if you switch off your brain enjoyable

After watching all 8 episodes, honestly, the series should have only been 6 episodes long, because after episode 6, nothing particularly interesting really happens.

The series is entertaining… if you switch your brain off. Because the moment you actually start thinking about it, there are so many things that just don’t make sense.

Klao and Si seriously lack depth. Nothing about their characters was developed with strong writing; it all felt rushed to me. Even the death of the kid… I don’t even remember his name, which says a lot about how little emotional attachment the show managed to create. In my opinion, they did absolutely nothing to make viewers care about that character.

Klao and Si’s relationship works on screen mainly because Lookmhee and Sonya have great chemistry. But that’s where it stops, because underneath that, the dynamic feels very predatory, with a clear lack of boundaries.

Si’s relationship with her family was also handled really poorly, especially with her sister. One day they’re in conflict, and the next everything is suddenly fine, with no real explanation or apology. I hate when shows treat viewers like they’re stupid by resolving things that way.

And finally, the humor just wasn’t for me at all. I found it way too much, forced, and honestly pretty cringe.
