Hey, at least I don’t kiss my cousin
This show had really good potential, but they ruined it by rushing through the ending; that’s all you really need to know, lmao. But yay, I am going to yap about what I liked, what I didn’t (it’s lowkey a dogpile, my bad), and then do an episode overview. OH AND I would give it an 8.2 (but fuck that, I am gonna give it a 7) out of 10. Let’s run this shit (we finished this show the day it ended; I don’t know what’s taking me so long to write the review, but just ignore that).

One of the true greatest things in this show was Daddy Leng. I literally love him, and he is so fucking fine, so having him as one of the main characters was just a true pleasure on the eyes. He is also really good at acting, and I hope to see him in some more things that aren't absolutely ass lmao (I haven't finished Kidnap yet, but we are just gonna ignore that lmao).
I talk about this in my dislikes, but despite the start being ass, the second episode was mad addictive, and the way they had the perfect amount of everything in it really helped me not drop the show. I was actually intrigued and wanted to see what happened next, so that was good.
The whole plotline with the servants was literally one of the only good things that came out of this show. I wasn't expecting it, but part of me was really hoping for it, so when it happened, I got very excited. It was a true pleasure every time I saw them on screen, and I think the two of them actually have pretty good chemistry, so I would go back and watch just for them; I can’t lie. (One scene that comes to mind is when Gaew's servant, whose name I can’t be bothered to remember, is cock fighting with the others, and his man is just ogling him from afar, LIKE I AM SICK THAT WAS DONE SO WELL I LOVE THEM).
Another thing I liked was how everyone was a doctor in the future. Like they were all still connected somehow, and I loved that a lot. Do I think some part of that was a little ass? Yes, and I will talk about that in my dislikes, but I loved that, and it gave me some form of comfort, like no matter how many centuries go by, destiny always brought them back together. Some may even say it’s love destiny...see what I did there? I will be here all day, don't worry.
Followed by our side couple being enemies to lovers in the present and dating, and their sex scene, though random, was fire. Loved them, but they took away from the main couple a bit, which was irritating, but you know what fuck the cousin kissers. I feel like this show didn’t really need another side couple, but these two...it was just perfect in this weirdly imperfect way. I can’t really explain. I think that their plotline could have definitely used some work, but I think the fact they were together in the past and present really got me, because you know, dead gay people make me sad as fuck lmao. But yeah.
And I truly liked nothing else in this dumb ass show.
Dislikes:
Starting off INCREDIBLY STRONG with things I really didn’t like: THEY ARE COUSINS. Like, we find that out at the start, and I mean technically, because Great is a time traveler, he doesn’t see him as his cousin, but HE is in Gaew’s body, which SIDE NOTE MAKES THEM FUCKING COUSINS. LIKE WHY COULDN’T THEY BE FRIENDS OR ENEMIES, SOMETHING, BECAUSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY GNARLY AND VERY HARD TO IGNORE. ALSO, DECH KNOWS THAT HE IS HIS COUSIN AND STILL FELL FOR HIM???? I'M SICKKKK. I HOPE WE DIE.
Following this, I think that the start was confusing and not in a good way. Like not in an “oh wow, I can’t wait to see what happens next" kind of way; it was more in an “is it too late to drop the show” kind of way. But yeah, I feel like this was such an easy fix, just by adding more explanation to this episode, but no, we want to play in the audience’s face right out of the gates.
Another thing related to the start, but broader because it’s the start of each episode. THE RANDOM ASS CARD READING. Okay, so I understand what they were trying to do with that shit, like a My Magic prophecy kind of vibe, but do you want to know why that worked in that show? Because it is actually related to the premise of the show, not just thrown in there randomly because Great wanted to get turnt one day and get his cards read. That just doesn’t work at all, and it was a waste of fucking time for something that wasn’t even related to the show.
AI SLOP. I AM ACTUALLY SICK. The city was AI; like every time we saw that bitch, my friend and I skipped, like, actually, don’t piss me off. If I wanted to see AI, I would have watched those AI TikTok dramas come on now.
WE SLOW BURNED TO CLOSE TO THE SUN, AND IT EXPLODED ON US. The entire show was a slow burn, and for the majority of the show it worked, and I never thought I would say that, but it did, and then at the end, we smashed so much into 2 episodes and everything that we had built up in this show was for nothing and actually turned to slop, which I hated. Just awful. I feel like an easy fix would have been to add more episodes, but I also understand people have low attention spans and also it’s more money, so I think we just could have paced the show out better, keeping that slow burn, but not taking damn near 8 episodes out of 10 to fall in love.
Some of these episode endings were so abrupt it was making my head fucking spin. Like we would spend all episode DOING FUCKING NOTHING and then we would rush something at the end and just end it so randomly. Like I know why shows do that; it’s to get people hooked, but I don’t feel hooked. I just feel irritated, because every single episode they did that. I mean, that’s just bad screenwriting at that point; don’t piss me off. I am actually getting irritated thinking about it right now, like what the hell. Like, (sorry, going to continue ranting), I would have understood if they did this for just a couple of episodes, like truly I understand, BUT EVERY DAMN EPISODE WAS LIKE THIS, WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR BRAIN THAT CAUSED US TO DO THIS?
With that, Dech's doctor subplot. Like, truly, this could have been like our side couple and how they are together in the future, but we already knew that wasn’t going to happen because they weren’t together when what’s his face got transported (Great), but you know, we still could have made it work. BUT NOOOO, WE NUKED THAT SHIT. It would have been so good if we just slowly built up to every episode, but no, we missed that chance, and then that shit just felt random and rushed, like the entire latter half of the show.
Okay, also a follow-up: in episode 7, HE WAKES UP FROM THE COMA. Okay, so that would make sense, because Great and Gaew, I guess, technically switched bodies, so they are living in different time periods. BUT WE DON’T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT HIM WAKING UP FROM THE COMA, LIKE WHAT? So Gaew or Great, we don't know, wakes up in Great’s body and just looks confused, and THEN WE DON’T TOUCH ON IT EVER AGAIN UNTIL GREAT IS NOW IN THE PRESENT DAY AGAIN. WHY DID WE DO THIS IF IT SERVED NO PURPOSE TO THE PLOT? I’M CONFUSED.
THE BROTHER SHOULD HAVE DIED EARLIER; I’M SICK. I know we are all thinking that; I just had to go out and say it lmao. Why did we see him on screen, no joke, more than we saw our main couple? I am so lost on why they did that; why did he get depth, and truly, why do we care? We don’t; it’s actually that simple. And I actually can’t come up with a reason why they did that. Just pissing me off, silly.
Next up in bullshit that didn’t need to be in here: the random French side plot. Another case of, hey, if the show is centered around the main characters, why do the side characters have more depth than them? Make that make sense, truly, because it doesn’t. Like, I know they were trying to be time period accurate with a lot of these characters, but it felt very random in the grand scheme of things, and I didn’t really like that, like not at all. So fuck that.
Related to this, the costumes got a little fuzzy lmao. I think that all of the traditional Thai costumes ate, like that’s one thing they did good, but the...French ones were mad sus and look like they got that shit from Spirit Halloween; I am actually sick. I was also waiting for them to slip up and say something about Americans (because we lowkey weren’t a thing yet), but they didn’t, which I am happy about lmao.
And finally, the ending. I said this in my final review. "I wanted this show to be good too. I'm so sad. I wish it was 12 episodes. We set it up pretty okay, and the middle was good, and then the shit with the brother took away from the plot. Also, didn’t he wake up? Also, we fucked up the plot pacing badly. Tying them by fate is so fucking random. This happened at the start. This was done terribly. The part where he is coming back. Muen not reacting at all. We slow-burned for 7/10 episodes, and now this is what we get: a plot that hardly makes sense. This flashback means nothing bc this show was done so poorly with plot pacing. Total Drama Island, ah name. Leng was fucking it up. Scooby-Doo ah reveal with the glasses. I’m done with them." And I really wanted this show to be good; I did, but no one cares about my wants in a review. It’s all about what I am given, and truly I was really disappointed, and the ending was no different.
Episode overview time! (These are just my thoughts from the episodes, so please enjoy lmao):
Episode 1: “I think I was really confused, and I don’t quite enjoy being confused, so yeah. But they r cousins...which I am not fond of.”
Episode 2: “Hoping it’s a distant relative and not a sister.”
Episode 3: “I mean, technically Dech is a cousin kisser, and Great isn’t, but you know.”
Episode 4: "MI BOMBO, WE ARE KISSING OUR COUSIN, I REPEAT, WE ARE KISSING OUR COUSIN."
Episode 5: "Prince Ali ass back track. Luke got a Spirit Halloween ass costume on fr." "ARCH WHEREEEEE. I’m sickkk. COUSIN KISSSERRR."
Episode 6: "WHY DO WE WAIT TILL THE END TO DO SHIT? I’M SO IRRITATED, RUN ME MY MONEY NOWWWW, BITCH, I’M NOT PLAYING. I KNEW DECH WAS A DOCTOR, LIKE I FELT THAT IN MY PUSSY FR FR. BUT DECH BIG AS FUCK, I NEED HIM BAD. BUT DADA LENG, MY JIZZLE, I DON’T PLAY ABOUT HIS SEXY ASS; HE IS LUCKY I AM NOT IN FRONT OF THAT. Love moles, almost as much as we love our cousin...right right right. At least I don’t kiss my cousin...or wait, I’m sorry, edge my cousin lmaooo."
Episode 7: "THE SERVANTS HELLO? The heart wavered, the mind wandered, the full nine yards. SO WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT TRIP? I DESPERATELY WANT TO KNOW. Dech got hella rizz, im dead. We are officially a cousin pecker bc that was weak af. Make out when? I literally couldn’t give a fuck about the brother. HELLO, WE R UP FROM OUR COMA?"
Episode 8: "Can't yell at him and go sit 3 steps away. At least go to your room." "We have one damn xylophone sound effect bc holy shit. DOWN AND DIRTY KRATHONGS IN HAND. I’m dead. Booty call but we walking in the water."
Episode 9: "CAN WE PLEASE FOCUS ON OUR COUPLE AND NOT THE BROTHER? I'm so done. Just bc we wrote a few poems, ain’t no one give a damn. Yay, your brother just got exiled; let’s go play in the water !!! WE'RE RIDING A LOT MORE THAN THE WAVES. Cousin fucker btw. Randomly stop the French subplot because, god forbid, we pay attention to our main couple. I'm sick of English fr fr. The brother got fucking executed. Right."
Episode 10: "This flashback means nothing bc this show was done so poorly with plot pacing. Total Drama Island, ah name. Leng was fucking it up. Scooby-Doo ah reveal with the glasses. I’m done with them."
Yeah, so maybe don't watch this one. Of course you can make your own decisions, but I think with the starting episodes your expectations will be really high, and then they are just going to get fucking crushed. So save yourself the time and just don’t watch this shit lmao. Okay bye!
