I finished this SO FAST! First show that compelled me to write a review!
I have so many things to say about this show and story so I am going to try to break it down the best I can.I have read previous reviews and I can agree at some points this show wasn’t perfect but it’s by far one of the best I’ve seen by GMMTV in a long time. This story isn’t for those who just want romance every episode or for those who want the strongest plot in the world. While it has those strengths it’s so MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
This story is fantastic in my opinion, the lessons learned by everyone, the emotions, the reality and the maturity of this story are what makes it stand out.
This story hits every box when it comes to an idol being in a relationship and especially an Idols’s first love. William does a great job at show his naivety and misunderstanding of love. What it means to fall in love as an idol and the things that go against you in society. His acting was so compelling especially when you understand that he himself is an idol and has understood this story like no one else. I think GMMTV made the right choice by choosing the LYKN members to play them as it made the story feel all that more real and personal. I cannot tell you how many times I cried just by the pure emotion each member of the group showed in their journey to be successful. These all being real issues idols deal with in any group.
Then we have Po. Someone who had all his life come crashing down on him when he gave up a job to pursue his love life, unfortunately to his own detriment. His self esteem is broken down and he’s working hard to rebuild that. He doesn’t know how to live his life after Earn and he keeps trying to focus on other things than his emotions. That is until he meets Thame. Thame opens him up and gives him something else to worry about. Thame take his time to care for Po. Even if their moments aren’t OVERLY intimate I believe it’s made up for by the emotions that are constantly lingering in the air. The way you can read their emotions in every scene. The way the both sacrifice for one another. They learned together how to love and love properly. It was so beautiful to watch and the CHEMISTRY?? undeniable..
The music, I need not to say much as it was practically flawless. Williams ability to convey emotion through singing!!! It honestly leaves me speechless. The songs feel very representative of an idol group. They even add to the story and make it all that more engaging.
I could seriously go on about this drama forever. I haven’t felt this strongly about one that I have watched in a long time. It was to me, flawless!
I highly recommend this drama. Even though it is sort of a slow burn. It’s entirely worth it!! The chemistry is natural and it doesn’t have to rely on NC scenes for romance like others. The romance and struggle is seen throughout it all.
I can’t wait to see what William, EST and LYKN have to show us in the future!!
