My Thoughts:
Okay, to be honest, I am so bad at synopsis that I think I just almost told the whole story right there and then. Yeah, the synopsis up there is all by me! I felt the given synopsis is not suitable and a bit too different from the drama I just watched so I decided to give my own synopsis based on what I have watched in the drama, maybe when you're watching it, it'll be different from my synopsis, who knows, because this is based on my perspective and more about it later.
I found this drama while on Youtube and have to say I was drawn to it through what I thought was the trailer and since then, I was like, I want more. So, I waited and waited until finally they released the drama, though the "trailer" is not the right one, I was not fully disappointed. Taking into account, the weirdness of the characters and the determination of the female lead, I decided well okay, let's try watching this. I will tell you though it was so hard to finish one single episode because the plot is so cringey that I can't stand it at times, like how the female lead thinks too much and just very interesting thoughts about the male lead. Every single time, she gets close to him, she would just talk to herself about how hot he is or how good he smells and other stuffs. She gives me second-hand embarrassment so many times I couldn't count.
The downside of this drama is that with all the exposition on Teddy & Pascal's relationship, there is no further development of actually why and how they started on it, subtle hints is all I get so from there, I created my own synopsis. I am not so sure about the plot itself because they focused on how Chompink will attract Teddy to her and T&P's relationship is like just supporting role when I believe it should be main role as well. It's like they are just aiming on that Teddy fall in love with Chompink, they just made up all that other stuffs to make it easier. It's like your modern fairytale come to life, little interactions here and there and abracadabra, he's in love.
The story is great and I absolutely loved it but damn, I want more. I feel that it is not enough. Everything went by too fast that I could not comprehend at times, and sometimes things that humans should not even think to do happens in that period of time. I sometimes feel that they are forcing the story and exaggerating a few things. It's like they have a goal in mind and they will do whatever it takes to reach that goal. The only thing that I could comprehend was the budding of love between Pascal and Piglet, Chompink's best friend. Damn, those two are a cute couple. Theirs was a simple love story, he likes her, he hits on her, she plays hard to get, he gets sad, she comforts him, they became official.
Okay, I know my review is a bit messed up today but simplifying things, what could've been a simple love story turned into an exaggerated event. I wanted to hold on to the message that this drama is good in its own way and that there are going to be bad parts about it but if you just held on, you would get to see the rainbow after the storm. Hehehe... There's just too much of that and too little of this for this drama. Therefore, if you have watched this and don't like my review, I was just talking on my perspective. On an ending note, nothing is perfect and there's so much I didn't tell you about this drama, some good ones and some bad ones, I think it's better if you find out yourself, so head on drama-watching!
