I don’t know yet what to make of Be My Favourite? I really like Gawin’s acting here, its spectacular and charming as always. Krist is someone I cannot figure out. (Prefacing this to say I haven’t seen any of his previous work and this is my first impression of him and its still building, I haven’t written him off okay? Nobody come shout at me).
Is Krist annoying or is Kawi annoying? If Kawi is annoying, is it because he’s written shittily or is that the point of his character? Is Krist then that good of an actor? Is the story a stroke of genius or contrived writing? I can’t make sense of it!
We can say that Kawi is a person who lives in his head and in his regrets and is stuck as a person. He is childish at 30 because he never grew up, he never let go of what could have been so he never became anything. And now, he gets to grow and really learn for himself what he can do if he just lets himself. And I really want that for him!! But so many things are making me doubt if this is how the show will treat Kawi because he gives up on his friend (Max -- Aou!! Aou, its so good to see you!! The pink highlights look so good!) and his dad!! HIS DEAD DAD Y’ALL!! HE JUST ACCEPTS THE WHOLE DEATH HAPPENS THING! He also immediately turns to exploit Pisaeng for money and like -- you can write that into his character but I have my doubts about it. Which is why I cannot disregard that maybe he’s just written to be annoying start to finish (which will make watching this show so painful because he behaves like a spoilt 5 year old and I cannot stand that).
It’s paced well, I will give it that. They didn’t stretch the whole gotta-tell-Pear thing and I am so grateful for it. The ending of EP 2 was also good and I really do see the potential for this to be a great series, with well rounded characters and a sound plot. But I’m not willing to bet on it yet. Be My Favourite -- I really hope you come through just because there is so much potential and I would hate to see it wasted.

so i think we can all agree that My Lady Jane is one of the best new series on any streaming platforms. like, enemy-to-lovers tension, arranged marriage, magic (sorta), history (sorta), knives, and Dominic Cooper being the villain: it as it all!!

actually being a star wars fan is praying that the characters you like never show up in the new material because you know for a fact that they'll get done dirty
