This three part mini series is a show that no one asked and was never needed. Sure, maybe 15 years ago, a basic storyline like this might have been ok for a short film but stretching it to almost an hour of mini series is a torture to anyone's sane mind. The series is so hollow and badly acted that I felt sorry for everyone involved.
One day in a street gunfight, an innocent bystander Night gets shot. His attacker is Time, whose friends make him feel guilty about the attack. They explain that Night is a poor orphaned child who can barely support himself. Time’s friends encourage him to apologize for the accident. Time goes to meet Night, apologizes to him and insists on taking care of him while he has a cast on his hand. He shows up regularly at his place helping him to go school and with food. Slowly they both start to gradually get used to each other and out of the blue, Night even gives him his home keys. Clearly there are unspoken feelings between them and after the one night that Time spends with him, he disappears for a few days. Turns out he had a girlfriend and now he needs to be true to himself.
This was a short little indie drama, so part of me does feel bad to just pull down someone's efforts, but come on, this series is just too weak and bad from every single angle. Story, acting, direction; the absurdity of it all. Who thought of the fact that one could hand over your house keys to a total stranger, in fact, the one who actually shot you. I was like WTF! And only days afterwards, you finally learn what his name is. It just keeps getting worse. The shyness and the coyness that both characters display by looking here and there or biting lips or smiling is so damn annoying. I am also so tired of most of these series bringing in the cliched girlfriend angle out of nowhere and now the person has to choose. The mediocrity of this show is at another level and I blame most o fit to the most nonsensical script ever written. The inadequate boring so called romance of the leads just doesn't connect with anyone. (2/10)
