You’ll need tissues and ice cream, trust me

I got a lot more than I expected. I knew there was going to be some unrequited love, secret crush on your best friend kind of thing. But I did not expect there to be so much heartache. I spend most of the series wanting to either slap some sense into Khai or Third or both! They were both flawed, but I feel like their flaws made the plot and the series seem so realistic. They truly takes us through an emotional rollercoaster.

I think the actors (not just the main ones) have great chemistry between each other. I felt like the dynamics between them were amazing. There was a lot shown through just looks and the fact they can portray so much emotion through their eyes is absolutely amazing. They are especially good at showing longing for the character they like.

Khai & Third: I wasn’t sure what kind of ending I wanted for them – do I want them together or should they both just get with someone else? Third’s love for Khai is something I truly couldn’t understand at first. Khai seemed to be treating him very poorly while claiming he is his best friend. But then there were moments where we got to see some interactions that made me think that must be Khai that Third loves. The Khai that wasn’t really shown because it would make him too likeable too fast. Third is someone who gives his all to those around him, if they deserve it or not. Khai, on the other hand, is selfish and arrogant, used to girls falling down at his feet. I know how hard moving on from someone can be, especially if it's someone that is close to you. Which means I can understand why Third found it so hard to move on from Khai, not matter how bad he treated him. But then we get to the second half of the series where we get to see things from Khai’s perspective. And I did start to feel some sympathy for him. The scenes when he realizes that he was a terrible friend and terrible human being and just how much hurt he caused Third were the ones that left a lot of impact. I think we got to see a different side of him. Not only that, but he really showed a lot of character growth, and he tried his best to change to be someone worthy of Third’s love. Sadly, he was too stupid to realize how important Third is to him until he lost him.

I am not a fan of the fact that someone of the scenes where Third was crying (namely the shower ones) were done as a comic relief. The rest of the series was quite heavy, so these scenes seemed kind of out of place. But talking about comic scenes, I really enjoyed the opening scene of the first episode – Third was doing review of every possible “I’m in love with my best friend” movie while Khai was clueless in the back of the videos. I feel like that really showed us how stupid and clueless Khai can be. And the fact that each episode was named after one of the RomCom classics was fun. I have seen all of the movies mentioned and I can see why they were used as the episode titles.

I don’t think my problem with Khai and Third possibly being the end game is in who Khai was before. He was a player, a womanizer, someone who didn’t really appreciate those around him. To me, those are all forgivable things. What I find very hard to forgive is the way he treated Third, especially when he thought that Third might have a crush on him. That is something that made me hate him from the bottom of my heart. Not only was he a terrible friend (from what we could see) up until then, but he went out of his way to hurt him. Again and again.

Two and Bone are great friends to both Khai and Third. They both made some very questionable decisions, I am not going to deny that, but they were there for their friends when they needed them most. When Third was suffering, they were there for him. When Khai decided to try and win Third over, they were there for him as well. They were both fully supportive of their friends throughout the series.

I am a bit sad that their stories were not developed more though. I think pairing Two with Un was an interesting choice, but definitely not one I am against. I think the two match each other quite well. Pairing Bone with Paan on the other hand made me feel all sorts of things. I did like the idea of him dating someone a bit older, a bit more mature, but I had a weird feeling about it from the moment the two talked for the first time. The first plot twist was not really something that surprised me. But the second one? Damn, that one hurt. I do feel like Bone’s love for Paan was a bit too quick – he knew nothing about her, it felt more like physical attraction to me, a crush, than real love. To be honest, love is a word that seemed to be thrown around quite a lot in this series (even with Khai and his parade of girlfriends).

I think that Two’s and Khai’s confusion about their sexuality is something that was done incredibly well. Both characters were only interested in girls up to this point in their life. Developing feelings for a man caused both of them a lot of confusion, it made them question themselves. Although I feel like Khai was more troubled by the fact he developed feelings for his best friend.

I enjoyed the fact that they actually included a lot of their university work in the storyline. I feel like we often don’t see any schoolwork that the characters need to do, they are just put into the university because that’s what sells.

I'll finish the review with a quote from How to be a Wallflower that was used in the series and that I believe can really summarize a lot of what we got to see: "We accept the love we think we deserve."
