...and then, in the last couple of episodes, it just completely flew off the rails. Sigh. Of course, "Enchanté" is one of those series that depend on the chemistry of the two leads - and they've got that in spades, but the entire plot is just too nonsensical to take seriously. Once the entire set up of the series is revealed in a later episode, you can't help but think, "Huh...?"

The acting is okay. Nothing too great, but neither of the two lead roles are particularly taxing. And I'm fine with that - "Enchanté" is RomCom 101 and the demands on any actor is never too much. The four Enchanté guys are effective enough, but - once again - the plot is so dumb. From the first episode we meet Akk and Theo - childhood friends who've been separated ever since Theo left his family behind and headed Paris to be with his grandmother. Again...huh? For a story about someone who believes in true love (and his parents' love for him and each other are supposed to be "ideal love") yet he never questioned the fact that they just sent off their only child to live almost 10,000 km away in another country? Wait...what?

The last couple of episodes are just manipulation on top of manipulation. I sooo wanted to love this series that I was willing to get past all the plot holes - holes you could drive a truck through - but, ultimately, I couldn't. The ending is just too forced and, above all, fake and dishonest. Disappointed. These guys deserved more - and I would be surprised if they don't get more from GMMTV - but I hope the next time they'll get a sturdier vehicle for their abundance of charm. Oh, and we clearly need more houses for these series. Theo's house was in "Don't Say No", "Baker Boys", the interior of Lian's home in "Cutie Pie", and I was just waiting for Phob from "Something in My Room" to show up in Akk's house. Also, final add - the "Baker Boys" shout out in the final episode alone almost makes up for the messy plot - almost.
