I must say that few times I have seen series that are so bad and uncomfortable and cringe in practically every second and at the same time these elements made it so captivating, I don't know if because of the discomfort or simply because I needed to know when else they could repeat the same episode and again.

The story itself is very basic, nothing we would not have seen before, two college students who are attracted to each other, but the way everything is handled is so weird that we need to talk about it, why the Editing this series is so uncomfortable? from the beginning it gives you the feeling that there are disconnected scenes in the same episode, they do not follow a clear narrative and there is no consistency between one fragment and another. Each and every one of the episodes follow the same structure: exaggeratedly uncomfortable conversations between friends that we are not plausible, soccer, bars and alcohol, Jin drunk, BBomb picking up Jin, they go to sleep in the room of the first, then they fight over something that nobody understands or because of jealousy and in the end they reconcile, end of the episode. All the episodes are the same, over and over again, nobody bothered to write a story, a script, a development, something.

Let's start with: the relationship between Jin and BBomb is a disaster, I really don't understand why they are a couple, it is true that BBomb is interested in Jin from the beginning, but the latter seems to only accept being with BBomb a victim of circumstances, since everything your environment is in charge of manipulating your relationship; there is no one who does not come between these two, and it is difficult to tell if Jin's feelings are genuine or not, we have chapters where he talks about being ashamed to be with BBomb, others where he treats him badly or ignores him, only when he leaves him or does not answer his calls, once, then if we see him upset, but I think it is worth asking if it is really love or is he just being dependent on it, I think it is clear from the beginning that Jin is someone that you need to be in a relationship to be happy and he like to have the admiration of others.

BBomb is not a better character, he behaves like a child all the time, he does not have any maturity and does not evolve in the least in the whole series, he is capricious and has a crush on Jin because of a stupidity, he really does not even know him; His jealousy is ridiculous, if someone breathes close to where Jin is, he already doubts his relationship, gets angry about everything and refuses to face the problems head-on, not even at the end when he should seek to talk to Jin and reach an agreement, instead he decides to flee and be offended without giving explanations.

Also, it seems so implausible to me that the series insists that Jin and BBomb sleep every night in the same room, but they tell us that nothing has ever happened between them, and at this point I do not say that it necessarily has to happen or that the series has to show it far from it, but we are talking that they are young, normal, healthy adults who love each other and do not even have moments where you feel that they have that attraction for each other; It is not necessary for them to kiss (because their kisses were so uncomfortable) but at least in their looks, in their gestures or expressions, it would be expected that they were there.

Friends, they are probably the worst group of friends I have ever seen, their intentions are not good or honest, they are not doing their best for their friends, they are only getting involved in their lives because they have nothing better to do and they do it from the worst possible way, behind his back; also individually they do not contribute anything, they have no personality, their stories do not matter and the only thing the series does is give us an aspect of them and exploit it throughout the series: the friend who is a stalker, the one who fights with the girlfriend, the one who is sad knows why, the one who is angry, those of music that only serve for that; they are the flattest characters and without jokes that I have seen in a series and I do not know why they tried to emphasize their love relationships so as not to get anywhere at all with that and for that I am only going to take Keam as an example, he is a character unintelligible, at first it seems that he has feelings for Jin, an issue that remains nowhere, then he seems to have feelings for Ball, an issue that remains nowhere, there are a lot of chapters where we see him to drink and suffer like a condemned man and nobody knows why he is after that and his friends do not care exactly the same, I do not understand that you need to have a lot of characters, if they can not even write one that is decent.

Alcohol in this series is a serious issue, it seems that the characters have a serious problem with it, grated in addiction, it cannot be that each chapter we have them drunk and filling up bars and not because it is condemned that this happens, but because it makes no sense within the "universe" where the characters are supposed to exist, they are college students and can go to bars and parties every night and it has no consequence or impact on their lives, literally the characters spend more time drunk than sober in the series; this applies to everything else we see them do, everything except being students, they have time for everything, soccer, shitty plays (I'm not saying that when you're in college you don't have time for these things, of course you do), I saw a comment that said that they represented well what it was to be a young university student and the reality is that no, the series does not raise one of the conflicts that involve living that stage of life and having to balance their personal and love relationships.

There are very few series where I dare to say that the performances are bad, almost always chose to believe that when the performances are uncomfortable it is due to bad direction, but in this series I cannot justify what happened, the performances are horrible, they feel so uncomfortable and unnatural at all times, that it is painful to see, especially of the main actors on whom the whole weight of the series falls and from whom a quality of work is expected at least within the average; both Jom and Noh are rookie actors and I understand that the series had a limited budget and script, I hope that in the future if they follow the path of acting they can deliver better roles, Natty is probably the only one who will save a little from this trial is within what is much more effective in her role, she feels more realistic and her dramatic scene convinces. What happened with Kao and Turbo seems to me a topic that we should touch on, honestly they are only here because they have some fame for their supposed relationship, which I do not know if it is true or not, but it does not matter, it does not matter if in life they are actually a couple or not, the important thing when creating a series is that the characters you have fulfill a function within your story and not only serve to create hype, it seems to me a very cheap trick on the part of the production.

As for the rest of the elements of the series, it is noticeable that the budget was not exactly large, the series is made in few locations and the assembly elements do not stand out in any respect, but when you have these limitations your efforts should go to build a good narrative and a credible script things that failed here spectacularly.

I think it is clear after all this criticism that Nitiman is a series that I do not enjoy and it is the truth, I understand that there are people who like it and found it compelling, but I cannot put aside everything in which I think it fails, especially in the edition, I think that the series must at least have a certain quality to be able to be transmitted and this one does not get it, even so I finished watching it because I wanted to see how they were going to handle the series without evolution or plot and enjoy the process of discuss and complain about this with my friends every week, there is nothing wrong with you liking this series, tastes are subjective, but we must recognize and demand that we deserve better quality series.
