This Drama Is Overhated, Honestly
No, it’s not anything groundbreaking or super original, and yeah, it leans into clichés and familiar conflicts here and there, but that doesn’t make it bad. It’s actually a decent romcom with sweet moments and genuinely likable characters. Not a masterpiece, and I might not remember every detail a few months from now, but I liked it. It’s good enough, tbh.
The story follows Zo, a university student who has a crush on Nita. With some encouragement from his friends, he decides to ask Joke (Nita’s ex) for help getting closer to her. Of course, we as the audience already see what’s going on: Joke is clearly using this as an excuse to get closer to Zo, and it works. The two of them end up getting together, and it’s full of sweet energy that I enjoyed.
There were so many genuinely soft moments throughout, and they made the whole thing feel warm and worth watching.
I also really liked Jeng and Pok as the side couple. Their dynamic had a little more emotional tension. Jeng didn’t want to go public about their relationship, and Pok was dealing with some insecurity. That “Sorry that I’m a man” line? Yeah. That hit.
Pat and Kot, Zo’s friends, were fun and added some lightness to balance things out. Great side characters.
And Nita! She was honestly great, pretty, smart, kind, and just good at everything she did. Totally understandable why Zo admired and liked her so much. I really appreciated that the story let Zo acknowledge his feelings for Nita and have that clarity before he moved on to Joke. That part felt really thoughtful and well done.
Also, I liked the cousin/friendship between Jeng and Joke. A small touch, but it added some warmth and extra layers to their characters.
Not gonna lie, Zo and Joke are both so pretty. I couldn’t stop looking. They were just serving all the time. Especially Zo that hairstyle is his!
Oh, and just a random thought, but I honestly feel like Zo, Joke, and Nita had throuple potential. Not even kidding, the chemistry was there. Not taking anything away from Zo and Joke’s relationship (because that worked well on its own), but that trio had a vibe.
So yeah. It’s not a flawless show, but it’s not trying to be. It’s sweet, it’s fun, and it had more emotional depth than I expected. Overhated for sure.
