Orchestra of heartstrings

Honestly, it's no surprise that a story that began with a heart transplant would tug at the viewer's so much. I don't think I've ever gotten more teary eyed in any other series I've watched to date but I don't regret a single moment of it. This show was outstanding from beginning to end. Quite frankly, I'm rather speechless to be able to point out any specifics. Suffice it to say, this was beautifully done from the storytelling to the cinematography to the acting and everything in between.

If I really had to nitpick, there were a couple of things I could have done without which is the only reason it's not a 10 rating for me. Some silly little things like how the rangers are always in camo but then when they are out in the sunny daytime hunting down guys in the forest, they are in black so they stand out like a sore thumb... like, that's the whole point of having camo, guys. And the fact that the mom wants Tian to go to the US to get a teaching degree when he'll be coming back to Thailand to teach and they have completely different curriculums. The whole thing doesn't make sense and it just prolongs his future even further. I'm also not a fan of the kids-having-to-live-their-lives-for-their-parents trope though I know that's "a thing." But when Chief is literally telling Tian to live for himself and do whatever his heart wants and yet throwing him back to his parents to fulfill their wishes, that is one heavy oxymoron in a single breath.

But, like I said, this is really pulling at threads here because the show had so much good to it that the bad is easily forgiven/forgotten.
