Okay... I know its a teen/college kid soap opera, so expectations shouldn’t be high, but seriously? Over dramatization. Predictable stories. Tacky, unimaginative dialogue. Bleh

Perhaps the series will be 4* overall - I feel like this one wasnt quite as entertaining as when we first met teen Rin but still dramatic and fun like a soap opera

Brilliant album - like a soap opera written with marriage and relationship breakdowns going on in the band, but despite of this, the band kept it going and produced this phenomenal album. (1 more)
It's their best work IMO.
  
Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Sunset Boulevard (1950)
1950 | Classics, Drama

"Everybody ends up dead or insane-slash-arrested. Nancy Olson is dismissed to wed Jack Webb — the real off-screen horror ending. Every performance is outlandish, as big as anything on any Mexican soap opera. The dead monkey. Buster Keaton. The fun never ends. The best noir comedy, ever."

Enjoyable, but "fluffy"
This is an enjoyable series that I've watched start to finish more then once. It's something that's serious enough to keep me interested but fluffy enough that you can't take things too seriously.

Normally, some novels start out slow and get better and more engaging from there. Unfortunately, with this book, it went the other way around. While the beginning was thrilling and gripping, the plot became progressively more disjointed and the dialogue was soap opera-like. The premise, however, is relevant and interesting.

"How is this not the hugest show? It’s the improbable combination of Barry Lyndon and The Shield. With its jaw-dropping act breaks and rug-pulling twists, this violent soap opera as social commentary on sex work boasts two acting legends (Samantha Morton and Lesley Manville) going toe-to-toe on a weekly basis."

If you are looking for a KDrama mixed with a Hallmark movie and a soap opera then you have stumbled upon the correct book.
While I do warn of a trigger warning for suicide this book is so adorably written. The main characters have such darkness and reflect what you would normally find in a Korean Drama or Soap Opera that you can't help but think what this would look like as one. The love story unfolds just as it would in the show, adorable, awkward, and takes forever.
If you are looking for a sweet read I do not know if this is for you. There are a lot of dark parts and unhappiness but it does end in a HEA.

DNF - Disappointed with the little bit that I read. I had hoped for something else something better but it was looking like a soap opera when I was hoping for more like a meet cute/hallmark romance story. I also didn't feel like reading more after the F bombs started. Oh well, I'll do read Christmas by Accident instead because that sounds much better to me.
