Sexy Central (2019)

A surprisingly decent drama with a disappointing final episode

'Sexy Central' is a surprisingly decent drama with a disappointing final episode, although the current overall rating of 6.8 is still quite harsh. Honestly, the overall rating was the reason I started watching it. From what I saw, it seemed like one of those "so bad it's good" dramas, but it was genuinely good. What I loved most about this drama were the characters and sismance. When it comes to sismance, this is one of the best dramas I have seen with this. The characters in the group were great, they were all surprisingly likeable and their personalities were written and portrayed well. Some points of the story felt a little rushed, and I'm pretty sure there is one or perhaps two plot holes, but I managed to overcome them quite well since the subtitles provided by Netflix weren't the best, meaning I can't fully blame the drama for this - perhaps it is a full fault from the people providing the subtitles!

A few things I didn't like were the production value (mainly in the camera work, but also in directing). Also, like I mentioned before, the plot holes. Most actors played their part, especially the main cast, but I felt like quite a few of the supporting cast had quite a significant drop in quality when it came to the craft. Re-watch value is a tad lower than what I hoped too. The final episode really was a let down, honestly, and the reason I have given this an overall rating of 7.5 where previously I thought an 8 was the lowest rating I was going to give. Although 'Sexy Central' is one of those dramas where your head will want to rate this drama really low, but your heart will want to rate this really highly.

Anyways, I do recommend people to watch 'Sexy Central'. It seems like hardly anyone has watched this, which is honestly quite sad. It's definitely not a bad drama at all. It was surprisingly good.

This drama is short and sweet... once you get into it. After the first couple of episodes, I still wasn't sold on it but I'm glad I stuck with it because I did end up enjoying the drama. The drama kind of throws you in at the deep end, each episode is only half an hour so there are no proper introductions to the characters in my opinion; I think that is why it takes so long to get into it. The drama starts and you are right in the middle of the story straight away, basically a group of 5 women living their best lives in Hong Kong. They are all late twenties to thirty (I think), they love to party, have to focus on their careers and are trying to find Mr Right but in the end, this drama is about friendship and how important it is to these women.
I am still slightly confused by the end of each episode - the "episode" will end but then there is a minute or so of some women being interviewed (mainly about the party scene in Hong Kong), I have no idea who these women are, are they who the characters in the drama were based on? I have no idea but after a few episodes, I got used to it and actually found some of the insights and stories from "real women" quite interesting.
Finally, I just want to say that I was blown away by Adam Pak's performance in this drama! Why isn't he in more shows/films???
