Windmill and his wind!!

It started great but I can not say the same about the last few episodes. However it's still worth a try. Enemies to Lovers!! Quite a common trope I know but that's not a problem because if executed right, it's worth it. However, Dangerous romance failed to do that. The amount of plot jumps and time skips it has shown makes it feel almost rushed. Like from when Sailom started tutoring Kanghan to the semester mid term, I really feel there's a significant amount that got skipped and it made it feel almost rushed to the point that it looked like Sailom got along with his (ex)bully Kanghan almost instantly. Also, Pimfah catching and expressing her feelings to Sailom didn't have any impact on me because nothing was really shown. Although, I am glad it didn't drag but it felt so out of place and it just felt like some random plot drive thrown in between to raise the tension between the leads for some few minutes (but apparently it's few weeks in the series). The time jump execution was just bad. So execution wise it failed.

Moreover there was nothing truly dangerous not until the last few episode and even in the last few episode the danger element felt forced but the Thai title of the series is "Heart in the wind". I don't know if that can be considered a redeeming factor but hear me out it's really worth a try. I won't lie the plot sometimes felt so out of place but I still just enjoyed seeing Kang and Sailom. They are cute and in the starting Sailom , he was sassy and relentless. His sassy attitude did tone down in the later half but he stood his grounds and no he wasn't weak. Sure, he had a poor financial background and that was just the starting of his problems but that didn't stop him. He worked hard instead of making excuses. His sassy remarks and his strike backs were so worth it. Contrast to Sailom, Kanghan in the very start was really a jerk. Sure, he had his own story but that still didn't give him the right to bully others. He was downright harsh. I knew what I was getting myself into but still the bullying agitated me so much. After witnessing Sailom being beaten up, he instantly softened up to Sailom. A jerk in the starting became a sweetheart. From hating each other to softening up to each other to liking each other, they both came a long way. Their chemistry is good, sometimes lacking but I think they were adorable.

Talking about the other characters, Sailom's friends are likable. Kanghan's friends are somewhere in the middle. But I did end up liking Nawa a lot at that. His and Guy's storyline is honestly so underrated. I personally think the writers should have explored their story more. Also, Pimfah I like her. Moving further, damn the dialogues used especially in the starting half are so well thought and even the character names. 'Kanghan' means windmill and 'Sailom' means wind. "How can windmill spin if there's no wind?" Damn that is so well thought. Also, there are so many other lines that made me go 'OHHHH!!!'. Like the one where Kanghan says "Do you want to be a hero?" and Sailom's like "Care to be my heroine?". Slow claps!!

This series is not the best but it's worth a try.
