A sweet love story if you squint, ignore all logic and pretend your brain is on vacation!
This is a drama I would have definitely enjoyed a few years back or when I was a teenager.
Teerak who is supposed to be on the cusp of "adulthood" , can't take the most basic steps without relying on others. The constant indecision and need for validation from others felt like an unnecessary plot device. Instead of exploring the genuine struggles and challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood, he ended up being reduced to mere caricatures of helplessness! Also, his sister's constant interference in his life wasn't helping the case. Though he does improve over time, the development feels too little, too late.
Muenfah on the other hand was the ultimate Tsundere, cold on the outside but warm underneath. I found his character rather endearing, driven by logic and reason, a contrast to Teerak's emotional turbulence.
Don't get me wrong, Teerak and Muenfah's relationship was sweet and they had good chemistry but it felt very surface level. I felt no real depth in both their characters.
The camaraderie between Teerak and his friends and Muenfah with his group, however was the highlight. Their interactions offered a welcome distraction and kept me invested in the story.
The second couple, Real & Hia provided somehow the comedic relief but somehow their love story wasn't convincing. The pace felt off and uneven. I wish they gave them more screentime to make their love more believable because they definitely had chemistry.
Acting : Thomas's acting was decent and believable, but Kong's performance in the emotional scenes felt somewhat underwhelming. The supporting cast also does a good job with what the script has to offer. Again, the characters are not written with enough emotional depth for me to see if they were really good or bad.
In the end, this drama missed more than it hit. While it's certainly light-hearted and digestible , a perfect palate cleanser, it lacked the substance and emotional depth that might have made it memorable. Recommended only if you're in the mood for something easy and don't mind characters who behave like toddlers.
