This was interesting. It was an enjoyable watch. I had a good time for most of it. The last couple of episodes dragged a bit for me so I was glad it was a 12 episode and not 16 episode show.
The reason I wanted to write a review is because of an issue I didn't fully notice I had until the last few episodes. The couple's chemistry was dry and lacked much passion. And that seemed to be a directorial decision and not because the actors lacked chemistry. I could literally see the potential for it in what the actors were given to work with but they were given so little! These actors are also 40 years old, playing characters in their mid 30's, so I could not understand why they were so romantically stiff. Far more than their teenage counterparts. I don't understand the directors choice.
Another point of issue, is how drabby they made the FL. And how stiff they made the ML. In the beginning, I understood her wardrobe as a manifestation of the aftermath of what had come of her life (avoiding spoilers) and his wardrobe to represent the "coldness" he was approaching the situation. But overtime, her look did become less PE teacher night and day into something more aged and boring. It did her zero justice. And ML couldn't even tone down to a more casual look. I was suffocating on the tightness of his ties.
This show could have been imbued with more passion between the leads, more recognition of the Adult relationship they developed and I think that would have been useful. But it was still a good show and I had a good time watching it.
