This show is set in fashion industry, making it the more funny as it's full or really bad clothes, lol. The main girl is a rising fashion designer and the main guy is a male model, who hates modeling and only does it for money (Na Naphat really fits the role though, he does look like a model) who both share "special ability" that they can hear the other's voice/inner voice whenever it rains. The girl takes it as her "inspiration", the guy plain hates it. There is also Cherreen Nachjaree, in a role of some kind of the main guy's "manager", though she looks too young for it... But I checked her age and found out that despite her somehow looking way younger than both the main leads, there isn't an actual age gap. In case of Kan Kantathavorn though, there really is a NINE years difference.
This could be classified as Female Chases Male First, as she sees the guy as her soulmate and the one who's always been there for her, while he takes measures to block her and to be alone in his own head. The two start working together, because she considers him her "muse", of course. First thing she does she makes a jacket for him, which is overly long and the lining fabric makes it too hot to wear in Thailand. She wants to help his career which is dubious as her own career is only starting, but at least when in unpleasant situation, he discovers that listening to HER only, helps him concentrate and block the outside. Lucky it's always raining when needed, lol.
First, the two get off on the wrong foot. She makes him wear a suit that looks like it has carpet pattern printed all over it, then scolds him for not being enthusiastic enough while wearing it:) It could be a touching scene, where she points out how her whole team did many hours of researching and making the suit and how she carefully thought of his personality while designing it, had it not looked so ridiculous and had Na Naphat not looked like a clown in it. Which takes me back to the 1st sentence of this review, but never mind, lol. This should be a romance drama...
How is the romance? Apart from the fantasy element between the two people, after 4 episodes we get them at stage where they grab one another and stare, look like they'd kiss but don't. Well, it's better than silly-screaming-and-fighting, dealing with some stupid conflict or semi-criminal plots most lakorns use... We really give the focus to the characters and their conversations and interactions. Okay perhaps I shouldn't write this LOL. Gee, I really should have known better.
Because as soon as episode 5 a line with psychopatic stalker/fan is of course added. The guy of course handles it wrong, he should not touch such "fanmail" and hand it over to police. Or at least warn the girl. This is why I hate crime plots in lakorns lol. I never complain about logic where romance is concerned, but with crime always lol. They deal with the psycho for whole episode and that brings them closer, it looks they would kiss, but again they don't. So I wouldn't mind the whole stupid thing skipped.
Episode 6, main guy & main girl get even closer because they start to understand each other. They are close to kiss yet once again in very sweet scene but her stomach grumbles loudly in that moment. It's starting to get funny. If the cast had no-kissing contract or there were coronavirus regulations, then they should shoot comedies only. Better than ruin romantic drama with comedy that is unintended. And let the dreamy, poignant soundtrack go to waste. What I also didn't like was that main girl discovered something very important and did not tell the main guy. They should be close enough for that by now. Instead, we have her start talking very hesitantly and interrupted by a mobile phone (seriously, aren't mobile phones magical invention for all the lazy scriptwriters!), then go away. I always dislike when the plot "development" is being kept this way.
Episode 7, both main guy & main girl are forcing themselves to try and "date" other people. They soon give up on that and Kiss in the Rain. I was looking forward their kiss, nevertheless it came in bad timing, by then I was worried about the thing that still got unadressed. Same episode, the second couple, who made zero development throughout the series, gets "together" suddenly. It's funny they made the girl act like a guy and the guy act like a girl, only we can see Kan Kantathavorn is way older than the girl. So it doesn't really work:) Nevertheless, he keeps talking about himself in 3rd person like a girl. She kisses him first, asks him to get married first... After which he moves in with her as obviously she'll be the provider. Main couple gets separated, their connection severed and again we deal with one of the surrounding people being a total psycho and not taking enough measures. Then main girl survives a fire which gets to her prepared new collection, so she's left with clothes that are partially burned (obviously the fire just stopped at a half of a thin fabric) and actually look better than before, but never mind. The dramatic situation gets resolved, both couples happy and after all this we still have 4 more episodes.
After they got the main couple together, they let them fight about banalities and I wondered whether THAT would bring their lost "voice" in the rain back... We then deal with some evil people in fashion industry... We go back to more details about some side-characters... There's more unfinished business here and there... All these things might be important yet I didn't feel the need to watch them in detail, especially AFTER the main stories were practically over. Honestly, the material for this series could be wrapped in 10 episodes tops, and I felt like watching something surplus for several episodes already. They might as well used the fire scene as the dangerous situation in which the "voice" reappears again and end the series on that happy end.
But no, we need to enjoy more scenes like someone introducing their fashion collection named 'Queen', because it's not just beautiful for women to wear, it's also about feeling power, as it's ALSO elegant, LOL. What's unlucky is we then see the clothes (perhaps it would be better if that was just left to imagination) which are some light pink dresses with something that looks like crape paper attached to the chest:)) How endearing some evil guy had to spawn such a dark plan to steal fashion ideas like that lol. Okay I won't laugh, apart from the actual clothes the scene had the right atmosphere. I would cheer for that support character badguy to get caught too, had his side-line not overlapped the central love story (for both couples) which kind of ended already. This was what the series had spreaded uneven. Or at least, I wanted this to be wrapped up in 1 last episode, and not 3.
We then even watch the main girl's fashion show which shows the "dresses" which are all in one same colour (lol), now pitifully without the interesting burned patches. They all kinda reminded me of raincoats for some reason. Which was funny because then it turned out that fashion show had prepared an onstage "rain" which then changed the color of the clothes. The designer who had stolen the designs did not know to steal this functionality. Therefore, it was proven whose was the design, then happy ending lol. Okay, if this was a spoiler for the 4 year old audience, then I apologize. It's still not the final epi. Nevertheless, when forced to watch the side-characters story now instead, I must mention On Nophand Boonyai and Cha Chanicha Boonpanuvichit, their performance stood out, they had the "onscreen presence" that takes more than just goodlooking people. As it so often happens, support cast was on whole different level. In the end, I was way more interested in the "bad guy" than in the mains. They suddenly looked shallow in compare. Was it what this show's creators wanted me to see?
Overall result of all this was when (finally) watching the final, I barely cared. I watched the scenes but didn't care to really listen to the conversations. I kept checking the remaining time... They really made me not care. I confirm the soundtrack was best about this. It's a phenomenon I sometimes experience. The music sounds interesting, it's deep and the video content doesn't match it and in compare is shallow. Like one fellow review mentioned, the opening credits are actually more enjoyable watch than the actual episodes:)
