Hi everyone,
I watched the opening episodes of Surely Tomorrow, and I wanted to capture some early impressions — the things that worked for me, as well as the things that didn’t, while they were still fresh.
I hope you’ll have fun listening along with my perspectives on this one. 😊
(I’ve kept this fairly spoiler-lite, but I do talk about events in Episodes 1 & 2 in broad terms.)
Thanks for hanging out with me, and please feel free to share your own experience with the show in the comments!
KFG ❤️

I watched 2 episodes and paused it. I will probably go back but I had a hard time getting a grip on the OTP and their odd relationship. Nevertheless – I enjoyed listening to this!
I watched the first two episodes and decided not to go any further. I just didn’t like any of the characters and that’s generally a big no-no for me.
Thank you for this. Still planning to see this because of my hubby, PSJ, but fingers crossed, Show will work for me.
On the other hand, your take made me think about a recent realization of mine of what would make me stick to and continue watching a show. Is it the male lead’s swooniness maybe? (I know that word doesn’t exist lol) Because as a single woman, who would not enjoy feeling giddy while watching, right?
But after starting and dropping several shows for the past few weeks, I realized that while I would start watching a show because of how promising the story and the (male) leads are, I would ultimately enjoy a show if the female lead is likable and believable to me. That I can believe why the male lead would want to be with the female lead and if I was a man, I would want to be with her too.
Hi mc, thanks for listening! ❤️
To be honest, I really love your conclusion, because I’ve arrived at the same conclusion myself. 😁
I might start a show for a promising premise or a swoony male lead too, but whether I stay really does come down to the female lead. If I can’t believe in her as a person — or can’t see why the male lead would genuinely be drawn to her — then the whole romance starts to feel shaky to me, no matter how charming he is.
I also really like how you put it, about being able to see her as someone you’d want to be with if you were in his shoes. That sense of believability makes such a difference.
Fingers crossed that Surely Tomorrow works for you — and I’d love to hear how it lands, especially through this lens. ❤️
