Someone pointed out the similarity between STSD and Enchante’s failure, and I think it makes a lot of sense. Both series lacked side stories for their supporting characters. They focused too much on the main characters without developing the surrounding cast, which made the storylines feel flat and rushed. There wasn’t much depth or room to explore other perspectives, so the plot ended up feeling stuck and unengaging

Personally, I think Enchante was a lovely and cute story, but its execution was all over the place. As for STSD, it was a bold move for MO. Putting the nonsense writing and execution aside, I feel like GMM rushed into building a ship without giving the actors time to develop real chemistry. As soon as MO got a bit of attention after Last Twilight, they immediately pushed out a script for them—probably just to capitalize on the hype and make money. Maybe that’s why they’re taking more time now before officially announcing any new ship. Looks like they’ve learned their lesson

Lastly, yes—Mark Pakin was right. This industry is a game where you need both talent and luck. MGB didn’t have the best script—honestly, the editing was rough at the start too. But the team behind it truly gave their all when it came to promoting the series. They tapped into every platform available, doing everything they could to reach audiences. And to their credit, things improved—the editing got better after viewers spoke up, and the layered storytelling started to offer more depth and discussion points. All of that combined made a huge difference in how the series was ultimately received.

I don’t really see MO as a long-term ship. To me, Mark feels more like someone in the same lane as Neo—versatile, but probably not meant to be tied to just one on-screen partner. I still wish them all the best, though. Maybe things will click better in their next series.

hi anon!

Should I binge watch STGD? Will you recommend it?

I'd recommend it for Mark and Ohm because they have great chemistry and are the main selling point of the show for me. But frankly the narrative is lacking the characters are not very well fleshed out unfortunately. the editing is choppy and a lot of the plot lines seem disjointed and shallow.

However if you're not a harsh critic and are in the market for some light comedy and fun shenanigans then I'd say give it a shot! 😉

I just think a combo of factors caused STGD to falter. Their momentum got halted by the earthquake. The competition for audiences is really tough right now. (MBG, PB2, TNP, Top Form etc) Lastly, the series has a lot of tonal and pacing issues. You can get away with these things if the show is funny but it just wasn’t that funny. I don’t know what the future holds for Mark but he’s a good actor so Im sure he’ll still get roles. I’m less sure about Ohm, who I feel has a lot of room for improvement acting wise.

yeah it's probably a combination of a few things. not sure if it's true but it is possible that the earthquake delay caused them to cut an episode (because the final ep event was set up in advance), so they had to somehow cram an extra episode into the remaining 10 after the incident which is why it only came out to 11 eps, and it's surely part of the reason why the plot feels so choppy and disjointed in the second half and it's also amplifying the pacing issues that the show had to begin with. The competition from the other shows might have been a reason too but none of the shows you mentioned aired on a Friday except for pit babe 2 but that's not doing that well either, so I don't think that's a deciding factor.

The comedy worked in the first half of the show imo, the characters were nicely set up in the beginning but then everyone just kind of lost their personalities along the way lol. Jay's only trait is that he's weird and Sant's only trait is that he likes sweets, both of which they did not stick with, and just relying on sound effects, funny costumes and quirky comments doesn't work, even for an intendedly silly sitcom. And don't get me started on the gugg-yada-baipor story which was 1 pickup line away from becoming a complete disaster if they hadn't turned it around at the very last second. smh.

I just expected a lot more, not only since it's a JittiRain adaption, but mostly because the director is highly qualified and the cast is pretty stellar imo. I have no idea where they went wrong. Mark, Ohm and the rest made the best out of what they were given and it breaks my heart to see them so openly disappointed and discouraged, thinking any of this is their fault (it's not). I think they're both amazing actors and they are both very underqualified for this show. I'm glad gmmtv is not giving up on them, at least not for now.

had to share this because it makes me so sad. many things are out of ppl's control in the entertainment industry but the quality of the shows is not. I also had high expectations for STGD and am equally disappointed by its outcome but it's something that was evitable if the company had invested in a better production. that goes for all projects. I feel badly for everyone involved, especially the actors, and I respect Mark for speaking up and saying those things. in the end gmmtv chose to invest in the MO ship which is a good first step and hopefully there will be brighter days for them ahead because they deserve it 🥺🧡
