Bonus points for the cat. Always bonus points for the cat.

This was incredibly sweet and clearly pandered to the fans of SOTUS and KristSingto.
Don’t get me wrong — I loved the show and had a blast watching it. I screamed at some scenes, cried at others, and absolutely enjoyed all the hidden Easter eggs. It’s a sweet cheese fest with a pinch of angst and and some pining which is always appreciated.
But I also have to be honest with myself: the plot was… cliche.
Yeah, they deserved something more thrilling. More innovative. More shocking. I don’t know — something Emmy-worthy! You get what I mean, right? Something extraordinary. Something that says, “Yes, this is art.”
Am I being dramatic? Possibly. Do I care? Not really. Let me have my dramatic monologue.
This was super cute and delightfully silly (seriously though, who goes into the sea with an open wound? Antibiotics said “noооо”). But it was also so much fun! Just a light, fluffy romance with two main characters… and a cat.
They both healed their hearts with each other’s support, while also coming to terms with the mistakes of their past.
I liked that it started with Phi being super rough — to the point where I actually found him kind of annoying. He definitely crossed a few lines. But as it turns out, he’s just terrible at managing his emotions because he’s sad and hurt. While that doesn't excuse his behavior, it does make it understandable. maybe ... Tam, on the other hand, was insecure, a little jealous, sunshine in human form, and an absolute king of flirting. It broke my heart to see how much he had lost — and how hard he tried to protect Phi from more pain.
Together, they were tender, playful, and so easy to love for. Exactly what I want in a feel-good romcom. This was a story about second chances, emotional healing, and the kind of love that teaches you to be honest — with others, and with yourself.
The girls were tolerable — a bit annoying at times, but generally funny. I have to admit, I actually liked Kaoki, and overall, they didn't bother me like female characters sometimes tend to.

Okay, I admit it – I’m a big fan of Sosay and her vet.(=^ - ^=)

All in all, this was a great series that I would recommend to anyone who loves a good romcom and lovable MCs.

7.5 stars from me — mostly because Krist and Singto deserve so much more. (Yep… I’m totally biased.)
