Penguin Only

If you are inclined to watch this do not go into it with any expectations and you won't be disappointed. Yes it was scattered, poorly written and unbelievably stupid. I fully supported releasing the last 3 episodes together. Why stretch the unbearable? A better script might have them becoming shape shifters, exploring the world by night but living their animal form by day. Then a catalyst happens forcing them to make a choice. Their choice would include being adopted by Ton and Nam with Jeng and Jod as friends in their escapades. No, what we got was a whole lot of nonsense, with irritating side characters and with outlandish plot twists. Eliminate the rest of supporting cast and the money saved could have gone into more cgi to enhance the plot.

Then I remember Penguin and I'm okay with some aspects. He is innocent, naive, sassy with a big heart. He was the only reason that would excuse wasting 8 hrs of mind blowing nonsensical. Sun, rubbing his face against Junior aka Penguin and resting his head on Junior's shoulder while telling him how much he loved him, made for a very sweet moment. Junior crying in ep 10 undid me. His process of deduction and internal conversations are humerous. That is all.

Take Junior and Sun out and you can burn the rest. For relative newbies they were okay, especially Jay. I do hope they get better scripts because they are cute together. I can not recommend watching this. No, I really can not. Go to a real zoo instead.

Worth every second

Very rarely have I a seen a drama that pulls the water works out. Every story within the main story was brought to an expected end. None were rushed or left open ended. Which I loved.

Nut and Plan brought out their best work without relying on nc scenes to make their story believable and complete. Phob and Phat's timely meeting set the tone and pace of the series. Every nuanced expression and emotion was felt. The ending was expected because a love like that just isn't forgotten.

The imagery, costuming and ghostly effects were great without going over the top. The three main shooting locations did become tedious to see but budgets to consider was acceptable. Only peeve, Phat's mother seemed invisible until needed. It seemed days would pass without seeing each other.

I would recommend watching over a period of days to truly enjoy the story and everyone's performance. In a era where fast food is easily accessible this was like a nice meal.

Sorn The Whipped

Let's face it. The only reason to watch this was to see how far they would go. You'd think there wasn't anything that was omitted in My Stubborn, they proved me wrong. If the plot was how well Jun absorbed all of Sorn's teaching. They succeeded. The script was like an improv piece. Just responses with little to no real direction.

I did like seeing that Jun received the advice given by Win in the right vein. Sorn appreciated the extra love shown to him. I didn't like seeing him a bit insecure because of it. In the end, Sorn adoring Jun was beautiful to see. The ending on the yacht, perfect.

BoatOat will be missed. Put aside the nc. They interract well together. With a better script, I'll be there again watching them.

Not Needed At All

From the previous review, I will still state that they have struck gold with these two actors. What I will say now is that it is wasted. These 4 episodes were not needed at all to enhance the previous story. It led nowhere and the natural chemistry between them is wasted. Why expound on the past that was already explained? The ending of the previous showed that they had reconciled but with baggage - Dae Yeong's cheating and Jeong Ha's dependency on him. This would have been a better story for them to deal with day to day conflicts because of the tainted relationship. A crying DY would have stretched his acting skills to pull in the audience more. An independent JH would show him asserting himself and not be clinging to DY for support with a final reconciliation. Choi and Jeong appeared lazy in their roles with no real meat to chew on. It was disheartening to see a poorly written script passed off as content. This is Sukfilm's weakness and it is hampering their growth. Their are other stories to tell and I hope they do. Choi and Jeong have "it", please don't waste it. Watching this before the previous episodes might make a better experience.
