Another Mix & Earth drama

Watch this of course to watch our 2 ML Mix & Earth. Kinda glad to watch this. Heartwarming story with a few flaw....

Really interesting to read the summary given by MDL: "Jim is an ordinary guy running a Hainanese chicken rice diner. One night, he meets breezy Wen when he stays past closing drunk. Brought together by fate that night, intangible feelings arise. Neither can stop thinking about the other despite Jim's efforts to remain unattached." Yeah we can feel their 'lightning' from the start, is all over the place...

But this drama also talk about friendship, family & grief.
* The relationship between Li Ming & Jim. How Jim handle the rebellious teenager Li Ming, while in the same time Li Ming actually also think about his future & how not to put more burden to his uncle Jim again.
* The relationship between Jim & Wen. How Jim manage to finally let go his past & move forward with Wen. And also how Wen finally manage his relationship with his ex-boyfriend. And also about how Jim finally dare & owned his feeling toward Wen.
* The relationship between Heart's family. How he finally make peace with his family with the help of Li Ming
* The heartwarming relationship between Kaipa & his mother. Also how Kaipa manage his feeling with Jim.
* And finally the relationship between Li Ming & his mother....

Now the (+) point that I like about this drama:
+ The chemistry between our lead, Mix & Earth & also Fourth & Gemini. Their chemistry never a miss.
+ The starting point of Li Ming & Heart relationship. Really love how Li Ming can get Heart out of his shell & be friend with him and finally something more.
+ How the writer fix all the family problem in the drama. Like Heart & his family, or Li Ming & his mother.
+ The mature Li Ming. Oh how much I like to see how Li Ming think about his future & making decision about it. What I don’t like, he become rebellious teenager instead talking to his family. I think Jim & his mother actually someone he can have discussion with. But yeah i understand, teenager & their hormones, sometimes think everyone can't understand their feeling.
+ Finally last not but least, Saleng & Praew relationships. How Saleng dare to take the challenge & responsibility for Praew when she's pregnant.

The only thing that I feel lack, not a flaw, just something missing is.... How much I wish Jim make goodbye party for his dinner with his usual customers, instead just one table with his 'family'. I think if they close the curtain with Jim's goodbye party it's gonna be perfect.

Overall this really heartwarming story but with a flaw that I'll gonna write down below. Like usual with SPOILER ALERT. So read review below with ur own risk.












==================================================
--- SPOILER ALERT!!! ---
==================================================

The flaw:
- How Heart become Mute??? I mean yes he's deaf, but he's not deaf since birth. It supposed he became sick & deaf just a few years ago, not since birth or childhood. That's mean Heart supposedly can talk, cause he can hear before... The deaf people become mute if that's happen since birth or baby, cause they can't hear so they can't learn to talk. But if that's happen in ur adulthood u supposed be able to talk. The writer supposed to make Heart DON'T WANT TO TALK instead CAN'T TALK.
- The weird ending.... I don’t know what happened in the last 1 / 2 ep. It happened so damn fast. One min Jim still only say Wen is his friend, although he already open his heart to welcome Wen, but the next min Wen suddenly become his boyfriend. Oh come on... I know that's the set up, but that's also one lazy writing there. This is the why I lower the score a little bit.
- The decision for Jim to open Chicken Rice Foodtruck. Isn't it he just talk to Wen about his dream to actually open Chicken restaurant or not. But instead taking a break to thinking about ur dream & future, he just jump into what familiar for him.
