Despite some rather melodramatic supernatural crises this was an incredibly flaccid supernatural romance. Character stories never went anywhere; so much of what was begun ended up just hanging in the air, never to be resolved. The actors were cute, but unconvincing, the third wheel was unlikeable, and one of the supporting characters was more compelling than the leads, and he kind of got a resolution of sorts. I honestly did come back to this each week, despite its deeply mediocre production and writing, but only because the cast was so decorative.

I will never be even slightly tempted to re-watch this, but I hope to see the actor who played Tong (Yuuki) put to better use in other dramas. He was the best of a very middling group of cuties, and his character had an actual arc, which nobody else did, not even the leads. It would have been so easy to pull an arc out of phloeng’s disbelief, or Win’s fears, but no. Neither was apparently at all changed, either by events, or the relationship.

Speaking of which, there was never any apparent deepening of the relationship. Win just suddenly welcomed Phloeng’s intimacy, so they were intimate. The relationship felt like it went on off-screen, while we were dealing with other plot elements. seriously, I had no idea what Win was thinking or feeling at any point.

Namo was into Wayu, but it never went anywhere. The rabbit ended up paired off, despite being a total loose thread, so I guess that was a resolution. I’m at a loss, really. I don’t know what the minds behind this were thinking.
