It's not like I've never seen this kind of story before. It's full of clichés and drama-worthy turns of events. So, if you're fed up with those things, popular male leads, innocent and pure female leads and annoying second leads, then don't bother watching. But I for myself just ~craved exactly these tropes. Oh, and Push.

So, what can I say about this drama? Even though Push and the plot were my driving forces, right from the start the one who stole the spotlight was the female lead. It's not easy to enter a new turf (Thai drama) with unknown actors, unknown language and unknown humor. But Gypso (let's cut her name a little here) did everything right from the first moment on and therefore convinced me right away. Even though I can't yet compare her with other Thai actors, I dare say that she's got a unique way of acting. She's charming, her humor is brilliant and she masters this thin line between silly and serious perfectly. And she has this beautiful, beautiful smile.

Don't chop off my head, dear Push-fans. Yes, he only got second place. I'm not saying he was bad, he was great and did everything right as well, was charming, mesmerizing and everything you can think of. He just lost to his female counterpart. But, and that's even more important, Push and Gypso worked damn well together. There was harmony and sparkle and balance. Without these things I wouldn't have been able to root for them. But I did, ohh, how I did, indeed. Who wouldn't?

One might get restless, because it took a while until that dissimilar couple got along alright. It's what I actually liked so much, because during that time all the small things made Win (Push) and WanNeung (Gypso) slowly growing closer. And with that it also made my affection for them growing as well.

As for the second leads. Yes, they were annoying in the beginning and even more in the middle. Most of all because of their possessive behavior over their friend/ex-lover and their "I know what's best for him/her"-way of thinking. In the end though - and I didn't think my opinion about them would change like that - I saw actual character development. The way the female second lead, May, realized that she was living in the past and still didn't see the fault in her actions. Her counterpart, the male second lead, MeeDee, was a weaker character but in the end the key she needed.

And not only them, of course also the leads experienced that noticeable change. The leads did mistakes as well, especially Win. Trying to solve a bigger problem with good intentions, but then hurting other people along the way. WanNeung made her own mistakes, yes she was naive sometimes, but I couldn't really be angry with her. She's young and wanted to achieve her dream, and I would never say that she acted dumb in her situations. The only thing I could hold her up to would be that she was a bit slow in reading her surroundings. So, all known tropes aside, this drama had many moments that went deeper than I'd expected.

When I think about the skinship in this drama, I get all the feels. It's everything for me. Some touching, hugging, caressing, all of those things here and there while the couple is not yet a couple, but their little gestures already show how much they care for each other.

And let me say something about the kisses. Yes, they got frozen ones as well. But funny thing, these ones still look more passionate than Korean paralyzed pecks, because there is still some small but notable movement AND they actually press their lips onto each other instead of just innocently brushing that sensible skin.

I also have to mention what a large group of gay people there was. It was like one big gathering where everyone could have had feelings for everyone, no matter the gender. Some could argue about whether it was too much or just right. I for myself enjoyed it because it was refreshing and opened up new constellations. The whole "innocent girl lives together with a gay male"- thing got new turns thanks to that. And can I say how much I loved WanNeung's gay best friend? For real. I mean, yes, it's not unusual to put the female lead together with such a friend. But you can also overdo it and make it look silly. LukPit though felt real and pure and authentic, that I really wish I would have a friend like that.

The only person that didn't fit in was the character named "Guy". Seriously, where did they got him? He had zero acting skill and only one or two facial expressions which never expressed anything at all. I've never seen such a fail in casting. It's the first time I would indeed think that some very rich connection got the dude that role.

This was my 3rd Thai drama. I shied away from them in the past because of certain violent acts that Lakorns are famous for. But I got lucky with this, like I was with Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match just before, which put me on the Push-train... Damn, that boy got a body and they certainly know how to shape it even more in their dramas. He makes me feel ashamed for drooling over him.

With that said, happy watching!
