Cringe
I've been waiting for this series because it's been so long since we got a MaxNat series under Domundi. And as a plus factor, we also have PeterpanFluke here! So, of course, I had expectations going into this. But honestly, I don't know what happened?! Was it the script? The acting? The actors? Or maybe it's just not my cup of tea? 😭
The series tried to push the romantic comedy genre, but I can probably count on one hand how many times I actually laughed. Most of the time, I just found the script and acting cringe. I'm sorry! 😭
I love series with that Tom and Jerry dynamic, the constant push and pull, the bickering, and the characters who just can't seem to get along but somehow keep coming back to each other. However, that kind of dynamic needs to be delivered well to make it entertaining. The push and pull were there, but for some reason, it just didn't work for me. I couldn't connect with it the way I wanted to.
Now, let's talk about PanFluke as Sib and Pimai. I was honestly excited to see them! From the beginning, it was established that Sib was more or less forced into the marriage, while Pimai was genuinely trying his best to make it work. You could see Pimai putting in the effort, trying to be a good partner despite how cold Sib was towards him. But then, when we saw them again in the later episodes, it suddenly felt like they had the perfect marriage. HUH?! What happened in between? 😂
I needed answers! Why was Sib so cold in the earlier episodes, and what exactly changed? I wanted to see that development, the moments that made Sib soften towards Pimai and the steps they took to get to that point. Unfortunately, I felt like we skipped over the part that would have made their relationship more meaningful.
At first, I also found Lantao's character cringe. But when he was paired with Wasin, EVERYTHING CHANGED. HAHAHAHA! 😂 Suddenly, I started enjoying his sassiness. So maybe he just needed the right man who could put up with his attitude. Their dynamic worked better for me, and I actually wanted to see more of them.
I also loved JT's cameo! I honestly didn't expect that. When they first showed JT in the text messages, I thought that was all we were going to get. So imagine my surprise when we actually got a scene with JT and Ohm together! HELLO??? JTOhm on screen together?! I was not prepared for that! 😂
And of course, we cannot forget NingNing (Kim) versus Lantao (Gems). WHO WILL WIN?! HAHAHAHA! I loved those sassy moments between them. They were entertaining, and I enjoyed seeing them go back and forth with each other.
Overall, I think my biggest issue with Your Third is that, no matter how much comedy a series wants to deliver, I still need DEPTH. I want the relationships to develop in a way that makes sense, and I want to see the moments that bring the characters closer together.
I'm honestly disappointed because I really wanted to love this series, especially with MaxNat and PanFluke in the cast. But I also understand that not every series will work for everyone, and maybe this one just wasn't for me.
Still, I'm hoping for another MaxNat series in the future. I want to see them together again, but I also hope they get a story, script, and director that really align with their personalities and acting skills. I know there's potential there, and I want to see them in a series that allows them to show it.
