This show was not what I expected it to be. From the description and trailers, I expected a lot more romantic tension and miscommunication between the leads. Instead, this story ended up being a lot less about the relationship and more about family circumstances.

Dokrak (Bonnie) agrees to help her brother Kawi (Sing) win over Pam (Emi) by drawing her postcards. Everything seems to be going well between Kawi and Pam, but as Dokrak and Pam also become closer, it's clear that Dokrak has feelings for her. As Pam insists on learning more about Dokrak's strained relationship with her family, it's hard to tell what Pam's motives are - her feelings for Kawi, emerging feelings for Dokrak, or personal gain. Once Pam and Dokrak become closer, the two will have to choose between keeping the peace or revealing their feelings.

I wanted so much more from this relationship. I was super excited to see Emi and Bonnie together, and while I loved their portrayal of these characters, everything felt too easy for the relationship. I wanted more conflict with Kawi, more angst, and more hardship for the main two. It just felt like after they were together, the relationship immediately had no impact on the story. This show definitely revolves more around family issues for both characters, and their relationship fades into the background after the first few episodes. While I thought they had great chemistry (and hope to see them act together again), I do wish we could have gotten a little more relationship drama and a little less family drama. Still a fun watch, but left me wanting a bit more.
