Pig competition
This has been recommended to me by multiple people because they said it has a good storyline. This is where different preferences come into play. I don't hate it, but I don't particularly love it either.
The concept is good, especially with the time travel, past setting, and fantasy elements. With this kind of genre, you're expected to fall in love and expect the angst to be torture. However, I didn't feel the yearning, heartbreak, and torment that I was expecting.
The conflicts are the usual ones you'd expect from the Siam period: a homophobic environment, corruption, and, of course, the fact that Jom doesn't belong in this period in the first place. But I think these conflicts were handled with a rather light approach. In just one episode, everything is resolved. Everyone is already reflecting on their wrongdoings and virtues. As I told my friend, verbatim, "There's no grrrrr moment." 😂 I might just be a fan of long, agonizing torment. LOL.
That said, it really was a good storyline. There were just some points that I wished they had highlighted more, especially the crossover between the future and the past and the significance of the house beside the chest containing their memories.
That said, I really don't get the ending. Did I miss something? How come Khun Yai is there? Is it reincarnation, where he retained his memories? Is it immortality, since he said he never left? Or is he just a ghost living within the house's memories?!
Lastly, I was looking for those yearning eyes, and honestly, I didn't see much of them. ðŸ˜
And what happened to the pig competition?! LOL.
Oh, the special episode, though. It's kind of funny, but the more I think about it, the more I realize there really isn't a completely happy ending, and that made me sad.
