What is the point of teasing serious plot if you want to do a cheesy melodrama?
Its not like this show is horrbly unwatchable. There is, definitely worse ones in both production and plot. But its hard to look at all this wadted potential andnot feel deeply disappointed.
But first the good things.
It is so very pretty. Atmospheric coloring, very well done choreography (of both dances and fights), all actors styled nicely. One of the best places to get your eye candy this spring/summer season.
Set up is also very intriguing. Both detective part (host getting kidnapped, killed or trafficed), social part (Wayu quitting university to support his struggling family) and even romantic one (with so much separating our main leads, from occupation to family situation).
Amazing support cast. Moonlight parts are definitely the best.
Unfortunately, it spectacularly flops on everything, except dances.
Krit as a detective is profoundly useless (from the very first time when hemanages to scare offthe vitness ready to file assult charges on his suspect). He does try. We get to see his thinking board and he does... stuff. But somehow all the progress is made by other people and in the end the case is closed offscreen with no definite villains named/punished beyond some off hand remarks. But Krit gets promoted andyou get to wonder if dad forced the case closed to protect his corrupt buddies.
Family struggles of both Wayu and Krit solved magicaly when plot convenient. This is extremely annoying, because everything is big deal before it gets solved with no effort from anyone. End if you can give a pass for mom beating gambling addiction or sister returning to family (even though that last one makes "daddy and papa" parts extremely strange if you let yourself think about it for an extra minute). Krits father... the way Krit breaks up with Wayu for his safety, so heart breaking, so dangerous. And its nothing. Dad does nothing and changes his mind in 2 episodes. Splendid.
Personally i am not a big fan of nc/intimacy scenes in this. Too comedic for my tastes straight into cringe territory next to bdsm gear from last episodes.
I think the only way to enjoy this is is you are die hard fan of main actors or just dont care if plot moves due to what is happening on screen or what author wants to happen.
