A cultural masterpiece and cinematography but failed in entertainment value
Let’s start by congratulating Idol Factory Production on the huge improvement in this series. It’s clear they now have the budget to bring in a strong production crew, with cinematography at its finest.
From a viewer’s perspective—and not being a Thai native, since the series highlights Thai cultural heritage—I found it lacking in entertainment value. Across its 16 episodes, it failed to capture the thrill, fun, and romance one might expect. To me, it felt more like the love story of two noble women who began as friends and ended with a fairy-tale happily ever after. There wasn’t much to look forward to in each episode beyond the dialogue and food, and if it weren’t for Loknam’s character, I wouldn’t have even found a reason to smile while watching this lengthy series. I also felt it was too much to have two other noble women in love with Becky’s character. It didn’t feel realistic, as there were already too many men and women drawn to her, making the character seem overrated. And then there’s Freen’s character, which felt like a huge shift for viewers who previously saw her as the dominant lead in Gap the Series. This time, the portrayal came across as cringy, since her character was made overly ignorant, and from start to finish, there wasn’t much to her role beyond being naive. They could have shown her character evolve as she grew up, which would have added more depth. As far as the actors are concerned, Freen and Becky delivered as expected. These two women have such natural chemistry that their performances felt genuinely believable. Even when the storyline or character development fell short, their acting managed to hold the viewer’s attention and make the emotions on screen feel real. I also want to commend Loknam for being an excellent supporting role. She consistently brings comedic fun to every character she plays under Idol Factory, adding much-needed lightness and charm to the series.
Overall, the series isn’t a bad watch—I managed to get through it even after it had already ended several months ago. However, once I finished it, I found it memorable but not something I’d rewatch the way I did with Gap and other GL series.
