It was like the writers wanted to make us see that they were really in love and not actually being forced into marriage, even though that's the whole point of an arranged marriage plotline. The arranged marriage aspect felt very forced, because there didn't seem to be an actual reason for Lian and Kuea to be arranged to be married.
For starters, a lot of the storyline and plot felt very, very nonsensical. The last positive was Foei, who was a side character that stole the scene every time he showed up I enjoyed the comedy he brought immensely.Īnd now, the negatives. And honestly, Syn and Nuer's little side relationship was the best-executed plotline in the whole show. I also really enjoyed all of Kuea's school friends- they were hilarious and so much fun to watch on screen. I loved pretty much all of the friendships, as well! Kuea and Kon-Diao were great best friends, and actually supported each other equally in a way I feel I hardly ever see in fiction. Not mind-blowing by any means, but enough for me to buy that they were actually attracted to each other. I liked the actors (for the most part- to be honest, New's crying scenes felt inauthentic at times), and the chemistry between the couples was pretty good. The production value was great, the acting was overall pretty good, but the story? The relationships? A big, hot mess that never truly got solved by the end. Unfortunately, it just couldn't deliver.Ī Waste of Time Honestly, this show was a huge letdown for me all around. A stellar cast, a good budget, and an established fanbase. The saddest thing is, this had the potential to be so good. Hot kissing scenes are always fun to watch, but it's not going to save a drama with a boring messy plot or boring stagnant characters. The show should have focused less on being preachy and more on actually writing a plot with substance. There was little to no character development for both of them, in the end, they both found out each other's secrets, did nothing to resolve the miscommunication, and continued on in their lives like nothing was wrong, but NOTHING CHANGED! There are so many things that I felt went unaddressed. In fact, this show had some of the most stagnant characters I have ever seen. I get that the whole point of this drama was to watch them grow and learn to communicate, but I still feel like they haven't. I felt like I had no idea what was happening half the time. Not to mention, the pacing was so hard to follow. The same plot was dragged and spun for the entire twelve episodes and the characters just kept lying and deceiving each other.
The story was a complete mess! And honestly, calling it a storyline, is a bit of a stretch. I will be honest and say I don't know much about Thai music, but this drama introduced me to so many great songs that I have been listening to on repeat. They are just the cutest lil beans I have ever seen in my life, and if I had to watch an entire drama of them just staring into each other eyes, I would!!!!įinally, the music. There were a couple of scenes where I felt like he could have delivered more, but overall them and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job acting-wise.Īnother thing that actually led me to finish this instead of dropping it, is the side couple. For a first-time actor, he did a great job. His acting did not disappoint, and I was pleasantly surprised by NuNew. I have been following him since Why R U? and he is literally why I was looking forward to this drama. This was one of my most anticipated BLs of this year, and I am so disappointed. A Hot Mess! Gosh, I don't even know where to start.
