It's Not Supposed To Be Funny, But...
My expectations begun in the basement level so there was literally no way for this show to disappoint me without first going to hell. The first episode is so rushed I found myself laughing at nearly everything, even now, just after finishing it, I'm still giggling even though the entire episode is meant to be serious. (Especially when Tai appears at the gallery acting like a two bit villain, I nearly died laughing). The lines so far have been exclusively read, not acted, but I always give episode one all the grace I have to spare (and then some when two episodes are released at the same time because obviously, episode one cant stand on its own) so I'll decide on that next week. I hate, hate, HATE being told over being shown and, to me, a montage is exactly that: telling. Montaging the relationship with a main character is wild because it is instantly unbelievable. I just met this motherfucker twenty minutes ago. KRAM just met him twenty minutes ago. And you want me to believe they have deep feelings? Matter of fact, back up, whyre they kissing?? I wish I could insert a picture of my face for that entire section of the episode because it'd say the million words I have much more succintly.Also the plot??? "If the man who just tried to kill you and has guns (but also chose to use a knife because.....uh, because, i guess) comes back (read: and you survive) I MIGHT have to hire a bodyguard"???? Wild lmao. And then: "hey you just tried to kill me but I just gotta know why, do you per chance have a remote location where we can meet. A warehouse? That's perfect, on my way!" Bro, I was CRYING laughing because they read the lines almost monotone and the lines themselves werenso, so dumb good lord. If I keep both my expectations and standards on the floor, this is a comedy, and I'm loving it.
I could quote so many lines from these two episodes alone, but I'll just do one more and let it be:
Tai: who do i look like?
Kram: tai, son of por
Tai: yes i am he
Kram: but tai has scar on face
Tai: idc i am not he
You cannot tell me this is not a comedy. Or, you could but I have timestamps to prove otherwise. Tbh, i did actually want to see MaxNat in something good because I couldnt get past a few episodes in Cutie Pie or Naughty Babe, but the synopsis for this one killed that dream and now the show itself is beating the dead horse.
I wish I hadnt said no more quotes because Im sobbing this is so funny. One of my housemates came downstairs to check on me and thought I was sad crying but i cant breathe its so funny. I think what really gets me is the utter lack of emotion in literally any line mixed with the plot moving at mach speed but somehow also being empty. I usually wait for 3 - 5 episodes to review but this is such a trip I'll just do it now: I absolutely recommend this. Just dont take it seriously and youll have a blast.
Ill probably updaye this review as I go along since this is one of the few new shows I dont see myself dropping by episode five lol.

Very good
It is very good overall. I love how the music is it makes me feel sleepy haha. I also think that the acting was really good and to be honest Max looked really handsome in some parts of the series. I cried a lot because of feeling connected to the characters in some parts. The thing I don't like though is when there is like a lot of conflict in it which was one of the reasons I cried a lot watching this series but it was so good overall to be honest. I wouldn't rewatch it again but maybe if I was feeling it but overall pretty good.Was this review helpful to you?
Isso... foi uma jornada. Embora esta série seja definitivamente o melhor dos projetos de MaxNat até o momento, ela teve sua cota de problemas (as opções de edição são totalmente desconcertantes). No entanto, gostei de visitar este conto todas as semanas e havia uma espécie de magia na qualidade assíncrona da produção de episódio para episódio. iQIYI, como sempre, tem as piores traduções, o que também prejudica a série, mas com bastante familiaridade com o tailandês e/ou verificando as traduções dos fãs, certamente há poesia no roteiro, de vez em quando.
Deveria ter dado mais ênfase ao casal secundário, tempo teve, mas acredito que esta falha se por conta do roteiro.
Vale pelo menos um tempo, apesar de suas muitas falhas.
