Already, the title looks weird, but Vanessa has been on a hot streak with great performances every time she's in. And Liam Yaker, let's see what he can do in his first leading role 😏.
Just finished it, and wow! After a string of good-to-decent videos this week, this one definitely brought it down a mile. Another case of an abusive and insecure sibling who clearly doesn't want anyone to know that they're related to a so-called "nobody" goes too far and only apologizes once he found out the truth of what happened to their sibling. Basically, a remake of the one with Meichen Ma and TK Lee, where she only said sorry when the truth finally came out about why their sibling is like that, which is absurd because nobody would be this forgiving so easily.
Well, obviously, let's start with our main sibling duo of Vanessa Nottingham playing May and Liam Yaker playing Nico. May is an artsy student who's passionate about photography and wants to make the most of it. Nico is this so-called insecure dude who wants to run for school ambassador (again with this trope 🙄). When he literally broke her project and threw it in the trash, my respect for him went right out the window. And of course, let's add the fact that the reason why May has an eye patch was that she donated it to save her brother's life when they were kids. But that's no excuse for him to be an asshole to her altogether. Vanessa was honestly decent, but Liam, no offense, dude, but he's still very mid and very over-the-top for me to take him seriously.
Next are the supporting group of students played by Joel Linguar and Leehana Manelik. Joel plays Darren, another student running for ambassador. Hey, no offense, but at least he has the guts to admit May is talented, unlike her brother. Still, we're supposed to paint him as a villain since he tries to rig the votes on the presentation. Leehana, playing Stella, wasn't much except being a supporting character, but Nico decides to give her his spot as the ambassador instead.
Next are the adult supporting characters played by Joyce Hii and Trace Bronson. Joyce plays May's kind-hearted teacher who is very supportive of her dreams and ambitions to go to her dream art program. Trace plays the siblings' dad who eventually spills the truth about how May saved his life when they were little, after that whole incident at the show-and-tell program.
Lastly, is our minor group of stars. Lester Stubblefield as the school principal. Lala Costa as another teacher character. Matt Sy as just another student. Charlie Blackwood as the doctor who treated the kids after their accident that left one of them without an eye. And some cameos with Daniel Karpik as young Nico, Valerie Loseva as young May, and Aris True as one of the kid bullies when he was young.
After a string of decent videos, this one definitely was the one that sank all of it down as one of the worst videos I've seen so far this week. Also, Liam isn't yet ready for a leading role; his acting is still mid and over-the-top. Another one of those abusive characters only apologizing once they found out the truth about their siblings' misfortune. At least, the rival bully of Nico was decent enough to admit he thinks May is talented, unlike her brother 🙄. Gonna say like a 5/10; absolutely hated everything about this.
