Unfortunately… They Ate
I hate it when that bitch I hate serves.
Pai (Mark Jirantanin) and North (Poon Mitpakdee) are the grandsons of a millionaire CEO. Pai has been in a long-term relationship with Tim (Junior Panachai), a con artist who plans to steal Pai’s fortune from us. Meanwhile, North meets Yu (Ohm Thitiwat) on a trail, they get married quickly before North realizes he’s married an opportunist.
Next, this series really exceeded expectations; I wasn’t expecting such great chemistry from the four actors, and I really thought the couples’ dynamics were excellent.
After the disappointment that was the direction of Head2Head, I had zero expectations for this series. The plot is actually super interesting; as the episodes went by, the viewer got more and more hooked with every scene, waiting for them to figure out what you already know but want them to discover.
The couples acted SO naturally that I felt like I was getting in the way; they were so casual and had such a cute dynamic that it was truly satisfying to watch. The way the four actors conveyed that was truly admirable—I’m a huge fan of that.
The redemption arcs were also good. At first, the fact that Yu and North got back together faster than Tim and Dad made me a little pensive, but eventually it all made more sense. Yu and North had known each other for months, a year at most, while Tim and Dad had been together for four or five years, so it really does make sense. The characters’ personalities aligned with their redemption arcs and each character’s forgiveness; following the development of the four’s love was really cool too.
I just found the scene where Tim’s ex-lovers ruin the wedding a bit clunky; I think there were better ways to handle that revelation, but at the same time, I understand that choice.
Aesthetically, the series is based on a rom-com; it’s cute and briefly reminiscent of teen romances, with basic camera work that still works. The characters maintain their aesthetics, and they fit the settings. The personal development of the characters—MAINLY North’s—is visible, but not in a bad way; rather, it’s a “He evolved, and before I knew it, he was a totally different person.” About the bakery, about him no longer being a clueless guy.
The friendships were also interesting; North’s with Pure (Louis Thanawin) and Tim’s with Prem (Arm Weerayut) had good friendship dynamics. The family was also interesting; at first I thought the aunt would be a villain, but she was just a normal person, and that was really nice to see. The whole Kuea (Tittle Kirati) thing and Tim’s jealousy arc is something we see often, but I thought it fit really well. Overall, I really liked all the dynamics in general.
In short, it was a well-written script, the story was well-developed, and I really liked it as a whole. Sometimes New works, and this was one of those cases, but we’re not on good terms yet.
