Thap In losers we‘re going shopping!
This review definitely contains spoilers.
What I loved:
Thap and In are such well written characters and Jimmy and Sea played them so well. I get excitement aggression.
Thap is assertive and stubborn at times. He likes to bicker and tease. Loves a bit of a challenge. All this is partially because of his profession as a Doctor. What I also really liked about him is how he treats other people with grace even when his motives may be a little selfish. How he makes Tul realize how his behaviour puts In into a difficult spot with the motive of ‚In‘s mine‘ in Episode 5. MMh.
In is soft hearted (or ‚fluffly and soft‘ in the words of Thap), but with a shell. He cares deeply about the people he loves. But sees himself as the source of possible pain and suffering because of his ability and how the death of his parents occured.
He wants to see people happy, healthy and safe. And in that aspect Thap and In are the same. They both want that. But while In thinks it‘s fate, even if he tries he can‘t prevent it and thinks it’s better that he suffers instead of others. Thap, as doctor, has the mindset of ‚if I can help you I will do my best so you can *live*‘. Two different points of view about the same wish. But it works so well together.
Their honesty and vulnerability with each other that developed their relationship was marvellous to witness.
Jimmy and Sea played them so well. Idk if there‘s much more that needs to be said. They definitely acted in ways I haven‘t seen them before. Aaaah. 🫠 🤌🤌 Thank you very much for this performance. For them alone it‘s definitely worth watching.
The moment when Thap and In are at the flea market at the bracelet stand as well as the scene in the hospital when In holds back from joining Thaps family can so easily be read as jealousy or him thinking the same as the mother… I love that it was so much more than just that. I sighed in relief.
The side/secondary couple had the right amount of screen time. It was a nice bridge between Thap and In‘s story and the mystery/crime base plotline.
First played the part of the ‚villain‘ very well. Karn always appeared and acted a little sus, so it wasn‘t hard to guess that he has something to do with the incidents. Why he did it is a different question, that I could not answer before it was revealed.
The imperfections:
- Unfortunately every time when they shouted or screamed the audio clipped/sounded distorted. It made me jump every single time and took me out of the moment. Maybe it was a style choice… if so it was the wrong one.
- some things were just a little too unbelievable. Like in Ep. 7 how Thap just took over as doctor in the ambulance. Eh. Or also how quickly the police were there after he got shot. okayy. It’s better not to think about it too much.
- First simply being part of the cast made it very obvious to me (and probably anyone who knows him from other series) that a well established actor like him will probably be the ‚villain‘. Despite that it‘s always fun to see ‚coupled‘ actors in roles independent from said couple. So I gotta mention the appearance of Junior and Book as well :) More of that please.
a few little things that just caught my attention:
- ahahahaa, during the product placements I realized Thailand now also has the bottle caps that stay attached. Made me giggle.
- emotional support blankie! yay (at times it seemed a little too hot to sleep with two blankets though)
- this is probably more an issue on my side: in the end when we get all these so far somewhat background characters (Wan and the father) and their emotional clarity and open communication… it felt a little unreal to me because I am so used to the opposite in media and real life. I hope we can see more communication like this.
(Have to go over this review again to maybe find some better words, sort and edit a little. But for now it is what it is)
