00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.960
Welcome to My vertical Obsession, and today we are talking
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.080
about sense and sense Ability to Faded Mates, which is
3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:12.519
on Callos TV, the app and for the synopsis for
4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.080
this one. It is after a night with her boss, William,
5
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.600
Sophie is unaware her friend uses a potion to switch
6
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.120
their sense and steal her identity as Williams faded me.
7
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.160
Tricked by the spell, will William discover the truth about
8
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.559
the two faded mates. And this stars Grace Williams Swanson
9
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.920
as Sophie Scott, Noah Fernley as William Hopper, and Taylor
10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.759
Anna Danehauer as Samantha Cook. So how I kind of
11
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.600
broke this down is that after sleeping with her boss
12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.679
and not believing he was her faded me, Sophie goes
13
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.320
back to life as normal. William goes looking for Sophie,
14
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.320
not knowing it was her, and ends up finding Samantha
15
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.159
or Sam, who ends up using magic to fake their
16
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.600
mate bond by switching sense between her and Sophie. William
17
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.520
can tell that there's something off and not right and
18
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.280
keeps saying at arm's length while keeping Sophie closer to him.
19
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.719
Sam does everything she can to keep William away from
20
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.319
Sophie and closer to her. Only isshat tempt backfires only
21
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.400
went Sophie's friend Jimmy finally tells her the truth about
22
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.439
the one thing Sam's been holding over her head. Do
23
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.239
they realize that Sam's been playing them, they work together
24
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.359
to expose her and bring her down that way they
25
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.959
can finally be together. And this is one of those
26
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.640
verticals and series that's actually a couple years old, if
27
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.879
not a year old, so it's been out for a
28
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.760
little bit. It's one of the ones that I really
29
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.879
enjoyed with Noah and one of the early ones I
30
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.879
think I watched with Noah. So I wanted to come
31
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.280
back and do this one as a review because I said,
32
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.840
I'm trying to do ones from the past as well
33
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.200
as newer ones, trying to kind of talk about them
34
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.640
all that I can. I actually had to go looking
35
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.599
for this one because I was like, which series and
36
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.000
which app is this one on? Because I forgot I
37
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.840
just remembered the name of it. I just forgot which
38
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:03.719
app it was part of. We all know that there
39
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.120
are quite a few out there, but so some of
40
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.800
the things that I had for questioning of this series
41
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:15.800
was definitely the whole plot and point of Sophie's pregnancy.
42
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.120
That one never made sense to me at all when
43
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.719
it came to this series. Because Sophie has symptoms and
44
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.960
thinks she might be pregnant, so she goes to the
45
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.240
doctor who runs the test says she's pregnant, and then
46
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.199
she continues to have the symptoms and some morning sickness
47
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.800
from time to time, until eventually one day Sam comes
48
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.199
by gives her some pills she calls vitamins, and that
49
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.479
same day she ends up in the hospital thinking she
50
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.280
had a miscarriage. But then the doctor, which is the
51
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.599
same doctor who told her she was pregnant, says, oh, no,
52
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.719
you were never pregnant to begin with. False positives are rare,
53
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.919
they can happen, and then asks about the vitamins and
54
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:00.639
when he looks at them, he's like, no, this is
55
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.039
miss opress Stone and saying that these can act like
56
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.120
pregnancy symptoms to a woman. But I'm like, she only
57
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.000
just got them, only just took one, so there's no
58
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.840
way that that is possible. So it's like, why put
59
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.159
that in there if she was never pregnant to begin with.
60
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.840
It just that whole they just kind of never made
61
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.240
sense to me unless it was just one of those
62
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.280
things where it was her mind making her think she
63
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.039
was having all these symptoms from being pregnant because she
64
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.280
was told she was pregnant. But this is just like
65
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.919
that whole whole thing kind of didn't make sense to me.
66
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.000
It would have made sense if she had gotten the
67
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.120
pills a lot sooner than she did, then maybe okay,
68
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.400
we could explain it away. But it just it was
69
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.400
just one of those things where I was like, I'm
70
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.000
so confused. I feel like there's something missing here that
71
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.919
should be explained a little bit more, or maybe I'm
72
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.840
just not fully understanding how that whole scenario and situation
73
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.719
worked as a whole. It was just always went always
74
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.120
something that really kind of confused me, and even rewatching
75
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.479
it again, I still don't quite understand it. But one
76
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.080
of the things that I did like is the whole
77
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.199
switching up the sense between Sophie and Sam, the whole
78
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.720
wolf's scent between Sophie and Sam, and William realizing off
79
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.199
the bat when he meets Sam that there's something off
80
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.120
about her, that she's not truly who he thinks she
81
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.639
should be, like her scent is telling him this is
82
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.519
who he was with, but he could still feel that
83
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.560
there was something not right, So it almost made it
84
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.439
seem like the faded mate bond was a lot stronger
85
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.319
than just simply the scent of the mate, because he
86
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.279
kept being drawn to Sophie and he kept wanting to
87
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.920
be with Sophie, and he didn't like seeing her with
88
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.639
other wolves, especially men, or being talked about by other men,
89
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.920
so it's like he's still kind of had the sense
90
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.439
that Sophie was who he was supposed to be with,
91
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.399
not Sam, even though Sophie and Sam had switched wolf sense.
92
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.639
So I kind of felt that the main bond that
93
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.720
they had definitely could see past the rus and magic
94
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.399
in a way to be able to find each other,
95
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.040
so it wasn't easily fooled as someone could be had
96
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.600
they used magic. So I kind of really liked that
97
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:26.040
that was almost like a deeper meaning within the series
98
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.319
that even though Sam had the scent of his faded mate,
99
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.759
he didn't fall for it, that he could still sense
100
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.319
that there was something off and that he shouldn't be
101
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.759
with her. He still wanted to do right by her
102
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.839
because that's how he felt he should, especially since he
103
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.879
thought that she was the one he slept with that night,
104
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.480
even though deep down he felt like maybe it wasn't
105
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.680
her after all, but he still kept being drawn to
106
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.480
Sophie and wanting to be with Sophie. I'd like when,
107
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.639
you know, the Wolf series and the Werewolf series do
108
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.120
this where they, you know, magic kind of keeps them
109
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.839
from their mates, but they are still drawn to their mates,
110
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.079
because it kind of shows that the mate barond is
111
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:12.079
a lot stronger than anything else, that magic can't fully
112
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.199
manipulate it. And I love when they show that, even
113
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.759
if it's small details and not really big or orchestrated
114
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.920
as big gestures, because I know there are some Werewolf
115
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.160
series I think that kind of do that where it's
116
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.240
like you say, you're my fated mate, but I don't
117
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.480
believe it, so I'm going to go over here and
118
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.879
try and find someone else. So it's kind of like
119
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.480
some of them, they it's a little bit more prominent,
120
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.639
others it's a little bit more low key and small details,
121
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.600
and I love that it just kind of gives you
122
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.839
this sense that true love and true mates can find
123
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.639
a way to each other no matter what's put in
124
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.079
their path. So when it comes to this one my
125
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.079
brain tends to forget that it is a werewolf series
126
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.120
because there's not a lot of werewolf in the series.
127
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.600
I mean, they talk about the werewolf Sophie talks about
128
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.519
like her werewolf awakening. They talk about Luna and finding
129
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.480
Luna and all that, and the faded Mates, and you
130
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.360
see like the Alpha Red Eyes, but it's not as
131
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.240
prominent shown that this is a were wolf series like
132
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.360
some of the other ones, where you see people bringing
133
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.439
out their claws to fight someone that they think is
134
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.000
a danger, or the tee to kind of like fear
135
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.240
people cause fear in people. So it's like some things
136
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.720
like that that are more prominent in certain werewolf series,
137
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.639
it wasn't in this one. In a sense. It was
138
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.639
more kind of low key, and this was more like
139
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.519
a billionaire storyline with an added werewolf element to it,
140
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.720
which I think they kind of did that a little
141
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.879
bit more starting off, is that it wasn't as prominent
142
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.480
werewolf series type stories. I feel there were a couple
143
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.959
like that, but this one was definitely one of those
144
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.920
that if they didn't mention like the Luna or the
145
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.079
Wolf Awakening, you might not have realized it was a
146
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.480
were wolf series. Might have just thought it was like
147
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.360
a billionaire series falling for his secretary, which is fine
148
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.120
because it's still a cute story either way, but the
149
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.319
whole point of the series is faded mates too. So
150
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.040
one of the other questions I definitely had for this
151
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.879
was why Sam hated Sophie so much, because I don't
152
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.480
think it was ever really mentioned. I know she Sam
153
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.920
kind of yelled at Sophie about how it's like, why
154
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.079
do you get everything? Type of argument, and another one
155
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.759
where she's like, well, now everyone's finally looking at me
156
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.200
and I'm finally doing well, and you're jealous. So it
157
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.879
was kind of more of a is Sam jealous of
158
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.720
Sophie and all that she got that people tended to
159
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.600
gravitate to Sophie more than Sam, so Sophie just didn't
160
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.200
like it, because that's kind of the sense that I
161
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.000
got from that, is that Sam was very jealous of
162
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.120
Sophie and that she was successful and that people liked
163
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.240
her and that guys liked her better, and it just
164
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:00.919
it was just the only thing I could think that
165
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.840
may have been what Sam didn't like about Sophie, because
166
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.360
I know when Sam switched their sense Sam had mentioned
167
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.639
it's like, oh, well, Sophie would have wished that she
168
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.000
was a better friend. I'm like, but you never really
169
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.399
alluded to what made her such a bad friend, because
170
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.919
everything that we saw, Sophie was trying to help you.
171
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.240
She felt that maybe you were being taken advantage of
172
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.840
with this new job that you said you had, and
173
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.679
she was finding ways to look out for you. So
174
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.240
it never really made sense as to what was the issue.
175
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.960
So all I could think was that Sam was just
176
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.600
so jealous of Sophie and everything she got, and that
177
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.720
she felt that Sophie just got everything handed to her,
178
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.000
where Sam was thrown scraps and people just didn't like
179
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.200
her or give her things like they did Sophie. And
180
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.759
jealousy can drive people to do crazy things sometimes like
181
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.080
try and get the boy of the other girl. So
182
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.759
I guess that's all it comes down to is basically
183
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.200
Jealousy was just so jealous of Sophie. So this has
184
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:08.559
been sent and sensibility to faded mates. It is one
185
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.039
of the early ones. Like I said that I had watched,
186
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.480
I really enjoyed it and I definitely would recommend because
187
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.360
it is cute story. I love Noah and Grace's chemistry.
188
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.279
They did a really good job and how it all
189
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.080
went down and how they brought down Sam and her
190
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.519
conspire Linda. It was so fun to watch. I mean,
191
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.879
there were questions, like I said, the whole Sophie pregnancy,
192
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.399
why Sam hated Sophie so much, But beyond those, it
193
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.120
was it was really good. I enjoyed it. It was
194
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.679
a fun, cute little story that had its happy ending,
195
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.200
which you got a love those happy ending. As for
196
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:48.200
a rating with this, because there were some issues, the
197
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.000
ratings is a little bit lower. It is a six
198
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.440
point seven out of ten, but it doesn't stop me
199
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.960
from enjoying it and liking it. It's just like I said,
200
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.000
there were some things the writing and the whole Sophie
201
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.360
pregnant storyline, which just one thing that I wasn't a
202
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.480
fan of, so I think that kind of brought it
203
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.919
down a little bit. And I did say like pacing
204
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.159
was a little bit off, because there were some times
205
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.600
where it was like a little slow on the pacing
206
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.679
of the story. But all in all, it was all
207
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.360
It was cute and I enjoyed it, and I would
208
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.840
definitely also love to hear your thoughts on it. Did
209
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.080
you enjoy it. Did you have a favorite part? Was
210
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.279
there anything about this that kind of stuck out for
211
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.360
you that you might not have liked? Do you have
212
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:32.639
another take on why maybe Sam didn't like Sophie so much? Oh?
213
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.039
Please let me know. And this has been my vertical obsession.
214
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.759
I am your host, Megan until next
