the best series so far, and deep spoiler alert!
Wabi Sabi really doesnt disappoint when it comes to the heartbreaking and tear-jerking story plot.I love how the actors portrayed Typhoon and Tonfah characters. It's like they really came out of the novel (yes, I read the novel). The chemistry between them is really top-notch. Every time they look at each other, you can feel the yearning without them saying a single word (it's so rare to have actors that can act by using the eyes only). But what I really love about this series is that it shows the importance of acceptance and putting yourself first, especially in loving yourself. even the friendship is a chef's kiss!
It's about this innocent Cutie Patottie camera lover and love letter, Typhoon (character's name), who is his asshole womanizer, not suited to becoming a parent father abused him his entire childhood and now blamed him for everything and the death of his sister so because of this, he developed a deep-rooted trauma and his nyctophobia. He got reunited after 3 years of no-contact separation with childhood friend (and crush) Tonfah (character's name), the nerd, and a wolf in sheep's clothing. So, when the good-for-nothing father found out that typhoon had gone after Tonfah, he forbade and manipulated him again to not meet Tonfah ever again because the father was afraid his secrets would come out. Then typhoon, the ever, so innocent, chose his father's manipulation, which left Tonfah questioning himself about why the child ignoring him when he did his best to take care and spent his time tutoring his not so-"little brother" and even losing his self-confidence. This is when the story really starts.
So overall, after watching the entire 8 episodes, dare I say this is the best series I've watched so far. While watching, I was crying, laughing, stressing, shouting, then crying and laughing again. The couple is the fluffiest pair in fourever you parallel, and I love it. Even though there's some important parts from the novel that they did not put or follow regardless, they still nailed it. Kudos to the team that made this adaptation beautiful.
The ost, both the Thai and Japanese ones, are a 10/10.
