A Nice Reunion Series.

Overall, this was enjoyable. Although the script and directing was not perfect, it still kept me invested in the storyline and characters.

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

The Positive:
The cast did an outstand job and it was cool to see Krist and Singto work together again. Each episode had a nice even pace with a good time balance between all of the storylines. It did not feel like one storyline overpowered the others. They also did a great job incorporating the flashback scenes throughout the series. The scenes were done in a way to give us the needed information without being confusing. It also had great music and cinematograph.

The Negative:
The beginning of the first episode was interesting enough to get me hooked, but didn’t like how they went straight into a comedy aspect with Phi and Tawan encountering each other again. For some reason, this seemed weird to me. This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I wanted to see a little more anguish from Tawan. The first half of the series was a little ruff because it had some odd placement of comedy between the two main characters. I felt that many of the scenes with Phi and Tawan would have been more effective with a serious tone instead of the comedy aspect they used. There were a few times I didn’t like Tawan. I don’t know if this was a problem with the script and/or poor directing. However, the character got better over time.

The In-Between:
I appreciate that they did not use the predictable relationship conflict scenarios we often see in the second to last episode of a series. The ending was heartwarming, cute, and uplifting, but had some weak aspects to it.

Random Notes:
Tawan’s house is the same one used in the series “To The Moon and Back” (Mata’s house), “I’m Tee, Me Too” (Watee’s house) and “Lovely Writer” (Gene’s garden house). Phi’s condo is the same one used in the series “Your Sky” (Muenfah’s Condo).

The silent nodes to Krist and Singto’s previous series (SOTUS) in episode 3 and obvious node in the last episode were cute.

Was the radio caller (Koa) on Paul’s show in episode 6 a silent nod to the series "Dark Blue Kiss"???? Maybe I’m reading to much into it.

******Potential Spoiler Alert******

This had a feeble redemption arc with the characters Te and Suwit.

Although it was not too bad, the 2-year time jump was completely unnecessary and came across as lazy writing. This may have been a silent node to how their “Our Skyy” episode ended.
