Ploy's Yearbook hit all the cliches of bad fanfics.

I’ve only seen 7 episodes and was going to wait and finish to give my review but if all of the couples are going to resolve their problems in a similar fashion then it’s pointless.

I had zero tolerance for this series; the more I forced myself to sit through their ‘reasonings’ the more I wanted to pull out my hair. Even at 5x speed, this series doesn’t get any easier to watch. My biggest issue is I had high expectations for this show because of the talented cast and new pairings but it was a big bust.

Let's pretend it makes sense that none of the 10 mains cared or noticed that the phone numbers were incorrect after 10 years, it doesn't make sense to blame ONE Ploy for it when all of them worked on it. This series makes less and less sense the more I watch it.

How did Mek, who was tutoring Pretty Ploy not have her number? Why didn’t Kram have Prof’s number when they’ve lived together for a while?? It’s funny that the Yearbook is more of a phonebook. How can all these supposedly close peers not have each other’s numbers after 3-4 years? If this was my friend group, I’d rather not have friends.

I love the actors but not the characters. They’re all poorly written in stupid ways. What’s worse is this is a character-driven series and when the characters suck, there’s very little hope for the overall show. This series is simply a side project for these well-known actors to do in between large projects. I’ve never seen good and decent actors perform more badly. Bunch of robots. Even the actors seemed bored in the Behinds. Whoever wrote and directed this had no grasp of who and how the characters should be. The characters’ emotions do not fit the weight of the situation. Despite their different backgrounds and characteristics, they all share the same level of lower intelligence. All of Kram’s decisions up to episode 7 make sense if this was a bad fanfic. Prof Ploy is praised as the smartest because otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen such a heroic man–she’s yet to impress me with her higher intelligence. The characters’ dialogue is middle-school level at best.
Don’t get me started on Prof bragging about manipulating Kram into marrying her and then acting like the victim when she, not him, SHE thought he didn’t agree to it out of love. Seriously! Someone, please shoot me (side rant: Why did Mek casually grab and deliver the drinks for them as if they’ve just magically appeared and no one might have left them after eavesdropping? Is Mek really the nerd?).

I don’t understand how the show’s biggest attraction is to have a group of adults in their late 20s, early 30s blame and rely on one woman to fix their lives. Lives that don’t need fixing. Except for the lack of a lover, the characters are well off and have time to socialize and hang out with old high school acquaintances. It’s even more cringy that they are counting on Prez Ploy to fix their LOVE lives.

Istg this series was trying to set the record for the most pointless flashbacks. Sadly it backlashed more than anything as the flashbacks exposed the inconsistency of high school and were only used to support moments in the present. As the series’ flashbacks progressed, characters that didn’t hang out in high school suddenly did, and characters that weren’t close suddenly were.

I’ve always loathed it when GMM brings in guns and/or action. They need to hire action choreographers because their action scenes are way too unserious. Takes me out of the moment.

The only way for me to complete this series is if someone were to put a gun to my head. As much as I love the actors, I cannot put up with lackluster writing and horrible execution. If the creative team in charge of this series doesn’t care then why should I?

Overall score was a 4 but I'm taking out .5 pts for Prof and Kram testing my sanity. And Thap needs to get over it or get out of Prez's life.
