O Patinho Feio: Compaixão Por Uma Garota (2015)

[HONEST REVIEW]

I watched all 5 episodes in one night by fast-forwarding. I wouldn't be fast-forwarding if I am already hooked on EP01 but the thing is- I didn't. The casts are all pretty and handsome but their acting are a bit of ... or maybe the script was just isn't that good.

I recommend for you to watch the first episode online if you ever thought about downloading the drama. I literally downloaded this drama but ended up just fast-forwarding the whole thing, so- it's not okay. I should have been able to watch and download other worthy dramas.

I thought it would be as good as "Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match"- but it isn't.

That's all for my honest review :)

I watched Ugly Duckling: Don’t first and now I feel like I watched the Ugly Duckling Series in the wrong order but hey ho! Lol
I absolutely loved this series of UD! I think I should start looking at the order of the cast list because I was on the edge of my bed thinking I had SLS! Could’ve been because there were little things here and there in the drama that were distracting me from focussing 100% but thankfully I was wrong! Never felt such relief. :D 

The bad bits:

? Alice - her crying. Honestly I couldn’t tell if she was crying or laughing. I mean I’ve laughed until I’ve cried but you would definitely be able to tell the difference and I felt like she was a huge cry baby. It was very distracting but with a bit of practice/training I’m sure the actress would do better. 
? The aunt - not the character or even the actress but this was another thing that was very distracting to me and almost put me off. Her eyeshadow. At first I just thought her eye looked possessed because I didn’t see any of the white part and then I saw that she was actually looking downwards so her eyes weren’t fully open or when she blinked. (I know it may be silly to some viewers but it honestly doesn’t take much to scare/put me off but I got past it).

The good bits:

? Aston - I fell in love with him almost instantly. He’s kind, caring, helpful, considerate and just loveable.
? The storyline - not sure what it is but I do love a nice amnesia storyline. I wasn’t bored at all. I really liked that it had a mixture of school and friendships and not just about romance.  
? Fuyu - honestly I giggled every time someone said “P’Fuyu” lmao. His name alone is memorable, but on a serious note I really liked the bond between him and Aston. The acting felt natural to me.

Although I’ve only seen Pity Girl and Don’t, I feel like PG is my favourite at this point in time. It may or may not change once I’ve watched the other series but I will definitely be having another watch of this drama.

•The good story was badly done with the boring script and annoying acting.
I just wanted to finish this to know the ending. I skipped between the scenes, there wasnt comedy although they tried a lot with dialogues, but somewhere it seemed as double meaning dialogues, which personally hate very much.
•Acting-not even one actor i found good in this. Every one was so poor. I think a school drama group also would put a better show than this. I would blame director for this as he is the one to OK the scene.
•Music-no
•Rewatch- No, i wont recommend it. I think i wasted my time watching it. Thank god for skip button

Messy and forgettable, but not exactly horrible

This drama took me foreverrr to finish, despite being only five episodes. It just wasn't as enjoyable as "Perfect Match." I kind of dreaded watching the final two episodes and eventually just had to bite the bullet. I think it boils down to two factors: story and acting. First of all, the premise is ridiculous and tedious at times. I think GMMTV was overreaching with this amnesia wannabe Groundhog Day plot. While somewhat interesting, the writing and acting was just not there.

I genuinely liked all of the actors, Neen, Mouse, Nicky. They're all adorable. But... Neen was obviously too young for this role. Her acting was so cringey at times, though she had a few shining moments. Nicky and Mouse weren't horrible, but not exactly stand-outs. I wasn't too impressed with the supporting cast either. Though it was nice to see baby New! But not baby Off, I was so sad that his character was so creepy T_T

To conclude, this drama was pretty forgettable and probably not worth your time if you're a seasoned drama watcher. Now, if you're new or just wanna watch the whole Ugly Duckling series, I don't think it's too bad. There were a lot of moments I liked. The ending here was also better than "Perfect Match," though somewhat cobbled together.
