why finish? it didn't impress me past the first few episodes
this series unfortunately fell into a ditch after leaving the island. at least on the island, there was actual desire, exploration, and character development. Rak actually opened his heart to not only the island, but the people in it. it wasn't the best change-of-heart moment, but at least it was something.
the second these characters get to the city - i have no idea what i'm supposed to think. Rak puts an agreement forbidding love - sure...?
Mahasamut states his undying love for Rak - okay...?so, what's the agreement for then?
i had really high hopes for this couple from love in the air. i was obsessed with it, and when i saw the trailer for this series drop, i was pretty stoked.
unfortunately, good acting can't outshine a bad plot, and even in this case, Rak as a character just annoyed the shit out of me. he's super cold-hearted, but he's warming up to Mahasamut! oh wait, but now Rak won't talk to him... but then they have sex! now they're inseparable!
they portray the addiction of sex and the desire to be lusted after really poorly. i understand Rak's upbringing was bad, but i don't actually understand why he falls into the exact same trap, and the series never tries to explain it.
also, what even was the side couple? the impression that Vivi's flirting is explicit to Muk was really poor, and suddenly, after bullying the shit out of her, Vivi assumes they can live happily ever after. it was forced, and i never actually found myself rooting for them.
if this series was entirely set up around the island, i think i could get behind it. i continued my high hopes for a while, until i couldn't even stand to finish
it. unfortunately, nothing is motivating me to go back, and i definitely won't anytime soon.
