First episode, I had no knowledge of what I was getting into and it was a dumpster fire of confusion. But I’m a man on a mission, and I keep pushing through because I saw the first episode of the RamKing retrospective, I know deep down, there is a light at the end of that tunnel.

And on some level, I was right because every time Perth was in a scene everything brightened up, and like jesus, his visual acting is so incredible and that it’s like he is just completely blowing every other couple out of the water with a single expression. He’s my best boy and I was here for him and King and I stayed that way.

The main couple kind of melted my brain, but I did really enjoy their friend groups though! They were fun and added humor and made me enjoy a lot of parts and kept me somewhat invested in things that weren’t RamKing and it’s because of them I finished the show.

The couples, in order of enjoyment:

-RamKing: 100/10, they are the golden couple making it all worth it, the reward amidst the drama, the reason I keep going, this a Jane Austen Shakespearean type romance of communication and heartfelt vulnerability and intimacy amidst their dumpster fire friends, the actors have incredible chemistry and were carrying this show on their backs

-BossMek: Definitely cheesy but I’m a sucker for pining and being in love with your best friend and the whole selfless sacrifice of love trope and the totally no married couple, so I had fun with them. Also Mek looked like a sobbing wet poor little meow meow of a kicked puppy like 95% of the time and I loved that

-BohnDuen: It’s 3:00 am, I’ve lost control of my life and I just want to feel something again so I’ve turned to this

-FrongThara: Burn it from my brain, I didn’t see it, it does not exist, somehow both blander than boiled chicken??? Didn’t think that was possible. The type of thing I read one paragraph and immediately exit out of and try and get some bleach for my mind because a few sentences turned me off a theoretically fun story that much. I don’t man but every time they are on screen I was like I will even take more BohnDuen, please just end my suffering

Overall though:

- I am a raccoon so I always have some fun with trashy media, so I spent a good amount of time cackling at things

-“Duen is my wife!”/“Bohn is the bottom!” My brothers in Christ neither of you are getting laid in the first place

-Me every time Ram was shown: There he is! There’s my favorite boy!!

-Seriously every single on Ram’s expressions and actions mean everything to me, they are *chef’s kiss* perfection

-By episode 9, I decided I no longer had time for all this and my brain was starting to fizzle out, but I refused to give up because I was already invested in a.) finding out how the fuck this show is going to end with it’s buckwild plot b.) I wanted to know what’s going to happen with RamKing and BossMek and I wanted to know the context for them, and every single Ram and King individual scene so I refused to give up

-So what I’d do is put the episodes on 2x speed and then when Ram or King showed up, I’d put in back on normal speed so I could enjoy them properly. If it was BossMek or the friend groups, I’d have on 1.5x-1.25x speed depending on my investment level

-This show was trippy experience from beginning to end and kind of a complete train wreck at times and the camping subplot was the weirdest thing and I still don’t fully know why they had it and there were far too many times where I had no fucking clue what was going on or what the point of this subplot was but I definitely had some fun watching it and got a good amount of enjoyment

-The one couple that kept me going, the only reason I was here and I pushed through everything for, didn’t officially get together!

-RamKing had a tent kiss, they shared a bed, I finally thought everything was coming together for this beautiful slowburn strangers to friends to lovers relationship of intimacy and vulnerability and kindness! I had won, I had totally won!

-And then King wanted to pretend it never happened, put me through the five stages of grief in the course of like 5 minutes, Ram thankfully didn’t forget but King left to go to his grandma’s house with no communication or indication of what’s going to happen moving forward.

-It’s fine we’re fine I’m not dying on the inside

-It’s not like they said they were doing a season 2 and then there’s been no word about season 2and I desperately want to know what happens with RamKing

-Well at least I can console myself with Perth’s RamKing retrospective!
