Can't Finish
And I will be concluding my watch of Interminable here. I really tried to push through, mostly because I genuinely think the leads have strong chemistry and the premise itself isn’t uninteresting. But the execution drags on for an astronomically long time, and at this point, there’s simply nothing keeping me seated.
Let’s Dive In.
This series does offer a unique story. The lead actors share great chemistry, and the supporting cast includes performers I’ve enjoyed in past projects. Still, I can’t keep pretending I’m having a good time. I struggled to drop this earlier because I kept telling myself, No, it’ll get better. Or, No, Billy looks too beautiful without a shirt to quit now. But the truth is, there is not a single thing happening in this drama that makes me want to continue.
The plot is painfully tedious. More than once, I watched episodes at 2x speed or skimmed scenes just to catch the plot points, and even then, I never felt lost. That alone says a lot. Kaewta looks incredible as the Likay dancer, and yes, Babe with long hair is absolutely the man of my dreams. But Kaewta in the present timeline is dull and perpetually confused. Yai is one-dimensional and equally unengaging. Even with supporting characters played by actors I genuinely like (Heng and Looknam), the overall experience remains… boring.
The romance is slow, which I usually enjoy, but this is too slow. It feels like the story is told in a way that may resonate more with Thai audiences than international viewers, and unfortunately, that disconnect made it harder for me to stay invested.
BillyBabe, I’m still rooting for you. I truly hope there’s a future series of yours that I’ll be able to finish from start to end. Sigh...
Ratings:
Story: 4/10 - so so incredibly boring. Some good moments here and there, but this story is just *bleh*. Thank you Billy for the scenes with your shirt off, it was desperately needed.
Acting: 7/10 - I think Babe does good with switching between both his past and present characters, but I'm not impressed by anyone else.
Music: 5/10 - didn't distract me.
Recommendation Value: 2/10 - If you enjoy period dramas, sure, but just know this moves at a glacier-pace.
