Great to put in the background as you get shit done
The story is so gentle, calming and so damn slow.. I "binge" watched the whole thing in 3 days because nothing is happening to keep my attention enough to wait for a week and come back for a new episode......This is a period drama featuring same sex couples so you would expect a lot angst and hurdle but nope... The main couple is Thee and Rati.. Thee falls for Rati literally at first sight. Rati falls very soon after. They be all up in each others business in all the public places but never really gets caught!!! Considering the time period, affectionate hand holding, longing gazes between two males are scandalous! There is almost no angst in their relationship despite how doomed their situation would appear. Everyone (Thee's father, Rati's mom, the fiancé, the prince and all the attendees) except the two "villains" are very accepting and helpful! And they get a happy ending 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Then there are Mek and Dech. Their story had more going on. Mek is of a lower class and befriends Dech through muay fighting.. They started off as friends and it was interesting to see their friendship grow and then out of nowhere they be smooching???? Umm why though? Personally I felt it would have been better to keep them as friends than lovers. Their story is already interesting enough without pairing them up romantically with such short screen time. Maybe if they had more time on screen, it would have worked better?? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
I was looking forward to seeing how the relationship between Thee's father and his other family progresses but alas we get none of that! Rati also didn't say bye to his ma when leaving for France and I was side eying him so hard for that.. Also whatever happened to Dech's A-hole father.. like is he in jail? working as a servant? getting beaten to death?? Of course we don't know! Why waste precious time tying up loose ends when you can do time skips and sweep all the questions under the rug??? *smh*
That being said, the cinematography is great.. Rati is so beautiful it hurts... It's all shots after shots of GreatInn being romantic.. So yea, put on the show and catch up on those dishes or fold those laundries you all.. Cause you don't really need to pay attention but still have beautiful and romantic scenes in the background to make you feel single and lonely while you adult! 😹😹😹

- Non con is still SA
- SA is a major deal
- Trauma porn is exhausting
Now I am being a major hypocrite by giving it a 7/10. But despite throwing up in my mouth from the "plot", I could not stop watching. I guess Boom "got me infatuated.. Just by the way that" he acts LOL!
I'd still recommend it. And we NEED to talk about all the problematic parts.
