A sweet throuple!
This show is very fun! I genuinely looked forward to the episodes each week.
The plot is instantly interesting as it begins as some sort of study about marriage, relationships and what it means for a society, for its people and how diverse versions of union are now appearing! Very in tune with our world, which i appreciated.
Now, for the story, I enjoyed how, for each characters, as the throuple relationship progresses, we had the chance to explore their background and insecurities without never putting one of them as being "wrong". We could learn about their motivations, their fears, their obstacles and it showed that at the end of the day it is all about perspectives, that it is obviously very subjective and what matters is communication, time and being able to embrace your partners (which they always end up doing). Even the moms, after being shocked, end up accepting their love and this is SO important. In a way, it was a rather genuine depiction of a throuple, slightly comedic but very humane and sincere!
I think it lacks a bit of that queer lense, essentially in the writing . It almost feels like someone who never experienced queer love or even imagined being in a throuple decided to make a series about a queer poly relationship...BUT i'm not mad at it bcs it is made with care, respect and again sincerity so imho, it's fine!
Overall, Sannin Fufu was a lovely project, a bit funny on the edges, sometimes sweet and warm, not necessarily deep but it told a real story. A story of people finding and embracing each other, people being in love in the way that feels right to them and I think that is important in itself and enough!
It’s either the three of us or none of us <3
Little mention for the narration from the pet rabbit, Pakhun, which was an absolutely sweet nod hehe
