Secrets have never been more melodic
Melody of Secrets is good, trust me.
It started out vague and weird. Because you don't really recieve a diary you kept ten years ago from your ex-boyfriend, who suddenly wants to revisit your relationship. That ended ten years ago. I'm real life, this is the work of a serial killer and you should only go meet this person up of you are a police officer. But Botphleng is a journalist and he's curious, so he goes to the woods near his house (serial killer location by the way) and that's where he meets Tankhun. And because I'm always right, the two of them also find a dead body. Now this is where the plot starts up - but I'm not going to spoil anything for anybody. Except this one last thing. Botphleng lost all his memories ten years ago.
Now I won't spoil anything because the twists and turns in this series genuinely had me gagged. Some of them even earned an audible gasp from me and before you ask, yes. It will make you want to tear your hair out, but it's worth it (not literally, it's a figure of speech). The shocks keep coming, almost every episode and they keep you on your toes. You don't even have to pay attention to every single detail here! You can zone out for a minute and it wouldn't matter because the story is solid and it's not too complicated in a way that makes you want to drop the series. Just confusing.
And you will zone out too! They had a ton of filler scenes and pacing issues, one of the weak points of this series by the way, but who doesn't enjoy a series where you can take a tiny nap while an unnecessary second couple are forced to flirt with each other?
Because I won't complain about the lead pairing. Nope, one of the brightest spots in the series, especially considering how weirdly their relationship starts out, even without them being shared witnesses to a murder. It gets so weird until you actually feel creeped out because you're rooting for this weirdness?? But they're so cute and once everything is out in the open, you can actually see that they're perfect for each other. And no notes about Force and Book's chemistry either. Botphleng and Tankhun are the pair you get when you balance Top/Mew and Arc/Arm - perfect amounts of toxic cuteness.
It is strangely comforting, the whole vibe of it - with the dramatic OST, the gestures of grandeur, and the whispers and the secrets, it shouldn't be a weekly comfort watch by any means, but I'm weird and it worked.
And I do recommend this. I'm not sure how convincing my arguments are, and I may be led to believe that this is very much a watch down to people's preferences, but I will recommend. Melody of Secrets is good. Trust me.
