Light and cute
The leads are really cute have really great chemistry, but I think the show could’ve done a much better job of tying the romance in with the overall plot. I’ve noticed this about other GMMTV dramas, but here it really stood out to me.
We have moments where the leads’ romance is developing and they’re being cute, and then we’ll cut to moments of tension with the antagonists’ plan, but it feels like there’s very little introspection in between. I wish we got more of an internal struggle on Pam’s part; when we get to her breaking point where she says “I can’t keep lying to Dokrak anymore,” I felt like we hadn’t really seen a lot of internal conflict.
The entire arc for Nene as the antagonist feels a bit murky. The premise is absolutely there — someone who has their live destroyed wants to get revenge, but starts connecting with the bartender and the families she’s trying to ruin. But it’s never really clear what her plan actually is; “revenge” is vaguely repeated often but by the time it seems that her plan was just revealing everything, which is neither a grand plan, nor something that Pam really played a role in.
Overall, the chemistry between the leads is there and the acting is great, though I wish the characters could’ve been more developed into their roles. I love the premise and being able to see everyone finding happiness, but I think the drama was more light than I’d anticipated, and the plot could’ve used more thought.
P.S. I love the OST titled "More Than Words." Such a beautiful song.
