Fun and Entertaining Nonsense!
Just done watching and honestly have mixed feelings. I was expecting a toxic, fake boyfriend/friends-with-benefits kind of drama when I first saw the synopsis, but wow, Wandee Goodday really surprised me. It turned out to be a green flag romcom! I probably wouldn’t have watched it if it didn’t have the asexual character tag, but I’m glad I stuck around. Sure, there were a lot of cringy moments, but the chemistry between the two leads was on point, and the actors nailed their roles.
Let’s start with Yoryak—he was the true green flag here. I loved him! He was such a solid character. But the moment in the last episode where he won the fight in the ring and said it was for Wandee? Like, dude, your brother sacrificed so much for you and you’re giving this credit to a fake boyfriend ? I mean, whatever, Yoryak was still lovable overall.
As for Wandee… honestly, I don’t have much to say. He was fine? Maybe? But, like, I didn’t really care too much about him. I’ll give credit where it’s due—he’s handsome, no doubt.
Now, the second couple, Oyei and Cher. Honestly, I enjoyed them more than the main leads! They were a vibe. I swear, they were like an old married couple already. Cher was definitely my favorite character—he didn’t have a ton of screen time, but his presence was so strong that I found myself eagerly waiting for his scenes. The facial expressions! And every time they bickered or flirted, it was like watching two people who’ve been together for years. I think they were the main reason I kept watching. And was really happy when they got married at the end!
Plakao,though—I started watching for him, so it’d be bad if I didn’t like him, right? I liked him a lot, but I really think they should have explored his relationship with Title more instead of dragging out unnecessary, boring storylines. He was kind of just there to be a supportive friend for ML.
The asexual character dating storyline? YES. That was so good to see, but I was kind of disappointed that Title only showed up in the last two episodes. Honestly, I’d watch a whole show just about them.
Taem—yeah, she was fine too. I liked her even though her purpose seemed to be just to make the main lead jealous and help him realize his feelings. She was pretty and sweet.
Now, Ter? No. Just no. He rejected Wandee, then went to Dr. Khwan, and when she was still thinking about him, he went back to Wandee? The audacity! Like, what did he think, that she’d just wait around for his stupid ass? I'm so glad Khwan knew her worth and made her mind up on her own, without falling for his back-and-forth nonsense. If the show had made her accept him back, I honestly would’ve given it a 0/10.
Oh, and the grandma? She’s a total icon. I aspire to grow up to be as cool as her!
Overall, this was just another cringy romcom, but it wasn’t terrible to watch. The pacing dragged a bit, so it probably would’ve been fine with just 8 episodes.
Pre-watch rating: 5/10
Final rating: 6.5/10
