The great casting was ruined by a confusing writing

For those wondering, this serie has a *happy ending* for all three couples.

First of all, don't get me wrong, I like this series. Maybe because the last episode really redeemed the whole story, but also the casting carried the entire series.

Overall impression I had while watching is that this serie is so damn funny without needing to. The cliches they did as something serious just made me laugh out loud. I feel somewhat embarrassed for them. Hahaha

However, most parts of the story is very very confusing. For instance, if you watch, Ai's attitude in ep 7 was soo weird for me. He just got mad without reason. And while watching, I kept shouting "explain, explain the damn reason" but he didn't. All throughout the series, I exclaimed "why". Why did that happen? Why what's wrong with him? Etc. The writing of the story didnt made sense which is kind of sad as there are points in the whole series that they could've focused on and made the series a bit more unique than the rest.

For instance, I liked the startup plot. Though a bit technical, I felt that it was a good kind of plot. I am still laughing at those face mask design and the "stark enterprise" 😂🤣😂🤣

I also liked the dorm division plot. Though the way they did the examination was a bit weird for me.

Now, the casting.
Okay, I know I said that the casting carried the plot, but take this with a grain of salt. They did not act as if they had 10 years experience off their back, but they did acted in love. Though it was ruined horribly by the writing. Urgh. One example is that, they had this fabulous BrightMeen couple with a lot of hidden angst all over the years, and they just shortened their story with an abrupt kissing. Like wth.

The actors are very very handsome. There was one episode, I think it was ep 6, where Songkhram looked a lot like Cha Eun Woo. My gosh. Ai also looked like a love child of My tooth your love. And Meen, my meen is soo damn cute. He looks like Saint's little brother.

Lastly, what I mean when the last episode redeemed the whole series is because this series has one of the best realistic portrayals of love making and it is at episode 10 folks. My gosh they had a full blown 10 minutes. I think. I was lost in awe. This NC scenes is now written to my top 10, together with Love in the Air, Ghost house Ghost host, The warp effect and others.


In conclusion, there is something to love in this series but it was ruined by the horrible writing. Though don't let it stop you from watching this. It may not be a masterpiece, but it will be a tad bit memorable. I hope hope hope that the give the SongkhranAi and BrightMeen casts a better story to act in. Such a waste of explosive compatibility.
