Deep yet Shallow
Fittingly for a drama called The Water, it was rocky seas, smooth tides, and then back to whitecaps galore, before, finally, the storm passed.How many more water references can I make? Lol.
Okay, to really get into my thoughts: I admired the overall maturity present here, particularly when it came to the business aspect. The hotel empire wasn't simply a backdrop for the FLs' romance. It wasn't just a major source of conflict, but running it took front and center stage, from front desk employees having to maintain a standard appearance and dealing with guests, to having meetings to arrange partnerships and public promotion events.
I found myself invested in Nam and Lada's efforts at work and found their romance to be a needed shake-up for both of them after having to deal with such high pressure/expectations. I loved seeing the normally serious and composed Nam awkward and shy, and the normally high-energy and talkative Lada torn and tongue-tied. They were truly sweet together.
I even found the deception plot to have a lot more depth than I expected.
But . . .
Compared to The Earth (it's impossible not to compare them), which, if I take my rose-colored glasses off, I can acknowledge had its problems, I think The Water failed to deal with its serious/traumatic topics well, let alone achieve a romance so dazzling you'd be blind to it. When the finale came, I found myself feeling a bit bitter about it, to say the least. Yes, everyone was happy, but could/should a pretty bow really be tied on it after everything, and should EVERYONE have been so at peace after such severe manipulation and abuse? I would argue no!
I had many a good giggle and was entertained but not blissfully charmed. That's the best I can put it, I think.

Why The Water Is a Must-Watch Thai GL
The Water may not stick every landing in its finale, but as a complete series, it still stands as one of the most ambitious and emotionally layered productions currently within #ThaiGL. Between the chemistry of #Englot, thoughtful character development, strong production quality, and a story centered around healing, identity, and love, the series consistently aimed higher than most.
