Very impressive start for a new production company
I was very hesitant to watch this at first because of the time travel love storyline. I’m usually not a fan with this because the scripts often are messy and rarely end well. However, I am really happy that I did not skip this series.
I placed spoilers at the end of this review.
The series was incredible. The script did an amazing job keeping me interested from beginning to end. Although the first episode was a little confusing with the multiple time jumps, it still did a great job setting up the story and characters. I also like how it did not take the completely predictable route with some of the story elements. They did a nice job interweaving some of Win’s memories in some of the episodes, but wish they used this more. The script was a little weak with not fully explaining some aspect of the storyline and characters. The entire cast, new and old, did an incredible job with portraying their characters. I usually don’t get impressed with the songs used in a series, but this had an outstanding soundtrack. Because the actors actually know how to play and sing, it helped me really get into their characters and storyline. The production team did an amazing job with the attention to details involving the costumes and props.
Random Note:
The Behind-the-Scenes footage at the end episode 10 was cool.
The location used for Win’s house was used in the movie “My Boo” (Joe’s house). It was also used for the series “Leap Day” (Ozone and Day’s house), “Bake Me Please” (Peace’s house), “Shadow” (Dan’s childhood home), “Sing Again” (Piano’s childhood home), “Mama Gogo” (Annie’s house), and “21 Days Theory” (Q’s house). I’m 90% certain that it was also used in the series “Happiness” (Dr. Beam’s childhood home).
The location used for Ek’s house was used in the series “Tale of Thousand Stars” (Tian’s parent’s house) and “SOTUS S” (Kongpob’s parent’s house). Yes, I’m a proud nerd about knowing this kind of stuff.
The English subtitles were actually very good on GagaOOLala for a change.
******Potential Spoiler Alert******
It was very wise for Win not to tell Biu about personal information regarding the future of the other.
There are some aspects of the script that could have been better explained. One example is it hinted that Ek has some type of social anxiety, but it did not fully explain this and how he overcame it. Another example is Chai. I had no clue he was in a gang until episode 5. Before this episode, I just thought he liked to fight and/or had a short temper.
I wish they did a quick flash-forward to the present to confirm the suggested happy ending with all the characters. However, I understand this was probably not in the budget because this would require more actors to play the older versions of Nut, Chai, Ek, and Biu.
