Found incorrect info?
The whole series is like a pathetic attempt to make something similar to Skins. But the dramas here are cheap, and the characters are plastic.
Thank you at least for some movement and the development of events in recent episodes, but it still did not help to save the situation.
Nevertheless, the castes should be selected not by pretty faces, but by talent, and it is advisable not to blur the script with continuous tragedies.
It's a pity, although it was scanty, but the potential was there.
The actions of the characters, in most cases, are not clear and logical, the scriptwriters tried to add more drama, but it turned out to be some kind of nonsense.
Humor is generally a problem, all this drama should be diluted with a couple of good jokes.
There are too many soundtracks that are out of place and distract attention, sometimes drowning out the actors' lines.
The picture is not bad, the panoramic views are well shot, the color scheme of the series is also on the level.
So far, I'm giving 2 stars for some interesting storylines, which, although catastrophically few, are still there.
Let's see what happens next.
