00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.359
Welcome to My Vertical Obsession. I am your host, Megan,

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.799
and today we are talking about real shorts to my

3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:12.199
Romeo with Love. This stars Kayla Brady as Penny Jones,

4
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:18.120
Christopher Cortico as Mason Brown, Julie Anderson as Cindy Jones,

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.160
Kyle Hester as James Brown, and Morgan fraz as Valerie.

6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.000
This story is about a teenage girl who hides her

7
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.760
leukemia diagnosis so she can carry out her wish to

8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.799
play Juliet opposite her best friend in the school play.

9
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.479
And this reunites Kayla and Chris and yet another real

10
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:44.240
short series. They were together in the series Quarterback next Door,

11
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.640
which was really cute and hopefully I'll be able to

12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.799
do that one at one point. But going into this one,

13
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.240
this is one of the last series I kind of

14
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:59.560
broke down with the character deep dive slash description before

15
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.200
I switched over to just kind of going like overview

16
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.920
and thoughts. So this is last one that I do

17
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.000
that with so and so how it goes for each character.

18
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.879
We got Penny, a young girl in love and finally

19
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.040
getting to be with the boy she'd love forever. She

20
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.840
jokes to him to not make things weird when they

21
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.959
go back to school, only to be the one to

22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.560
do it instead. After she finally got the perfect day

23
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.959
with Mason, it all came crashing down by the news

24
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.280
she had cancer. Since Mason's mother died of cancer when

25
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.920
they were young, she made a promise to not let

26
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.239
Mason get hurt again. Penny thought it was best to

27
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.599
push him away, even though it killed.

28
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:43.680
Her to do that.

29
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.079
She just couldn't watch him watch someone he loved or

30
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.640
cared about die again. She was determined to keep him

31
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.640
at arm's length. Even though she was bullied and tormented

32
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.519
by Valerie, she wasn't going to let that stop her.

33
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.480
The one thing she wanted most before she died was

34
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.640
to play Juliet to Mason's Romeo. She was going to

35
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.439
make that happen no matter what, even if it meant

36
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.199
lying to her mom about what was going on at

37
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.520
school because her mom wanted to take her out of school.

38
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.520
But she was determined to be Juliet. It was something

39
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.159
she always wanted to do, and it was the dream

40
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.719
they both had will She put on a brave face

41
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.599
and tried to fight this alone. Mason stood by her,

42
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.560
giving them both the ability to tell each other the

43
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.159
truth and say goodbye Penny, realizing that he wouldn't leave

44
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.120
her side no matter what that even after all she

45
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.919
did to push him away and try and get him

46
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.120
and not care for her, he still refused to walk

47
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.960
away from her. And I love that little goodbit. It

48
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.879
just showed how much she cared about her, how much

49
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.080
she loved her, and how much he wasn't going to

50
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:47.360
let her face this alone.

51
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.960
So on to Mason. We have a young boy who

52
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.319
thinks he's finally getting the.

53
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.919
Girl he's always wanted, only to be rejected by her

54
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.759
when they got back to school. I'm sure what happened

55
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.919
between that summer day and now, but not wanting to

56
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.479
believe Penny's story that she loves another. Hoping if he

57
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.400
continues to try with Penny, then maybe she'll change her

58
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.199
mind or tell him why she's pushing him away. He

59
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.719
knows there has to be a reason to why she

60
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.240
is doing this. Even when he is finally mad at her,

61
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.240
he still can't watch her be bullied. He also can't

62
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.840
stay mad at her for long. He is determined to

63
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.560
win Penny back, no matter how long it takes, and

64
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.599
when he finally finds out the truth, about the cancer.

65
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.319
He stands by her, He loves her and wants to

66
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.039
be with her.

67
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.879
For however long that may be.

68
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.280
While he has to say goodbye to her, she would

69
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.840
forever be in his heart. She was his first love

70
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.919
and his true love, and he wanted to make sure

71
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.960
that her memory was never forgotten and never faded. That

72
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.479
is why when he was old and had grandchildren he

73
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.680
would still visit her grave, and why his granddaughter was

74
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.199
named after Penny, which I love that little tidbit at

75
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:51.599
the end.

76
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.199
That was a nice way of.

77
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.840
Keeping her memory alive. And now said we go into

78
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.479
what I see as the overview of the whole thing

79
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.840
is that the series was a tearjerker. It was beautifully

80
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.080
done and so heartbreaking at the same time. The story

81
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.000
of two young lovers who were finally getting together, only

82
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.479
for one to get sick. So she believed pushing him

83
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.919
away was better for him than to watch her die

84
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.560
like he did with his mother. She wanted nothing more

85
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.839
than to have him by her side, but she didn't

86
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.800
want him to remember her sick and in the hospital.

87
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.000
She wanted him to remember her lively and happy. She

88
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.079
knew the only way he would walk away from her

89
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.079
if she made him hate her or believe that she

90
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.040
loved someone else, as she tried to do. She just

91
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.079
underestimated how much he truly cared about her, and he

92
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.240
wasn't going to walk.

93
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.240
Away that easy. Even when he was.

94
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.120
Mad at her, he still came to her defense. He

95
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.279
loved her and wasn't willing to be without her. When

96
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.519
he finally found out the truth, he stood by her

97
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.160
and stayed by her side until the end. Even after

98
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.040
she was gone, she was never gone from his heart.

99
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.839
Like I said, as his character, he would visit her

100
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.439
grave and his granddaughter was named after her her and

101
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.399
she was always with him. And this one's definitely a

102
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.920
complete tearjerger. I even wrote it in one of my

103
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.639
notes here pretty sure somewhere in one of my notes

104
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.920
that this was one of the series that made me

105
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.600
like cry the hardest by the end, and there have

106
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.759
been no series like that this one. I was bawling

107
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.279
my eyes out by the end of this. And I

108
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.040
think it was perfect to have Kayla and Chris in

109
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.720
these roles because they really portrayed it very well. And

110
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.959
I love them together because, like I said, they had

111
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.560
done the quarterback next door and I absolutely loved that

112
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.759
it was cute, adorable and just.

113
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.399
So stink and cute. I know I said cute twice,

114
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.800
but it was really good. I like that one.

115
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.759
So to see them back together in this and have

116
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.160
it be such a heavy and important topic like this,

117
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.360
it was really nice. And I thought they did a

118
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.560
fantastic job. And they said it was right having them

119
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.199
as the leads for this, because I thought they did fantastic.

120
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.720
They really brought their a game per se for these roles.

121
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.720
So now going into some of the notes I had

122
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:16.000
was one of them was about the ending, because when

123
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.560
I watched it, like as we got it closer to

124
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.040
the ending, I was like, oh, I wonder how they're

125
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.639
going to end this and how it's going to go,

126
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.839
And I thought it could have gone one of two ways,

127
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.079
both of which did not happen, but I thought maybe.

128
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.240
It could be.

129
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.879
So, so going into the ideas that I had for

130
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.000
this was could be two ways. One one that Penny

131
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.920
got better and Penny and Mason got their happy ending,

132
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.680
and I know that isn't something that happens in real life,

133
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.959
and I was thinking that maybe the fictional world would

134
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.959
give it to us that oh she miraculously gets better,

135
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.199
because I know there are shows that do that, especially

136
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.879
soap opers. Soap operas do that all the time character's

137
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.600
dying suddenly they're miraculously cured and they're on to live

138
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.800
another couple of years. So I thought that maybe they

139
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.800
might go down that rode that she miraculously gets better

140
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.439
they have their happy ending. But I knew that wasn't

141
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.759
true to life. Not always true to life. I know

142
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.040
there are times where, yes, some cancers, you are in

143
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.639
remission and you get better and you don't always succumb

144
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.480
to the disease. But the way that they were preturing

145
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.319
this with the leukemia, it was they were portraying it.

146
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:26.600
As she was going to die.

147
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.439
So that's why my brain was like, oh, well, maybe

148
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.560
they're just going to go all fictional route and make

149
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.560
her all better. But I'm glad that they didn't do

150
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.399
that because, again, like I said, not very true to life.

151
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.560
The second way that I thought.

152
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.720
That they might do this was that when we got

153
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.319
the flash forward at the end after Penny died and

154
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.279
we were seeing Mason, I thought we were going to

155
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:51.240
end up with like Mason kind of dying after living

156
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.079
his life and then reuniting with Penny in heaven, and

157
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.560
I was kind of thinking that's where this was going,

158
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.120
because I thought that, oh, this would be a good

159
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.600
way to show that you can reunite with someone you

160
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.639
love in the afterlife, that they're waiting for you, and

161
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.480
even after all this time, you'll see them again. And

162
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.639
I thought that that might be a good message that

163
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.759
they could share. I had said that I think we

164
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.279
all want to believe that one day we will reunite

165
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.879
with the lost loved ones, and I thought that could

166
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.480
have been a nice moment for both Penny and Mason

167
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.600
and for the viewers as well.

168
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.240
But then I also said that the.

169
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.320
True ending was sad as well, to know that Penny

170
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.320
was always with them and he would never forget her,

171
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.200
that he visited her and continue to honor her with

172
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.320
her name. So I did like the ending. I'm not

173
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.440
saying that I didn't. I was just as I was

174
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.240
watching it, it was one of those things where I

175
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.360
was like, Oh, is this how it's going to end?

176
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:53.200
So it kind of just in my head of thoughts

177
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.519
of oh, well, maybe it could have done this, could

178
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:57.720
have done this, or maybe it could have gone this way.

179
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.519
But I still do like the ending that they had,

180
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.080
and I thought it was sweet.

181
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.200
And perfect too.

182
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.480
And I will point out that even though I'm talking

183
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.000
about it, I will say that I was very nervous

184
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.120
about talking about this one because I didn't want to

185
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.679
kind of say anything wrong or have anything taken wrong

186
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.200
because of how important this series was or because of

187
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.720
the subject matter. But I still wanted to kind of

188
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.720
critique it as a series as well, but I just

189
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.960
like I had that fear of maybe I wouldn't say

190
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.919
the right thing, but also that fear that maybe if

191
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.559
I started talking about it, I would start crying again

192
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:36.039
because of how emotional and sad this was. So. Like

193
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.559
I said earlier, this did make me ball my eyes out.

194
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.360
It was so sad, and I think putting some distance

195
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.840
between when I watched it now talking about it kind

196
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.279
of helped, so I'm not as overly emotional. But I

197
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.080
think if I watched it and then talked about it

198
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.039
not too long after, I might have kind of cried

199
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.919
because of how emotional this one is.

200
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.519
It is so emotional.

201
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.360
So that being said, going back into some of my

202
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.960
notes of Mason seeing the signs, Penny being sick and

203
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:14.279
not truly paying attention to them, and then we've got

204
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.440
the parents skaming or the last two notes I had.

205
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:19.600
So when it comes to Mason.

206
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.440
I want to believe that he just wanted to believe

207
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.840
that Penny was okay, that she wouldn't lie to it.

208
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.840
But that being said, he still saw the signs, like

209
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.799
when his mother was sick and she just kept saying, Oh, no,

210
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.320
it's fine, it's fine, I'm okay, and I kind of

211
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.879
felt that it came off that he was a little

212
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.399
clueless about that. So that's why I kind of want

213
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.879
to believe that, oh, he was just trying to respect

214
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.879
that she's okay, she wants to believe she's okay, that

215
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.279
he wants to believe that she's okay and not sick,

216
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.440
and not that he's just going, oh, you say you're okay, okay,

217
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.679
we'll forget it. So I wanted to see it that

218
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.799
way versus the way that it kind of comes across,

219
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.639
if that makes sense, because he's seeing all these signs,

220
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:10.600
seeing all the same things that happen when his mother

221
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.200
was sick, because she also died of cancer with and

222
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.240
he's seeing this all with Penny but not really connecting that.

223
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.080
So I didn't quite like that factor. So again, going

224
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.200
back to how I just kind of want to believe

225
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.080
that he was trying to believe that she was okay,

226
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.240
that there was nothing wrong, and respect her wishes of

227
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.559
being yeah, I'm fine, everything's fine type of thing, because

228
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.440
I still think he believed, I mean, he still knew

229
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.519
something wasn't right because Penny was pushing him away and

230
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.240
trying to get him to believe that she loved someone else.

231
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.200
But of course, once he found out about the cancer,

232
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.159
all the signs that he had noticed and all the

233
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.879
signs that he had picked up on started to make sense.

234
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.919
And the last thing I had said was how I

235
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.519
was hoping that this was his way of hoping she

236
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.639
would open up to him and tell him the truth,

237
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.919
that if he went along with her saying she was okay,

238
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.279
that maybe eventually she would tell him the truth.

239
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.399
And then when it comes to the parents.

240
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.559
I loved them because they schemed together to put Mason

241
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.879
and Penny together, Like I loved that factor, that little

242
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.120
thing that was thrown in that you find out that

243
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.759
Penny's mom, Cindy, talked with Mason's dad, which I lost

244
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.320
his name, but yeah, so Penny's mom talked to Mason's dad.

245
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.919
She told him about Penny's cancer, and the two scheme

246
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.480
together to have Mason live with Penny and her mom,

247
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.480
so that way he was close to Penny, even though

248
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.159
the two were kind of fighting and she was pushing

249
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:46.279
him away. It gave him the chance to be around Penny.

250
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.039
Even though she didn't want him to know the truth.

251
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.639
It still gave him the chance to be around her

252
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.200
in the end, be close to her, and that way

253
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.519
they could both have that closure because she knew if

254
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.399
Penny didn't get to say say goodbye to Mason or

255
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.799
was fighting with Mason before her death, she would never

256
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.600
forgive herself for not being able to say goodbye to Mason.

257
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.320
And if Mason never got to say goodbye to Penny,

258
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.200
it would crush him. So they work together to keep

259
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.960
them in each other's orbit no matter what, even with

260
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.720
the little time that Penny still had left.

261
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.039
So I really loved.

262
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.720
That about the parents, that they kind of work behind

263
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.960
the scenes to keep the two together.

264
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.480
And I love it so much.

265
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.720
And what I had said was I was glad that

266
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.480
she had told mes dad that they were able to

267
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.840
keep them together, that they weren't a part in the end,

268
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.679
and this was something they both needed.

269
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.960
Whether they admitted it.

270
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.879
Or not, I really truly adored that factor thrown in there,

271
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:49.679
so a plus to Penny and Penny's mom and Mason's dad.

272
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.559
Like I said, this was a very good series. I

273
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:59.000
really enjoyed it. I know it was so emotional and

274
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:04.120
very hard breaking and tear jerking. It's definitely hard to watch.

275
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.240
But at the same time, it's a beautiful story and

276
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:12.240
beautifully done, and I loved every minute of it, even

277
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:16.399
when I finished it bollying my eyes out saying I

278
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:17.559
hate this, I.

279
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:18.759
Hate everything about this.

280
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.120
But it was more the fact that she dies at

281
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.639
the end and they don't get their happy ending, and

282
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:29.159
that is what it's such a heartbreaking story like this,

283
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:30.480
But yeah, it was.

284
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:31.879
It was definitely a great.

285
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.919
Story, and I thought, like I said, Kayla and Chris

286
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.600
did a fantastic job portraying Penny and Mason and being

287
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.840
in these roles. So I trying to find other words

288
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.440
to say, but it's just they're escaping me.

289
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.320
So go into the rating. I know it's not.

290
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.559
The best, but I did give it a seven point

291
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.200
eight out of ten. And that's not to say because

292
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.559
there was anything wrong with it. It's just there were

293
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.039
a few days that could.

294
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:01.960
Have been better.

295
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.600
In my eyes, they said the whole mason seeing the

296
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.919
signs and not really putting it together himself. I feel

297
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.279
like they could have done that a little differently. But

298
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.679
I still really love this and I thought it was

299
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.720
really good. I would highly recommend it, just as long

300
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.000
as you're aware that it will most likely make you cry.

301
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.240
Just as long as you're aware of that. So this

302
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.559
has been to my Romeo with love. As always, I

303
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.639
would love to hear your thoughts on the series. Did

304
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.320
it make you cry just as much as it did me?

305
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.879
How would you have liked to see the story, And also,

306
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.799

been my vertical obsession and until next time,
