A bit undercooked

Ya’ll had me scared when you said the last two episodes ruined the whole story but like, I’ve seen much worse.


Acting:

Offroad, Bright, and Jam were lovely. They did a great job in their roles and made me happy and sad when they were supposed to. Everyone was just kind of there tbh. Maybe it’s because their characters were either meh or not fleshed out well enough, but I don’t even feel the need to note anything about the rest of the cast.

Writing:

Not the greatest story overall, but it had it’s moments. I think they could have done a lot more with this concept. My main issues were that there needed to be more time given to the whole loan shark situation before episode 6, we needed more from the side characters, and the side couple should have never existed as they were annoying and added nothing to the story. Obviously the whole kidnapping-debt thing was wild and poorly executed, but I wouldn’t say it was as bad as some of the plots I’ve seen thus far. It just needed a bit more. Loved the development of Yang and Phumjai’s relationship though, it was very cute. Love a good bi-awakening/panic situation. Love a matching pretty necklaces. Love a good Daou side profile shot. Love a good Offroad smile.

Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:

Pretty good chemistry, they performed very well together. This definitely works as a romance. Not the romance of the century or anything, but a lovely little love story. Kissing was good and pretty realistic. Does have that little issue of odd looking cheek kisses I see in a lot of dramas but I can get over that if the actual kisses are well performed.

NC Scene:

Honestly, took me a bit by surprise here. Did not expect some convenience store hanky panky in this series. The aggressive slamming against metal shelves hurt my back a little. But it was pretty solid stuff overall. Love a good passionate “I need you right now” moment.

Music/SFX:

A couple emotional scenes with weird music choices. Overall, it was good though. SFX were fine, nothing too jarring.

This was a cute little watch. Nothing blew me away, but I enjoyed watching it.

Now, for some highlights from my notes:

- Offroad too cute to handle
- Lmao that Brillo pads shirt
- Hold on… Are we just making slut shaming a plotpoint or… Like let a girle live, damn
- Daou got MAD side profile 10/10
- What page was bro on that the kiss blindsided him?
- Genuine question, is every character except Yang and Tammy fucking stupid?
- Tag and big bro need to be deleted from this series, they are annoying and add nothing
- Okay things are taking a bit of a turn here
- What is this attitude from Mr Stay Away From My Brother?
- Ouch lol why are we slamming into those metal shelves like that
- Yang’s little smirk after taking off Phumjai’s shirt got me giggling teehee
- They gonna get him forklift certified or…
- “You’re gonna work for us in the dirty business of inefficient warehouse management”
- T-t-tape? Who are these monsters?
- I did some calculations and in order to pay back a 1,000,000 Yuan loan (with a monthly interest rate of 2.2%) in the seemingly very short amount of time (let’s say 2 years) the evil guy is asking, you would have to be making monthly payments of like 200,000 THB to pay it off… That’s wild. Also all of my estimates and math may be suuper wrong… I’m not a finance major…
- Who just has $6,200 in cash ready to go like that?
- Girlies need to chill fr like ya’ll saw the aftermath of them passionately fucking in the store you work in like everyday lmao a tender kissing moment should not have you screaming
- Okay, maybe a bit more than tender
- How are we able to open another store? Please, explain it to me. You are not in the place to be doing all that rn
- Girly wrote their story? Lmao
