Miscommunication ≠ Plot

Let's break this down before we even discuss just how badly the series itself broke down.

Misunderstandings do not equal plot.
If you're still basing your 10 episodes on your leads not being able to have a mature conversation, you need to do better.

Just off the premise alone - meeting your ex while you raise your niece and they are raising their kid is such a rich vein for storytelling. Especially when you have unresolved feelings and you want to get back together because not only are you exes, there are now two children involved in your life, depending on you, and your decision must have them involved in some capacity. I'm not going to do a deep dive into just how complex and well written a story about navigating dating your ex when you're both caring for children can be. Why should I when they didn't?

In the finale of the series, there's a massive montage of scenes that show us how the relationship between the leads would have gone down if they could talk like actual human beings. It was over in maybe 10 minutes (I think, I watched it sped up), and to think that the series itself could have been over in 10 minutes was a huge slap to the face. Because I sat through ten episodes of the most bland, boring and irritating pairing who couldn't set aside their stupid pre-conceived notions or their ego to have a proper conversation.

Both of them were horrible people. There's not a single redeeming quality about either of the leads because you don't even have time to get to know them or understand their thought process. They're so involved in making their lives harder for themselves, and we should care why? It took two children, actual children, to get them together in a civil manner. Children! That should tell you enough.

Through all this, the one bright spot (as far as romance went, because the leads had as much chemistry as a piece of wet cardboard), were the second couple. They had chemistry, they had banter, and though it wasn't much, they actually spoke to each other. Much more than the leads did anyway. But of course, the writers had to go and do that. Did the contract of one of them run out? Is that why the writers just had to do that? I can't say it out loud, and because it's a massive spoiler, I won't say it out loud but I am still furious about that writing choice.

Everything just closed in on itself the more the story went on. Again, this could have been a 10 minute episode. Just one, 10 minute episode. Instead we got 10 HOURS.

Don't watch it. Yes the kids were absolutely adorable and carried the show, and the grandparents were so iconic, but don't watch this mess.

The truth is, this is actually a poor show

For some reason they made this 31 episodes at just over 40 minutes each and because of all the procrastinating and messing about they could’ve easily made it a 24 episode half an hour show each and it would’ve lost absolutely nothing.
I’m a bit annoyed at this show. For some reason the writers and director must think it’s really cute, charming and endearing to have the females all behave so insufferably that basically tortures all the men in this show.
It really isn’t entertaining watching these cold, aloof women push there men away constantly and watching the men begging at their feet for a crumb of affection.
As a sidenote, the 2ML was way too old and his head was too big.

Overall, an enjoyable watch (with potentially a some tears)

There’s a lot I want to say about this, starting from the fact that it felt like somebody took all the clichés in romantasy enemies to lovers books and made a story, HOWEVER, I still ate this up, regardless of how predictable every single step was (figuring out who bai xi is from the 1st episode was.. anticlimactic), the way everything was put together was nice. As every historical chinese drama, the ending felt rushed sadly, it took us so long to get there, but then in 5min everything wraps up, that’s frustrating.

The actors did a really good job honestly, I was sad when they were sad, and happy when they were happy.

The music is amazing, I enjoyed it so much and they worked really well with the entire drama.

I think my least favorite thing about this entire drama is the accessories, fiction aside, why are the main actors always so loaded with so many accessories, it felt like bombardement at some point honestly.

Either ways, overall I really enjoyed this, it was certainly worth the time I spent on it.

PS: I was not sad over Jin Lei’s death cause bro is the most impulsive brat I’ve ever seen (literally with his ‘job’ he is comparable to if a doctor went into a surgery being like ‘oh let me open this person up and decide then what to do’

very well done production leaving the standard storyarcs of BL...

We all know the tropé of love as a teenager which will come to fruition may years later on. But in this series, they have done it in a mature dramafree way. The story progresses naturally and you may need to watch it twice to get all of it, but this was a very needed change of pace to normal series. I would consider this more a gay story than a BL, it feels more real then most.

The acting and chemistry was great, you can always feel some tension between them and even it feels like a slow pacing show, it's quite fast considering 3 episodes around 8 minutes and the finale with around 14 minutes. Production quality was also much better than any shows before even when I doubt they had a big budget. They just made the most of it. Yes there are some lapses with unlit monitors and cuts/countercuts not fitting exactly, but it does not take away from the storytelling.

So for me this is a little marvel outside of the normal bounds a "BL" has. It's a slowly, meticulously told story without any drama at all, it's mellow and relaxing and everything makes sense and they do not have a kiss just to cater to the fanbase. I recommand to watch this!

Revenge with many plotwists

Its what you expect from the description of the show, it gives exactly that.
I had a bit of a slow start with the show and ended up taking a break inbetween since the cat and mouse chase between the characters got a bit annoying and frustrating more than interesting but once some time passed and I continued watching, it was actually really compelling.

Around episode 7 or 8 is when things really start going atleast for me— it got super interesting and made me wanna binge watch it in one go. Although I can’t say i’m impressed by the show, I’ve definitely seen better revenge plot dramas but this was highly entertaining when you give it a chance despite some boring or repetitive moments.

kisskh Review

MANDATE The Series is a rare Thai drama that uses BL not as its core attraction, but as a lens to examine politics and power.

Non, a dedicated rural doctor in his late 30s, has no interest in politics. His life revolves around saving patients in an understaffed medical system—until a tragic accident involving his sister forces him to confront the limits of medicine alone.
Motivated by a desire to protect rural healthcare workers, he steps into politics with the support of Ui, a sharp political strategist and the son of a party leader.

The first half resembles My Fair Lady: Ui refines Non’s blunt idealism and turns him into a viable local candidate.
As the story progresses, the tone darkens. Non is forced to accept political compromises, balancing party interests, regional benefits, and corporate pressures. The drama portrays these struggles with surprising realism.

By the final arc, Non chooses to remain in politics despite personal loss and responsibility for failure, while Ui moves to a rival party—an ending that rejects idealism in favor of harsh political truth.

This is not a romantic BL in the conventional sense.
It is a serious political drama that questions whether “clean politics” is ever truly possible.

Entertaining Hilarious with Few Flaws

Chen Xiaoqian is a screenwriter stumbling a block when the future lead actor for her story, Mr Han criticizes her work saying it unrealistic and forced her to rewrite it. She pushed through the night and made changes to her story while having a cold, and fell asleep after her wrote the final touch. Opening her eyes next, she could not believe that she had woken up in her own story as a supporting character, the unruly and reckless Third Princess Chen Qianqian who would die on episode 3 of the script she wrote after being poisoned by the groom she stole, Crown Prince of neighbouring city Xuanhu, Han Shou. When she managed to avoid being killed cuz she basically know everything about the plot, she realized the key to her escaping the story is to stay alive til the end of the plot, falling in love with Han Shou in the process.

Looks like typical transmigration plot, and it is quite cliche, but i must say the show managed to keep my attention with the amazing performance of its actors. I usually hate whiny characters like Chen Qianqian, but somehow the way Zhao Lusi executed her role isnt cringy at all. And i think this is the second co star of Ding Yuxi that I saw didnt make me cringe and hate them. The first being Victoria Song from Fight for Love.

The plot is okay although rather typical, only the last 2 episodes made me roll my eyes when the heroine-turned-villain usurped the minister of war position and somehow able to rule the city. Like whaaat? 🫩🙄

I liked the plot twists, loved how much chemistry the mainleads had, and loved how smooth the story was. Action was so-so since this is a romance-centric show after all. The songs were catchy, though i wont be adding them to my playlist. Overal, it’s an okay show and i didnt regret the time spent.

A demonstration how a series demolishes itself.

Too bad I woke up with a bad headache today and I could not watch anything. 12 hours later I'm fine enough to watch the conclusion of this pile of crap. This series is completely unbelievable. First of all the main couple was quite boring, their brake-up was extremely stupid and the series did nothing which was in the least interesting for them. And then they had a second couple - the only thing interesting in this show - and they killed it off. This was the ONLY thing keeping me on this show. I gave a rat's ass about the so called main couple - you can play it at 2x speed an you won't miss a thing. The second couple was the star of the show, the believable one, the guys who can act well. And then Mr. "President" died and they introduced a new "boss" but he had no impact at all. There was speculation it was all a fake death to reveal a conspiracy of the new boss but no - the scriptwriters had no imagination at all.

And the main couple - they got on my nerves so much especially when they talk about the past. Mr. good guy was "Oh, it was a misunderstanding? I'm glad we could clear that up." - WTF man? 10 years wasted because your lover did not trust you? I would have exploded, cursed him out for at least an hour - but I would never have chased him in the first place.

So my verdict is, this show is a waste of time. The second couple should have the show for themselves and the main couple should have gone in the trashcan where the script for them belongs too. I have no clue what you need to smoke or take to come up with such an outrageous storyline. And as I can see in some reviews, people are digging this bullshit. I can't understand that. If your lover does not trust you and does not talk to you, he is a waste of your time and not worth your effort. The quite high rating is only because of the second couple, even when the two children did lighten the mood a bit.

Crash Landing On You

I JUST FOUND OUT THESE ACTORS ARE MARRIED IN REAL LIFE. THAT IS ONE OF MY SAVING GRACES, THE FACT THAT THIS DRAMA AND THE SHOOTING OF IT AFFECTED THE LEADS SO MUCH THAT THEY DEVELOPED REAL FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER. I SAW THEM AT THE AWARDS AND THEM BOTH WINNING ACTOR OF THE YEAR OF SOMETHING, THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER. UGHHH, IM SO HAPPY THEY GOT THEIR PERFECTLY HAPPY ENDING IN REAL LIFE. Now, on to the review.

I don’t know why, but all the k-dramas that I’ve watched have been so much harder to get through than c-dramas. I think it’s because of the long episode length that I can’t stay focused for that long at a time. I like to space out my watching to 1 episode at a time, but with these hour long episodes, it feels like it is dragging on and on. Bro, when I saw the last episdoe was 2 hours long, I did not know how I was going to sit through that.

That being said, this is my 2nd favorite k-drama ever watched, under twenty five twenty one. Twenty five twenty one just left such a mark on me with its themes about nostalgia. But, these kdrama was more romance based and heavy with crime, revenge, sacrifice, and guilt. The emotions were so deep in this kdrama. I have to say, the first half of the drama was pretty hard to get through for me, but episodes 13-16 just flew by. I couldn’t stop watching at the end because the episodes would be left on such good cliffhangers. The ending of kdramas though are so much less anti-climactic than cdramas. I get that the only reasonable way for this drama to end was Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok living separately due to their different backgrounds and the fact that they both have family in their respective countries. However, it just didn’t feel like closing to me in a sense. I wanted a better ending in terms of resolutions.

Se-ri is such a powerful woman. From the very start, she didn’t take any disrespect from anyone and even when going through something unimaginable, she still has self respect. I HATED most of her family though. How are you going to wish for your sister to die just so you can take over a company? Se-ri is the most genuine one of them all and only the mom was trying to fight for her. Whether this was out of guilt or love, she still tried to be hopeful for Se-ri.

This was a very like lowkey enemies to lovers trope with the 2 of them, as they literally HATED each other. I thought the North and South Korea dynamic was also super interesting as there is such a big contrast.

Ri Jeong-hyeok is like your classic cold male that later opens up. I loved how he was so protective in the beginning even when he supposedly hated her. The candle he went and bought along with all the shampoo and conditioner was really sweet. The scene where they jumped off a cliff together was so funny. Ri Jeong-hyeok didn’t even have a harness but he was just hugging Se-ri. By episode 4 bro, he’s already done for. Ri Jeong-hyeok is in love with Se-ri whether he admits it or not. Awww…him buying her a scented candle to help find her in the market and take her away from her childhood trauma. He’s very observant and always remembers everything that Se-ri tells him. He’s such a gentle, kind person that only shows that side of him for her.

I also lowk feel for the dad that has a 10 year old son and is simply working for the state to make money. He had emotional connections with Ri Jeong-hyeok’s late brother and he seems like a genuine person that is just forced to do wrong things.

I always love tropes with some found family aspect and the fellow soldiers and comrades have such a good dynamic with Se-ri. It’s like a brother sister dynamic where you’re protective but can also fool around and have fun.

Even when Ri Jeong-hyeok’s real fiancée came to their town, he wasn’t afraid to show his care for Se-ri. He even let her stay at his house for the night in front of his fiancée.😭 But, you can tell at that moment that Se-ri was devastated. Her bubble popped because she realized that she likes him a lot more than she thought and he’s “taken”. They even watched the first snow together. If that’s not the hint that they’re gonna end up together, idk what is. So, this better be a happy ending.

He literally took a bullet for her in the back and we’re only halfway through the show. It’s not that he didn’t want to see her off, but he needed to prioritize protecting her instead. “I made a promise to her that any time she’s in my sight, I will always protect her.” And he has lived up to that promise since.

Through watching all of the extra clips that we get at the end of each episode, you can see that Ri Jeong-hyeok and Yoon Se-ri have actually met before by coincidence. When she was at the lowest point of her life in Switzerland, he happened to be traveling too. She was about to jump off of a bridge when Ri Jeong-hyeok saw her for the first time and started secretly taking pics of her. Then, he made up an excuse for her to help him take pictures so that she wouldn’t get the chance to jump off the bridge. So, Ri Jeong-hyeok has been saving Se-ri’s life since then. Not only that, but when she was at Switzerland, the piano melody that she heard that helped her with all of her struggles was actually played by Ri Jeong-hyeok while he was going through the hardest time of his life as well, just having lost his brother.

Even when Se-ri told Ri Jeong-hyeok that she was marrying someone else and leaving him, he still comforted her. He risked his life and his job so many times to try to get her back to South Korea. When Se-ri had to lie and say it wouldn’t ever work out and she jsut wants to go home, she started crying. Ri Jeong-hyeok hates to see her cry so he said that he understands and it’s ok, so she doesn’t have to cry anymore. If that’s not selflessness and love, then idk what is.

OMG…the full circle moment with the piano music and the song that Ri Jeong-hyeok wrote for his late brother. He also never played piano after that until he met Se-ri. He decided to play that song for her to remind her of their actual first meeting. This is literally so fateful. As a pianist myself, this song is so beautiful too.

When they were separating from each other yet again, Ri Jeong-hyeok said a line that shows jsut how mature he is. “You can date men and hang out with other people as if nothing had happened. Just don’t be lonely again. Don’t ever think about disappearing at a scenic place. You have me. I won’t be by your side, but I will always hope that you won’t be lonely. Be happy until the end of your life.” THE HECK!!! Stop this poetry bro. This shows how he truly wants the best for Se-Ri even if it means giving her up again. But the way he was still delaying seeing her go and pretending that he forgot the way.

QUEEN QUEEN QUEEN. AURA AURA AURA. When she first returned to South Korea in that white suit and making that speech in front of her memorial, that was literally boss behavior. I love how she is such a confident woman and not deterred by anything or anyone. I love the found family that was created in this drama too though. When she saw her fellow comrades in South Korea, the hug she gave them, and how much they all missed each other was beautiful. Not only that, but her birthday scene where they all showed up with gifts even though she thought that they all left. How could they ever leave her on her birthday? She just realized then how much she needed all of them.

The end of episode 13 was so thrilling to watch. The whole gang coming and and helping Ri Jeong-hyeok fight everyone. Se-ri coming at the end and saving him through driving her car directly in the path of the gunshot wound. And Ri-Jeong-hyeok shooting someone for the first time in this drama for Se-ri because he supposedly shot at her, i dont really know. I loved the dad and the courage he gained. BUT WHY DIDN’T HE KILL THAT DUDE? HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE BRO!? Why was Ri Jeong-hyeok just cradling her in his arms? Call an ambulance bro or block the wound from bleeding out. She can’t be dead yet. The couples ring on both their hands too as well as the replay of memories between the 2 of them. “I still have more to say. This can’t be the end. There’s something I haven’t told you. I love you. I love you, Se-ri.” OMG, until this episode, I hadn’t relaized that Se-ri said I love you to him but he hadn’t said it back yet. Aww…and the whole gang swearing to protect Se-ri with their lives but at the end of it, they all ran out and saw her bleeding out in Ri Jeong Hyeok’s arms. How shocked and in disbelief they all were.

AWWWW. The way that Se-ri woke up and calling Ri Jeong-hyeok telling him that she missed him and she wants him to come back to her room and see her. I loved the deep emotion that they were both feeling. Not only that, but both of them crying and their teary eyes. Ri Jeong-hyeok literally sprinting to go see Se-ri. And obviously, him blaming himself a little bit for putting her in that dnagerous situation. But, what he doesnt understand is that she would die for him just as he would for her.

Episode 15 and the North Koreans are stuck in investigation bro. The way that Ri Jeong-hyeok is still trying to save Se-ri and take the blame all by himself, but he does not realize how much Se-ri would give up for him too. She already got shot for him, so taking a testimony of the truth is nothing. I just know it hurt him so much to say those hurtful things to her face to face, saying some bullcrap about him “using her” the entire time. Not only that, but the way that Se-ri was so unwell but still travelled all that way for a face-to-face. And she literally collapsed after from blood poisoning. Once Ri Jeong-hyeok heard that, he ran and saw her being carried away for medical help. The grief and guilt on his face just increased ten-fold after seeing that as well. The second time when she was placed under critical condition was even more moving. He sprinted and watched her through the ICU unit to see her and make sure she was ok.

I also loved the end of episode 15 for the second lead couple. Gu Seung-jun and Seo Dan are lowk cute together and they met by chance but fell for eachother instantly. He came in that barn and shot everyone up with that fun. Not only that, but he literally gave up his plane ticket home and his safety. He got shot twice saving her when he is not trained in any sort of conflict. “I was wrong. When I die, there is someone that is crying for me. The fact that you are that person makes me sad and happy.” HE BETTER NOT DIE BRO. ALL OF THAT JUST TO DIE AT THE END. PLEASE. BOTH OF THEM SURVIVE. Se-ri and Gu Seung-jun don’t give up. (after I finished this drama, spolier: the main character obv lives, SO WHY DOES GU SEUNG-JUN DIE!!! UGHHHHH)

The parallels when Se-ri was almost dead. She would choose to relive everything 100 times over even if it is dangerous because it would allow her to meet Ri Jeong-hyeok again. But, Ri Jeong-hyeok said that if he had a choice to turn back him, he wouldn’t meet her. He doesn’t want her to put herself in danger for him ever again. So, he would never meet her in the first place. Se-ri and Ri Jeong-hyeok are literally meant for each other, trying to do anything for the other no matter what. The dramatics at the end of episode 15 got me, I have to say. The acting is insane. The facial expressions. The music. UGH.

Episode 16: I love the mom. Making sure that Se-ri and Ri Jeong-hyeok and everyone get to meet one last time. She knew that for both of their sanity, they needed it. Oh my goodness. Him recrossing the demaracation line to be with her and make sure that she is ok after trying to run after nearly dying. The hug. Everyone with their guns out. That moment was beautiful even if it wasn’t supposed to be played out like that. The concern in his eyes. The last “I love yous.” They both knew it was probably the end of their dream. Aww..her found family is ripped from her just like that. Ri Jeong-hyeok’s dads AURA holy. The other guy was shivering in his pants and his dad executed and killed him just like that. Holy. The comrades were shocked and amazed and glad all at the same time. AWWW…Ri Jeong-hyeok did the bookshelf thing too. Aw, Se-ri made products for the village ladies that she met when she was in South Korea. She’s such a genorous and compassionate person, knowing that they don’t get recognition or luxury products often. “She wasn’t here for very long, but she never forgot about us.” I truly think being in north korea shaped Se-ri as a person and made her a better one. It showed her different perspectives of the world. I feel so bad for Seo Dan, she lost her true love in this life and decided to face what she truly wants, which isnt Jeong-hyeok. “They love each other more than their lives and I can’t do anything about it.” The 2 moms talking about their own children, having loves that are unattainable for different reasons but still holding on to that love. The whole theme of this drama is you have to love, no matter what. Despite any challenge thrown at you, it is always worth it to just love. He literally spent the time to send Se-ri a whole year of reserved messages ahead of time, so she would have a message from him every single day. He’s actually so thoughtful. YES! Ri Jeong-hyeok gets his dream back of playing piano. Hopefully, this means he can meet Se-ri more often. And then they met in Switzerland, full circle, down to the detail of Se-ri being on a paragliding adventure and crashing.

Childhood friends to lovers to ennemies

When I impulsively decided to watch this "little" drama, I didn't bother to read the drama description as I usually do, so I didn't really know what to expect, other than a simple, historical bl drama with no censorship (what a step forward in the China industry !

This drama can be divided into two parts in terms of the story, but also in terms of the atmosphere and the viewer's feelings.
I had a great time during the first eight episodes, but the last few were really painful to watch. Whether it was the scriptwriting choices or the portrayal of the characters and their mentality.


📜 Overall, the story is very interesting and well put together (without the subtitle problem, I suppose). Between plots, betrayals, family, friendship, love, tenderness, lies, violence, hatred, misunderstanding, PLOT TWIST... we get a bit of everything! Even though the series is quite "short" (12x30 min), I found it quite "long"; the story is really captivating and poignant, and we know from the beginning that the characters are going to suffer (and so are we, for that matter).

✨️🎋 The aesthetics are pretty, the costumes are okay, the wigs... well... we've seen worse (and better), but I love Shu He's style! The OST is really nice... I think the actors are good (it's hard to judge 100% objectively).

🎎 The characters are honestly endearing at first, but very, very difficult to follow psychologically, especially in the "second" part of the drama. And that's what I think disturbed and affected me the most.

Ziang is very emotional, lovable , his devotion. and love for Shue He is so overwhelming that it hurts even through the screen.

On the other hand, I had a lot of trouble with Shu He, who (I don't know if it's because of the character himself or the actor) only shows one or two emotions: he's impenetrable, which makes it very hard to trust him (and I admit that in the end I didn't understand anything he was doing).

Unfortunately, the secondary characters are VERY secondary, between Hao Ying, who is trapped in a toxic relationship, and Shen Song, who is... just there to help everyone without anything in return (frankly, he deserves better).

In reality, my feelings are very much focused on the trope of the series which is typically a lovers-to-enemies. I've always dreamed of trying this kind of trope, but deliberately. But here, I was confronted with it without knowing it. Which is a huge shock, especially with such a sweet, tender, cute, perfect first part of the love story.

The first eight episodes are really good, the atmosphere is pleasant, the romance is so touching, a real 🍬 ! But the twist is very violent. The characters change radically. And it hurts.
Zi'ang's change (a devoted and protective brother and lover, ready to abandon his country for his beloved) is the worst: he loses all his color and literally becomes a tyrant and an obsessive "lover." The way he treated Shuhe was just as disconcerting. This is where I can only confirm my fear of toxic and obsessive romances.

Shuhe is in a way partly to "blame" (even if it's half-way understandable) : his indecision, his blindness, his relentless obstinacy for a kingdom rotten from within played heavily against him.

From the "twist" (the transition from lovers to enemies), we witness a succession of rejections, "betrayals," lies, and plots with a huge lack of communication, which gradually stifles the romance until it reaches a point of no return that makes us want to tear our hair out.

And then comes the worst part for me: the impossibility of trusting the characters. So much so that we no longer know if the scenes unfolding before our eyes are "sincere" or just another plot. It was torture. This drama is a real tragedy; the further we get, the more we know that it can only end badly.

Part 1: 9/10
Part 2: 6/10:
Overall: 7/10

Lovable, Funny, and Enjoyable series.

Out of all PondPhuwin series I watched, I would definitely say this is the most rewatchable one. Its a light, funny, and easily digestible series with overall fun characters. Khun Thee was the highlight of the series for me, anything he said really put a smile on my face. He was so set on Peach right at the start and was such a sucker for him. Which I loved lol. Peaches character was totally different than Khun Thee. He was just a regular introverted guy and very down to earth. The magic happens when both dynamics are put together and... damn. I didn't know i would like TheePeach so much. I've never been that big of a fan when it came to PondPhuwin chemistry, but for this series and its characters it worked out.

WilliamEst and PerthSanta also are apart of this series and if anyone knows, these two couples always serve. Even though I have some problems with how one of the plots are implemented.

First of all, WilliamEst was a treat for me in this series.
- Est's character, Mok, is Khun Thee's bodyguard, so he's prevalent in many parts of the TheePeach story.
- Williams character, Rome, is khun Thees little brother who came to visit and has a massive crush/obession over the bodyguard.

They were cute and playful (mostly Rome) when it came to their scenes, so i liked what they gave us for them. Kinda sad they didnt show us more of them lmao.

Now for PerthSanta..... They are really the only problem i have with this series story wise. Don't get me wrong, PerthSanta is literally my favorite couple under GMMTV, but you cannot sit there and tell me they weren't used for face for this series.
-Santa's character, Aran , is a model ambassador for Khun Thee's perfume company and the main reason why Peach and Thee met in the earlier episodes.
- Perth's character, Tawan, is a popular actor and is in a talking stage with Aran.

I love Perth when he plays red flags, but the way the story executed TawanAran and how they CHANGED their story makes no sense. All there scenes include no character development of Tawan, until the very last scene when he magically changes and manipulates Aran to take him back because he lost everything..... And Aran forgave him???????? It just pissed me off. I have no idea why GMMTV are so scared to let these actors act anything but happy endings. If they stuck to the original ending for them it would make it 10x better than what they did. The only thing that saved TawanAran was Perth and Santa's acting, which is always top notch. I didn't expect much of them because they are only supporting roles, but you cant just throw in popular faces with a dumb lazy sub-plot and expect people to not notice or get annoyed lmao. Guess I have to wait for "Love You, Teacher" for some good PerthSanta plot.

Its best point was about death and how they approached it.

If I were to give the story's approach to death a score I'd give it a 10. As someone that has gone through a difficult loss a year ago, this drama was very comforting and touching.
The romance part was quite good until the last 3 episodes were it went a bit downhill and dragged in a weird way as if the sceenwriter didnt know how to conclude some parts of the story.

The acting was great, the music could've been better.

In general, I liked how flawed most of the main characters were. To me that's realistic. Bc most people have a lot of disappointing traits that come from our own traumatic life-experiences. So not all dramas need to have the overly cliche toxic characters or the overly cliche "doing everything correctly" protagonists.

However it did feel like the characters weren't developed as deeply as they deserved considering they were people with extremely traumatic pasts and the material for a deeper dive into why they were that way was right THERE. |
