Something Different

Honestly, it’s so different from typical Thai GL dramas – mainly because we get a deep dive into the perspective of the other romantic lead, which is really refreshing!

As for the story and the characters: wow. The show portrays such a complicated romantic situation. When one person refuses to open up or make an effort, it really shows that love alone isn’t enough. Patience, respect, and actual effort are needed – and I think that’s exactly what the series tries to convey.

Now, to be honest, I don’t think Yi Min and Ting Ting should’ve ended up together. But maybe I’m just too strict 😅. From season 1, Ting Ting’s been waiting for something clear, and Yi Min’s been struggling to give it to her. It took someone else entering the relationship for Yi Min to realize she might lose Ting Ting…

It’s well explained, though. Even if, personally, I felt that Yi Min had better chemistry with the girl who was in love with her than with her actual love interest – but that’s another conversation!

I really appreciated the topics the series tackled: first love, being closeted, same-sex parenting, co-parenting, and raising a child with autism. These are powerful subjects, and they were handled with care.

So yeah, I definitely recommend it!
