Lots of romance, with no danger
When I added this series to my list, I thought it sounded interesting. I also really liked Perth and Chimon in "Never Let Me Go," so I was excited to see a series with them as the main leads.
My main problem with this was the expectation I had. This wasn’t dangerous at all, in fact there's no real danger whatsoever. The show does depict some realistic instances of school bullying, which I suppose could be considered the "danger" mentioned in the title, but other than that, there’s no actual peril for these characters. Even the debt collectors in the story are portrayed quite gently. So, in a way, I think this series was trying to be something it was not.
The pacing was also slow, much slower than what I would even classify as slow burn.
In the end, I ended up losing interest after the characters got together, as it felt like the story didn’t develop much afterward. Kanghan makes a mistake, Sailom gets upset, and then they make up – it felt like a repetitive cycle.
In contrast, the secondary couple, Nawa and Guy, were very entertaining. I found myself scrambling to be invested so I could stay for their storyline. Because of that, I was very pleased with their happy ending.
Overall, I was somewhat disappointed with this series. But should you watch it? Sure! It’s slow but cute in some ways and can be easy to enjoy if you don’t scrutinise the details too closely. If that’s your style, go for it!
