I'm a big fan of the arranged marriage trope but this is just not it. It took me by surprise, but I wasn't mad (at the beginning).

The thing is you can't expect people to keep watching the same scenes for 12 whole episodes.

I became a big fan of the cast after this, not gonna lie. I already knew Zee and I think he, like always, delivered everything with this character. Nunew was a great surprise, along with the actors that play Nuer and Syn. The other couple tho I couldn't stand to watch their scenes together... Their story was so messy (like everything else honestly) and I just felt no chemistry between them :/

About the plot (can we even call it that way?) I don't think there's much left to say really, since everyone else already said it, but one thing that actually bothered me was the fact that they were trying so hard to go like Slayy Go gays!! i mean that final scene with the outdoor????? was that really necessary lmao I think there were better ways of conveying the message.

Finally, like someone already said it, this whole miscommunication plot only works in the end if both parts talk it out and have a change of behavior... I feel like they kept talking all the time but couldn't solve sh*t. like yeah hia lian accepted kuea the way he was but he already knew about everything from the beginning so how does that change anything? and the whole thing with his family going bankrupt ???? that was really just put there to fill some holes and give kuea and lian more reason to argue.

anyway not gonna extend this any longer i'll probably watch season 2 bc of the actors now that i know i can't expect much plot-wise!
