Flawed but precious
I would like to preface this by saying that this is the first Thai series to make me cry. Yes, there are Thai GLs and BLs that I absolutely adore and made me stare at a wall after finishing, but this one just hits different. You should have seen me ugly crying through the happy music in the credits of episode 7.
Story wise, it's not really original, but the leads' chemistry, as well as that angel of a sister, made it such a fun but a gut wrenching ride. I loved the enemies to lovers arc and the initial stark difference in personalities between the Wa and Four. I couldn't help but kick my feet when they first kissed (even though it could have been done under better circumstances) and found myself looking forward to more interactions between the leads, which doesn't happen very often when I am watching romantic series. Vivi also grew on me a lot in such a short amount of time and was the main reason why I was choking on tears near the end.
My complaint is that there weren't nearly enough kiss scenes in the series, and the final episode felt lackluster. Instead of getting a proper date after all the hell Wa, Four, and Vi went through, or perhaps a group hangout, we had a misplaced scene of Kei and Four. Khun also didn't have to be in the finale at all when the that scene's runtime could have been used to give us a final sneak peak into Wa and Four's relationship after they finally reunited, and possibly a much needed decent kissing scene to end things on a romantic note.
The show overall was too short. I wished we had seen more of Wa and Four as working adults, along with more of Four's family situation since it felt too glossed over, but despite the problems I personally had, it remains my favorite GL to date. This is definitely a step closer to that one GL I will rate 10/10 one day.
