THE INTERNET LIED TO ME
I watched this because I got so many recommendations online and I have the feeling we either watched different series or I am just not the right person to watch this. Every time Thee started singing it was just cringing me out. I was not even there when Thee proposed and I still wanted to leave.
First couple of episodes were mostly okay though. Except Thee trying to pay Aran and intimidate him with guns, casually trying to SA him and everybody just accepted that? Like you all got no backbone, moral or something? And Aran you okay? Because your bf is somehow abussive and a random stranger just tried to buy you, but well okay, I guess that's life.
For Peach and Thee, they probably should have stayed friends, I never had the feeling they really liked each other, especially not Peach. Peach was good on his own and having Thee in his life was mostly a headache. Also Thee bearly learned anything about spending behavior or social skills. Peach just started to accept it, while Thee was constantly ignoring his boundaries. Like episode 9. "pls don't propose to me" episode 10 "proposed and immidiately get married". And not only that, Thee decided that while he can't even brush his own teeth and is as mature as a 3 year old, it is a great idea to adopt TWO children, without even getting consent from his partner. Peach will end up being a single mom for two children he never even asked for. And don't let me get started on eps. 10 "I don't need to ask for your consent since we are married now". No thank you Khun Thee.
I liked Moks character, he was also somehow the only reasonable character, but thier story didn't get enough attention at all. Same for Peachs and Plubs backstory. But there was a lot of guessing going on all the time. Like did Thee and Peach actually ever got physical? Who knows? Surely not me, because I thought they were just cuddeling the night at Peachs house until mum scolded them for not waiting until marriage. What was going on with the bracelet Mok gave Rome? Why would a CEO of a perfume company would be so endlessly rich if he is not acutally in the mafia, are you growing money trees? Is there secretly felix felicis in your perfume bottles? How can a company run by Thee survive at all? Whats has been going on between Tawan and Aran what made them breake up in the first place? What really happend at Thees birthday party? Also the whole plot of Peach getting financially stable to be able to adopt Plub out of the orphanage makes no sense at all (Thai law you have to be at least 15 years older than the child you adopt - which Peach surely isn't)
And also can someone explain me what nationality the wanna be mafia family has? Since Thee repeadetly gets scolded for his bad thai, which makes me think that he is not native. His family lives in Hongkong, but Thee somehow speaks thai and english with his family. And then his own brother, who unlike Thee, does not live or grew up in Thailand, corrects Thees thai? Are they Thai and Thee is somehow unable to speak his own native language? Or is Rome just language god and the whole family decided to learn Thai for funnsies?
Over all most of the story was poorly written and really predictable (like I knew they would adopt these children the first time they went to the orphanage). All threads like Wiwid and Shohei were not really threatening and didn't really had a proper motiavation or background story. They just appeared out of nowhere. The scene where Mok and Thee did fight the Shohei guy and just ended the whole thing with just one fist fight was so disappointing. I really did like the scene where Thee shoot Wiwid thoug, that was some really nice acting. And I also think Thee asking AI on how to life and buying gmmtv was somehow funny.
