A Sweet Romance With Endearing Characters!
I went into My Sweetheart Jom expecting a light, slightly chaotic romantic comedy with a countryside twist. What I found instead was a slow burn gem with a gentle heartbeat, one that’s surprisingly grounded, deeply charming, and quietly thoughtful in how it builds character and community.
The setup is familiar on paper: city boy Yothin (Yo) ends up in rural Bang Pho after getting mixed up in city drama, where he’s placed under the supervision of Jomkhwan (Jom), the respected and quietly magnetic village head. But what unfolds across the first five episodes is far more nuanced than I expected.
Let’s talk about Yo. With a plot like this, I braced myself for a “spoiled brat turns soft” arc but that’s not what we get at all. Poom Nuttapart plays Yo with balance and surprising warmth. Even when Yo is clearly out of his element, he’s never truly unbearable. He’s observant. Curious. He pushes boundaries, yes, but more out of youthful energy than arrogance. And perhaps most importantly, there’s a maturity in Yo that makes his connection with Jom feel earned and real, not forced.
