This show is so much better than TSITP less fake characters feel like more actual people

this show took me by such surprise i had such a good time watching it 💀😭

[@reactswithria]

agree!!! 🤭

[@multishipper_heart]

Just binge watched the entire season and holy shit it is so friggin good! Love them both as individual characters and as a couple , love the castle (which is real btw!) and love the cinematography! I really need to read those books now. So hooked! You will definitely like James over time! I was impressed how much depth and layers these characters have! Very impressive 😊

i’m so excited because of comments like yours!!! 🤭

[@lolsaXx]

What confused me most about this was the fact that everyone spoke German but it was set in England. It was filmed in Germany and England but they never make reference to Germany in this, just London and Oxford. The castle they filmed at for the school was clearly a German castle but they've made it seem like it's in England although everyone in the movie only speaks German.

[@reactswithria]

I feel like it happens a lot with non-english authors! they often write about english-speaking countries, but books obviously written in their native language… like if i’d write a book, trust me, it would be set in the US or something! 🤭 it actually was the same with Ruby Red films, they were german, but set and filmed in London?

[@rory_gilmores_coffee]

i was thinking the same thing! like, i assumed the entire thing was set in germany and that ruby's dream school was oxford because it's well-known (and much closer to germany than an ivy league school in the US would be) and then the next thing i know, they're talking a short car ride to london and i was like ???? y'all were in england this whole time??

[@lolsaXx]

@@reactswithria I've never seen Ruby Red. I'm British so I think that's why I find it so strange seeing everyone in London and Oxford College speaking German. When the episode first started I thought it was based in Germany but, the names and feel had me puzzled until I saw the money and it was obvious.

[@lolsaXx]

@@rory_gilmores_coffee that's exactly what I assumed at first but I actually rewound it back on the first episode, to look at the money. So I knew before London. I wish they'd made the location clearer at the start.

[@reactswithria]

@@lolsaXx i see why, for sure! but it’s definitely very common here in Europe, to write American and British settings 🤍

[@heydibear1079]

I actually liked the show, but I couldn’t get over Ruby’s (the actress) face expressions. Maybe it was just me, but she always had her mouth open, or had a consistent worry/anxiety look. It was hard for me to look pass that. But it was a good story/plot, enjoyable

[@talaalsheikhhasan6957]

Yes plssss

[@debbieday5812]

This is perfect for me though because I like blondes and there's not that much stuff I can enjoy with blonde LIs

[@chudawonn]

honestly you talk more than you react to the video 😭

[@Selena.k05]

MORE PLEASE that would be SO fun! And like you pointed out in the video - I really liked the fact that it is ENEMIES to LOVERS, and not just sassy banter between the characters. You can feel the resentment and hate lol - and you know what they say...the line between love and hate is very thin.

[@UNSAMU3L]

This show is way better than tsitp and mlwtwb Imho no offense to those shows at all. This gave a different feeling. It actually feels like a real enemies to lovers trope done right. But maybe I'm biased bc I'm a sucker for prep school type TV shows/movies

[@reactswithria]

omg, that’s a BIG statement! i can’t wait to watch more to find out for myself!! 🫢

[@UNSAMU3L]

Yeah it's a big statement 😂 but it does depend on your taste on how likeable the love interest is, on the type of aesthetic you like, summer, countryside, or dark academia ect. I still like tsitp and mlwtwb yet I still dislike them in sense of way bc of my hatred for the brother love triangle trope. So when it comes down to it. It really does depend on persons taste :)

[@reactswithria]

@@UNSAMU3L oh, i see! i’m a sucker for the brother love triangle 🤭 but i mean, all good if we still enjoy the shows! ‘cause i’m actually obsessed with prep as well 💅

I read the first book in the series and i gotta say it’s not worth it. I loved the show but in the book the main character Ruby is kinda insufferable and not near as confident as in the show. There were also some side plots in the book that I absolutely didn’t enjoy. And some side plots were added to the show which really added on to the main plots. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend the book series (at least the first one) especially after watching the (better) show adaptation 🫢

oh! thank you for sharing 👀 i will try to get into the book, we’ll see how it goes, but i’m also in a reading slump, so it may not go anywhere just because of this 🥲
