any further validations, let alone a nonsensical one. Furthermore, in what is one of the most unbelievable and frustrating scenes ever, we have Aek's friends telling him they'd treat him properly, with basic courtesy, in response to his "problem". *throws up hands because wth!*

Yet, Physical Therapy has its moments (even though they are so few that you'd need a magnifying glass to see them). The courtship period was good even if a bit on the slow side and Milk's family dynamics were cute. That scene where they're all sleeping next to each other on the floor? Single best scene in the show. Then Milk and Pun with the kid save a nanocentimeter of the crappy ending. Maybe I'm just desperately looking for some good here, but the show seemed watchable in these moments.

If you don't watch this, you'll be saving yourself from a boring script filled with clichés, unoriginal dialogues, bad acting (ALL of them need to improve, no, have an acting makeover more like), illogical story and characterisation, lots of second hand embarassment and equal amounts of cringe. I would definitely not recommend this unless some slow moving melodrama bl is what you're looking for. Even then, there are better ones. Choose them first.
