A trainwreck if it weren´t for Boat/Sorn and Oat/Jun
Was I watching this show religiously every sunday? ... yes
Is this show pretty bad? ... also yes
Boat and Oat (the actors of Jun and Sorn) are doing so much of the heavy lifting here. If they had gotten different actors for them this show would have been beyond terrible. Paired with the fact that their characters are the only ones with solid writing you can basically only watch this show for them. They're not perfect but definetly the (only) highlight of the show!
The other couples are written terribly.
Why am I getting 3 nc scenes per episode for people I barely know? (I skipped through basically all of them. They don't work if I don´t know anything about these characters.) I get what they were going for with Champ and Thai. You can see glimpses of their dynamic and the deeper problems in their relatioship but it never gets addressed satisfyingly.
Why is the relationship between two women mainly happening off-screen and they just tell us about it later-on? If you don´t want to write about them that´s fine but just leave them out completely instead of giving us this half-baked mess.
The other characters in the show are either incredibly under-written or their storylines go absolutely NO-WHERE. Why exactly does Sorn's brother show up in the last few episodes he does absolutely nothing and then leaves...
Apart from the writing the post-production is terrible. The amount of times that the odd (and way too loud) music or the weird editing completely took me out of the show is insane.
All of my plenty critiques aside I did like the show (and by that I basically exclusively mean Jun and Sorn's story) and had a great time laughing at the badness of it all. If that is what you want in a show then go nuts. Just beware!
