This broke the internet for a reason
This show falls off towards the end in a very weird way, in my opinion they should have made about 2 episodes less because up until then the writing was pretty tight. The only other criticism I have is that the romantic relationships take a very central role towards the middle when the show already has a very intriguing plot to explore instead. Other than those two things, this show is FIRE! The music, editing and overall look of the show are amazing (ignoring Kants weird looking tattoos). And of course the acting is beyond what I could have imagined. The cast knew exactly what was required from them and they all played these characters to a T. They could not have cast better actors for these roles. The hype the show had was absolutely justified and I think it only decresed towards the end because the story was dragging a little and they focused on the romance to much. Nevertheless, this show is absolutely worth a watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Who gave them the permission to make a movie this good?
I don't usually write reviews this positive but I genuinely think that this movie is perfect. It has great pacing, the comedy is impeccable, it is beautifully shot and the acting is just off the charts. And the writers of the movies absolutely deserve some kind of award! It balances the sadness of this situation with the comedy of it perfectly. This is definetly worth not only a watch but also a rewatch. And for me personally it is definitely on my "Best movies of all time"-list.Was this review helpful to you?
Truly a gold nugget of a show
This is such a cute, comforting show, I loved every second of it.Chokun and Aston were of course a highlight (the way I was grinning like an absolute lunatic every time they were on screen), but I truly think that the entire cast did an amazing job. They could not have gotten better actors for any of these characters.

A trainwreck if it weren´t for Boat/Sorn and Oat/Jun
Was I watching this show religiously every sunday? ... yesIs 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!

Potential for a season 2?
I think the show leaves some very important questions unanswered...Did the feelings between Gam and Pepper just disappear? But even more importantly: Will Thame´s fans find out about his relationship? If or rather When they do, how will the company handle it? I think there is a lot of potential for a second season where they could explore some of these issues. The way it was left right now I also don´t like the implications it has for LYKN. If their fans ever find out that their dating will Riser react the way that Oner did? I think they could have really made a strong statement here in that regard. Of course they kind of do that with the character of Baifern who in the end learns to treat Thame the way she would anybody else and gets over her parasocial relationships with the members. But is that enough? Not imo. Apart from that this show is truely amazing. Yes it is slowburn but it is romantic and beautiful and the characters have become a great comfort to me. Will definetly rewatch this show in the winter when I need some warmth.Was this review helpful to you?
