What a surprising delight this show turned out to be!
Based on the trailer, you could have assumed this show was going to be a silly piece of fluff.
Even though Duang, our male lead, was frequently a silly goofball, I was thoroughly surprised by the depth and soul the show incorporated into particular scenes.
I needed a few episodes to grasp Duang's character, and when he showed his serious side, I was truly impressed by Tee Tee's acting skills. He performed exceptionally well during those scenes. Watching Qin's growth from cold/aloof into a happy, smiling in love puppy was so sweet!
So, after reading the book, I was happy we got to see a lot of the important stuff between Duang and Qin.
And even though I loved every episode, it wasn't totally perfect for me.
If it were up to me, I would have omitted the Jamie/Marvis segments.
The scenes felt out of place and undeveloped, merely occupying time. I would have rather had more filler from the main characters. The Jamie/Marvis scenes would make sense if they were building towards a separate series; otherwise, the finale should have provided resolution. My opinion on this stems from my dislike of the novel Jamie; I found him even more irritating in the book.
Apart from that small nitpicky detail, wholly personal to me, don't be offended if our thoughts don't align, which really didn’t detract from my enjoyment, I loved Duang and Qin so much. They were the cutest puppies and if the execs wanted to throw a season 2 at us, I would be sat to watch. In only 12 episodes, the actors did a wonderful job of showing how their relationship blossomed.
To be loved by Duang the way he worships Qin would warm anyone’s heart!
