A comfort GL!
"When one door closes, another one always opens."
I have totally fallen in love with this series. It features such an adorable script that brought many of my favourite characters to life. I had a very cheerful time watching this. It is the perfect series for MilkLove, focusing on adult life in society after their high school concept series, 23.5.
I am totally in love with the amazing, sweetest, and hard-working Maewnam. Every single time I believe Love couldn't get any cuter, she proves me wrong with a potential comeback. My god, Maewnam is AWESOME. Like, what can't she do? She teaches at a university and works for her Maewnam service—which puts A LOT on her plate—and my ma'am, I beg, the way she goes all the way to help and support her Wan! I just can't stop admiring her. XD
I really liked the way Wan was written. She isn't instantly down-bad for Maewnam. In fact, it's such a good take on Love's character falling in love first here, whereas in 23.5, Milk's character did. Although I strongly think Maewnam fell first and harder, there's something about Wan—the way she didn't immediately jump into a romantic relationship and took her time. Even though Maewnam is easy to fall in love with and the most AMAZING person (ahem), Wan insisted on standing her ground. Silly me felt happy at how Wan "graded" Maewnam for her romantic interest, especially since we have Mae as a teacher. Such a subtle detail!
Precisely, Wan was not excessively rich in her profession or too passionate like Mae, who already knows what makes her happy and is decided. Wan confuses, explores, questions, trips, and takes time; the more unsteady she is, the more relatable she becomes. More importantly, she never wanted to be dependent on others. It's like reading about a very relatable character from a YA book.
Their bond will be my favourite. They have an essence full of passion and true love for each other.
"We're just facing a storm. There might be some damage, but once the storm passes, we can repair it. Just don't give up." — Maewnam
I can't get enough of how Maewnam is always there, ready to motivate and guide Wan, all without being asked. Imagine what more she would be ready to do if Wan just asked. GOSH! MAY THIS KIND OF LOVE FIND ME.
I also liked Tonnam and Chomphu. You see, at first, it could be triggering how Chom kept asking Tonnam whether she was mad while constantly letting things happen that hurt Tonnam—the perks of being in a relationship with a person who hasn't come out to anyone yet. That's the exact point that had me hooked at the start of the series. Seeing Tonnam unable to be mad or sad at Chom for how things were—because doing so would make Chom feel bad for making her feel that way—was pure drama. It was a brilliant concept that I observed and grew to understand. Thankfully, Chom came out to her mother later. ;)
I didn't know Jingjing was in this. HOW DID I MISS IT? Her role, Manmuk, is eye candy. I kind of felt the role was similar to her Wine role from Enemies With Benefits. It could just be me, but the cold arrogance she sparks is surely effective.
It would be really good if Piploy had a GL project with her own partner. I want to see her more in a main character role; she and Kapook could just sit and do nothing, and I would watch them for hours, lol.
Maewnam: "Is this place selling love too?"
Wan: "Not anymore. Because I already gave it all to you."
Never in my life would I have thought I would like these cheesy lines, damn it! ><
Everything in this series was a chef's kiss. Every single character and every connection they built feels like home. It is one of my favourite series from now on.
P.s. This series represents a toxic-free, envy-free romance, which I am always up for.
"It's our success together anyway."
