That was novel and cute...

For a change not the typical 08/15 BL we already know, a new concept which was interesting. Jiakai sees the "threads" connecting people, be it enemies, lovers, friends or undefined ones. The only thread he can't see is his own, because he does not have one - which is a bit strange, because he clearly loves his grandma and grandma loves him - so it makes no sense that he has none. But we will overlook this little "phopah" (faux pas) for the sake of the story.

Due to circumstances he meets the police officer Dawei who is hostile to him and accuses him to be a "perverted student". While this is a comedy, it also has it's depths. Both characters approach each other with a certain curiosity and certain distance. Jiakai has a very hard time to deal with Dawei, because he does not believe in any supernatural things at all.

The final episodes are especially heart-warming, but the finale does not feel like a finale because, drum roll: There will be a special episode which will hopefully give us the end the characters and we the viewers do deserve.

So all in all, this was a fun watch, it was interesting and it was not boring. The side character is more or less the comic relief but he is not even close to be annoying as so many thai characters I remember. If you wish for something light, something which will distract you from the shit happening on this world, that's the right series to watch!
