609 Bedtime Story (2022)

It's a good series, but needed work.

I did enjoy the over all of the series, I love the actors as they are always amazing, especially the leads. There was a few down part for me like Dew storyline, I found my self fast forwarding with his story, I was not a fan of it and it did not fit at all. The whole bad uncle and forgiving is bull he needs to go to jail. The story got very confusing a lot and hard to follow. This had the potential to be a great story, but lacked direction with two many issues going on all at one time with the sister being obsessed with Dew, then the bad uncle, then the father being horrible to Dew, the to many assassination times, to much going on. But I did enjoy Mum story and where that want, the series would have been better if with out the Dew drama. The second couple was cute story between Game and Vee as well. Overall it's a great series just needs a better second storyline the Dew character.

You might need to draw diagrams for this one....

I have to admit, I love to see Ohm acting and having dialogue. I seem to see him being the strong, silent type too much. And he and Fluke....I hope they like each other, as much as they are paired together. Their chemistry isn't off-the-charts or anything, but it is there. So I don't mind watching them.

This drama though...I had to turn my brain upside down to keep up with the parallel worlds and space-time continuum. There were a few times that I had to stop the drama and draw diagrams in my head to keep up. I finally just gave up and accepted whatever the script said. The only other problem I had was the awful inserted kiss sounds....like, couldn't they have just taped a mic to their cheeks on the unfilmed side for the real kisses?? I was embarrassed for the whole show when I heard those dubbed kisses.

Other than that, it was ok. I enjoyed hearing the songs, and I kinda love Ohm's sultry, sexy looks. The support cast did a pretty good job (some of them did a REALLY good job), although if I'd heard Aun whine one more time I might have actually dropped the show. Or a bottle on his head. Whichever.

I did not watch both endings. I will have to go back and see the other ending. If you don't know, there is an ep. 11.1 and an ep 11.2 version. I can't even tell you which one I watched, as I didn't understand that at the end of ep 10, they were telling us to pick one. But I think it's cool that they did that. 'Choose your own adventure' is always fun.

If you haven't watched this but want to give it a go, I'd suggest not trying to keep up with which Dew is which, and which Mum is which, and the past vs. future events. Just trust that they are who they say they are, didn't go to the wrong universe, and understood what each had already experienced. Because they left a HUGE plot hole with that last traveler....

My suggestion is just enjoy the show. Don't try to understand it.

An original scenario for a series quite pleasant to watch

It's true that this series has some flaws: some scenes are too long while others lack depth. The multiverse stories are not explained enough. Once again we are served the "I'm not gay but". I specify that this concept has strictly nothing to do with pansexuality. It's just that the writers refuse to accept that a masculine man can be gay.

But beyond that, we have quite good actors, a rather interesting story and the will to make a different series. It's pleasant to watch and we don't get bored.

I didn't see the first ending. I just watched the ending 11.2 "Wake Up" and I admit that it's rather sloppy. It's not very believable and a bit of a slog. Some topics are totally forgotten but maybe they are covered in the original ending?

All in all, even if it's not the best series of all time, we have a good time. I recommend it.

Interesting premise but turns out messy

Although parallel-universe plots seem to be getting a little overdone these days, the series still had an interesting premise. Mum wanting to save Dew's life by traveling to an parallel universe is an engaging character goal. Unfortunately, as the story progresses, it gets a tad too messy and bizarre. It can be rather hard to follow (even more so w ahen third parallel universe emerges while the first two parallel universes are not even clearly sorted out). The rather interesting mystery regarding the identity of the person wanting to kill Dew also fizzles out and gets lost in a tangled mess.

To complicate matters further, there is one Mum and one Dew in each parallel universe. This isn't unexpected, but while we start with the idea that Mum in Universe 1 falls in love with Dew from Universe 2 and that the same people can have at least slightly different personalities across the universes, we also end up with the characters behaving as though their love interest in one universe can actually be substituted with their counterpart in another universe: Mum 1 loves Dew 2, but after failing to save Dew 2's life, Mum 1 somehow falls for Dew 1, practically treating Dew 1 as a substitute. Perhaps there is some deep philosophical question to be explored here, but I don't really see it being explored. And it can destroy our sense that the characters are even truly in love.

Eventually, what is there to love about this series? You can take away the parallel universe concept entirely and I dare say most viewers are not going to miss it. You can even make Mum and Dew characters who are not in parallel universes (just turn it into some time travel premise), and the story might well turn out better. In fact, you can even turn Mum and Dew into the side couple and the story might just become better. It seems that what is universally loved is Wee and Game, the side couple who really deserve to be the main couple in a story without any parallel universe premise. And this shows how the main story falls flat.

Interesting start

This is my second Ohm/Fluke series and it’s off to an interesting start. Story and timeline of events happening is certainly unique. It keeps me wanting to know what’s going to happen next. Production seem excellent, with the color palette being pleasing to the eye, fight scenes choreographed well, and the timing of scenes is good. The acting is good as well, with Ohm being believable as a playboy who doesn’t really take anything too seriously. The characters are all interesting at the moment such as Ohm’s character and his feisty sister, and the dialogue is good. Music is excellent, particularly the theme song. Since the series has only aired 2 episodes, I will update my rating as more are released. As of now, the series is living up to my expectations and keeping me glued in.
