Rak is the greenest green flag that ever flew.
"Us" is one of my all-time favorites. It's on my rewatch list, and even after several times, I still tear up in both happy and sad parts.
The screenwriters and director who built this beautiful love story from the dumpster fire of a novel by Chao Planoy did fantastic work and deserve credit for their willingness to make the necessary changes, which resulted in the best adaptation of any of Planoy's work to date. While it does still suffer from Planoy's tendency to throw every possible trauma at her characters, this adaptation manages to soften the conflicts that could have caused conflict between Rak and Pam and shifts the story into the type I prefer, where most of the challenges the couple must navigate that ultimately make them stronger are external to their relationship.
The chemistry between Emi and Boni is undeniable, and the acting and production quality in this series are excellent.
