The tension and angst killed me
Production:
- The aesthetics, colors, and cinematography in Thailand are amazing. Its giving Tokyo Drift.
- Impeccable wardrobe and styling for all the characters. Esther Yu wardrobe never disappoints.
- I adore the OST.
Plot
- The plot is nothing special. The drama focused more on its characters and their interactions.
- Zhao and mom’s whole interaction wasn’t shown in the book. It was the most heartwarming part of the show so Im glad it was added. Seeing Zhao plead and be accepted 💚
Chemistry:
- The romance is pure intensity and sexual tension. I give most of the credit to HeYu for this. Man knows how to make tension out of thin air.
- The book was a lot more adult. After their first time, Jin Zhao initiated sex whenever he was alone with her. Im shook.
“The soundproofing here is excellent. No need to hold back.”
“Some traditions shouldn’t be broken. A woman doesn’t take the lead her first time.”
Characters:
- Zhao is such an acts of service guy. He provides princess treatment and spoils her rotten. But he keeps making decisions on her behalf. He didn’t even grovel for ghosting our princess for 6 yrs and never making an attempt to reach out. Like why is she the one chasing you again sir?
- The burden of making the first move ALWAYS fell on Mu’s shoulders. She initiates all the clinging, flirty remarks, love confessions and skinship. Her efforts alone started and rekindled their romantic relationship. Without her trying, their story might have never progressed past yearning stage. The real green flag.
- Sin Lai is an amazing friend. My shaylaa
“Why are your shoelaces always untied?”
“Im afraid if I squat down and tie them, no one will wait for me”
- Ngl, I expected the father’s role to play a bigger part in the story. Wasn’t a very impactful presence.
- Lin Sui also felt like such a randomly written character that served no purpose. He wasn’t the villain nor the love rival we initially thought. His role is basically be the rich guy offering Zhao help at random moments.
Casting:
- Everyone was SO HOT 🔥.
- HeYu has great yearner/ bedroom eyes. His stares and little smiles make me melt. Perfect for a role like this. My pick for standout actor this entire drama.
- Esther has a good mix of baddie and cutesy diva princess. Mu’s styles and personality actually matches hers irl.
- Mike Angelo’s chemistry with Esther IRL is so much fun and makes for such a funny third wheel.
