Another series from the FirstKhao duo—this time a cute and calm story, but because of that it also feels a bit boring at times? There’s basically no proper cliffhanger here, which makes the story feel somewhat flat. Maybe I’m just being picky, but I really miss some kind of tension.

Going back to the beginning of the story, the conflict between the son and his mother feels pretty forced. The whole conflict is because the mother takes care of cats that destroy the son’s things? Did I misunderstand something? He resents his mother for overly caring about the cats that ruin his belongings. He even claims she cares more about them than about him, then leaves home and doesn’t contact her at all? o.O I don’t understand what kind of personality you’d need to behave like that. Aside from those unfortunate cats, the mother didn’t hurt him in any way that would justify punishing her with silence like this... very strange, and it doesn’t fit the character played by Khao.

This plot point just didn’t work for me. So yeah, a nice story, but like I said—kind of flat. For FirstKhao fans, it’s an interesting change from their previous projects, and of course the actors are great <3
