Plotless Product Placement Fest

Why have a plot when you can have a sequence of advertisements? This must have been the production team's thinking process when they created this episode, and I am not having it. I approached this series with an open mind, although I knew about the criticism that it is getting from viewers. I decided to forget about the tragically underdeveloped alternate-universe storyline and focused on the sweet college romance. Now that I have seen episode seven, though, I understand where the disappointed viewers are coming from. I also felt insulted. Not only is the plot still not progressing even a little, but also the lack of such is substituted by dragging scenes of unfunny comedy and unnecessary drama in a desperate attempt to keep the viewers invested. What I liked most about this series – the wholesome relationship of Talay and Puen – was destroyed in the most clichéd way possible. Furthermore, several things, especially the time skip of one year, make no sense. So frustrating.
The only good thing about this episode was, as usual, the beautiful cinematography.
