I'm glad I don't know these annoying fuckers irl.
I was super excited to watch this but I sadly had to wait until everything was aired because I barely had time to keep up. If I'm honest my only reason for watching this was Kim Pongsaton.... I really loved this show but genuinely I would be so pissed of at SamJam if they were real. They were really cute but they were kissing and flirting everywhere and it made me, as a watcher, feel like a third wheel. Also I got heavy second hand embarrassment from this show. I think it was quite funny but the production and acting was a bit ehhh.
I feel like the biggest problem is the amount of Thai wordplay used in the show. Luckily I can understand Thai on certain levels bu tI feel like you won't really be able to understand this all if you're not able to speak Thai. For example at first Jam calls Sam 'Khun Sam" aka Mr.Sam but Sam begs him to just use "Sam / P'Sam". But the subtitles do not explain that quite well. Also there is no explanation of the Thai wordplay sentences. There's a scene where they keep using it and it might just confuse non Thai speakers who watch it.
Sooo the show it called Your Third because Jam is supposed to be like the third option (again something within the wordplay). But in the show, they really failed to share that message. So the thing is, Sam has 3 options and his first pick was Pimai, then Wasin and Jam was sort of the third option. I mean there was barely any chemistry between Sam and Pimai, same goes for Sam and Wasin. Wasin doesn't even feel like a second option because it's kinda unrequited love from Wasin's side.
I feel like there was a big information dump the first 2 episodes and after that, most of the information wasn't even necessary. Due to that I really only remembered Jam being able to speak those languages, being Japanese(?) and working under Sib. I honestly didn't even realise who Sib was because I wasn't able to tie a face to him only to realise he was the one who married Pimai at the fucking LAST episode. I find Song and Jam's friendship so adorable and I love how he was kinda 'close' to both of Sam's brothers.
As for the production, everything looks amazing but there's some slight problems and some were quite funny. I think the acting wasn't amazing but I feel like that was the whole point. MaxNat are amazing actors but the whole point was for it to be funny so I'll excuse that. If I'm very honest, I'm not a big fan of Cheewin Thanamin. I think he made amazing things but there's a lot between it that I'm a bit debated about. But over to the mistake, IN ONE SCENE U CAN SEE A MISTAKE OF A LIGHT (episode 11 at 22:35). It's honestly funny rather than irritating but I have to say, it's crazy they didn't notice this during the editing. It might've been a too important scene to like randomly cut idk but it looks so funny.
One of the small things that I was also kinda irritated about is how often they married in that show. I think we got at least like 4 marriages? I mean I don't mind but it was quite much. Also especially for SamJam, it feels like they married quite short after they dated. The series didn't exactly show amazing time skips which just got me confused a lot of the time. I was for real rooting for the side characters but there wasn't a huge drama so it was just hoping they would get their own partners.
I actually preferred SamJam when they were alone together and didn't exactly 'like' each other. It was such a sweet time and they seemed to be really different than when they were with family and everything. Also I was really mad at Jam for acting like nothing happened and randomly walking away after a hookup? Like whatttt. I couln't help but feel even worse for Sam.
This definitely is a feel good but I wouldn't suggest it on it's acting. Again, if you don't speak Thai you might not understand certain scene's. Kim actually had more scene's than expected and he was sooo cute as a ghost. Makes me think, would he be the like fourth option?? Anyways, I personally really liked it but I think it just really depends on why you watch certain things. If it's on production this would be a huge no.
