Wasted potential
When I first read the plot and watched the trailer I was so excited to follow the journey of Teerak and Muenfah — such a pity that the main plot that I had learned about and loved so much was lost somewhere midway through the series. Oh was the main villain but also an important character for the storyline that they set up as he basically was the reason for it so once they got rid of him around ep 5… the show lost its initial purpose. I wouldn’t even notice it probably if the storyline’d remain interesting but Teerak’s and Fah’s relationship was simply boring. It was only getting worse plot-wisely. It lost its course completely and became a plotless, basic and, dare I say, boring drama. They focused on building up the relationship of the main characters but there was nothing special about them or their background, they faced common problems that we’ve seen in hundreds other series already. The fake dating thing was actually interesting and in a way quite unique — such a pity they threw it away so quickly and chose the most basic way forward. Of course, there are events in the show that I enjoyed very much but they were strongly overshadowed by the dragging of those useless plot points . If I were to touch the acting — I was VERY impressed. I love the way Kong portrays Teerak and Teerak’s mother did a significantly GREAT job as well. All the friendships felt overall very natural and playful which made watching the series a pleasurable experience in this certain aspect of it HOWEVER — Thomas. I feel like he lost Muenfah a bit. I met Fah as this cold person that everyone was afraid of but learned that he has a soft spot for Teerak, that gave his character a bit of depth which sadly was getting shallower and shallower as we were getting nearer the end. At some point Fah was a completely different smiley fluffy person which felt fake most of the times. It could’ve been a scenario issue tho. I was very pleasantly surprised by Real and Hia. Their storyline was a bit toxic with all the forcing that was going on but their relationship seemed very personal, special and one-of-a-kind type of shiat. I wish we could get more of Por and TeeTee instead of endless fluff and mostly uninteresting problems of the main characters.
