The perks of an arranged marriage and a green-flag, lovely father make this a good series!
The perks of an arranged marriage and a green-flag, lovely father make this a good series!
This show has incredible dynamics that are clearly illustrated. Khem is the shiny, energetic "husband," while Rin is the cold, distant, shy, and timid wife who tries to play hard-to-get. Watching them navigate their relationship was so soothing; their playful foreplay and the chemistry are completely captivating as their energy is everywhere.
Rin's character progression and overall growth—as she flies from her "ex-life" into her "wife role"—is especially beautiful. Her sad, messy past is no joke; it is difficult to forget or forgive, making her afraid of building a new life and trusting in love and herself for a relation again.
On the other hand, Khem is a witty charmer. Despite having her own sufferings, she is full of joy for her wife. ><
However, the storyline fell short. It was too jumpy, rushed, and felt overly minimized. Even the heavy intimate scenes, which were supposed to be a highlight, sadly failed to spark. While the main characters' daily conversations carry a cool vibe in most of the episodes, the show felt like it lacks a solid plot outside of that.
On a side note, Rin's father completely stole the show. He might be the first GL series father I have ever loved! Khem, too, is an absolute husband material. XOX
Quotes:
"If you try letting go of your past, you'll see that I've always been by your side."
"If my wife's in pain, then so am I."
"I like it, though. I like it when you moan. I like it when you tremble under me. I also like it when you feel so good that you can't look at me."
"I was scared yet she was always there. Then, one day i finally realized what true love means. Love is not about giving but also receiving. It means allowing yourself to have feelings and be willing to love someone without fearing that it will come to an end. I never knew when I started falling for her. Now I believe wholeheartedly that love is real because it makes me want to spend rest of my life with her.
