A mediocre CH3 plot saved by the phenomenal LenaMiu
My Safe Zone is a story about childhood best friends Lin and Jane, who were separated when Lin went to New York for college. Lin, whose fiancé cheated on her just before they were to be married, has returned to Thailand, reuniting with Jane.
Let's get the bad parts out of the way first. It’s a typical CH3 plot, too many subplots squeezed into 8 episodes. It’s a show that should have been destined for mediocrity.
My Safe Zone should have been a boring, girl-kissing, cash-grab, except it stars Lena and Miu. These ladies are first-rate actresses who could hold their own in any production. Working together, they are magical; their chemistry is top-tier, and the director, Patchanee Charuchinda “U”, had the good sense to let them run with it. U is also directing PLs.Love, LenaMiu’s next series, so I have high hopes.
LenaMiu serves up tender moments, and navigating the hurdles in their relationship feels believable. I tear up for sad and happy moments in this series every time I watch it, and I have rewatched it several times. I find it to be one of the stories I turn to when real life is a downer and I need an uncomplicated emotional lift.
My Safe Zone is a mediocre story that becomes excellent thanks to great acting, directing, and phenomenal chemistry. If you enjoy a simple feel-good romance, this show will probably be in your rewatch list-it's certainly in mine.
