I think all these characters were interesting, but I didn't find any of them to be a good match for each other. 

The setting and environment made me feel like I was there in 1920s Singapore. I didn't mind the personalities of each of the ladies but I questioned the compatibility of each of them. I wish Po Lam had had more scenes with Gean Choo to explore their relationship more. 

I enjoyed the choose your own ending and although, I have a preference, neither called to me as a super satisfactory ending and only one seemed to be actually canon.
