Amore (2020) Episode 10: Let's Begin

As early as Episodes 3-4, I've already said I don't like the "manipulative and scheming" and "shady" Wil. While I generally like flawed characters because they're more human and more realistic, I don't like imperfections that are almost or downright criminal (e.g. Wil, Kenji). I like flawed characters who are able to overcome their shortcomings and are able to show character development and redemption (e.g. Nuan, Jimmy). Episode 10: Let's Begin reiterated why I would rather have JoJimmy than JoWil. Note that I've always been for JoNuan but since that ship's over even before it started, JoJimmy's a good second choice. This episode also somehow gave credence to the long-running suspicion that Butch is actually Wil's son. However, even up to now, I'm still bothered that Princess (and later her son) was able to hide in JoJimmy's room for so long without Madam Tusha and Wil finding out and that it's only during this time that Princess found out about Wil -- and this is supposed to be based on a true story! In any case, plot/storyline progressed nicely on this episode. Although there were still some corny dialogues especially between Joey and Wil when they were at the farm, script was largely ok. Acting was mostly fine. Jocel and Ivan showed noticeable improvements. I don't like Wil, but I like Ivan. Compared to previous episodes, audio-visuals were the same for the most part. The provincial rural setting was nice. Overall, I like this episode.
