ABSOLUTELY PERFECT !!! LIKE ALWAYS WITH THIS SCRIPTWRITER WOMAN !
I'd been eagerly awaiting this for a year and a half, and I can say without hesitation: I wasn't disappointed at all.
From the very beginning, the world resonated deeply with me, and the screenwriter—as those who've seen my video already know—is one of my favorites, especially for her previous moving dramas (Forbidden Flower, among others). Once again, she managed to transport me through a fully realized and intense romance, set against the backdrop of a world of motor racing. Needless to say, it gave me an irresistible urge to discover the novelization.
The cinematography in Thailand was simply exceptional, and not just for its scenery: several scenes and shot choices gave the drama a real distinctive character, reinforcing its power and emotional impact.
Esther Yu was incredible! While I was sometimes skeptical about her behavior in the first few episodes, I truly saw an evolution and maturity as the episodes progressed, especially in the second half. (It reminded me of the girl's character development in HIDDEN LOVE). She was enterprising, brilliant, and determined, and her acting was spot-on and moving (her tears got to me more than once!).
He Yu, one of my favorite actors for the past few years, despite masterpieces like Dashing Youth and others, it's really SPEED AND LOVE that has given him true international exposure! I'm so proud of him. His character was absolutely perfect! I could totally have written a male lead like that! Sentimental and rebellious at the same time, but definitely protective. A man with a capital M.
I loved the credibility with which he portrayed this reckless driver, before completely reversing the dynamic in the second half of the drama. We then discover a new man, sporting a more mature look, driven by real projects, and committed to a particularly convincing physical and mental rehabilitation. He deeply touched me with his looks, his gestures, his attentiveness… to the point of moving me far beyond what I could have imagined.
Between breathtaking shots and landscapes, an intense romance punctuated by numerous kissing scenes, actors delivering their lines with great emotional precision, and a truly compelling story—no pun intended—I can only call it a real gem, fully living up to my expectations.
I think the entire cast poured a tremendous amount of energy into their performances, and I particularly enjoyed seeing Mike Angelo again, who I found very comfortable despite his relatively limited screen time. Each actor clearly stepped outside their comfort zone to make this story both believable and addictive.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this drama, and I sincerely hope you, too, had a wonderful time watching it.
10/10 !
