A Story Where Love Doesn’t Replace Faith, But Lives Beside It ?
The director P’Aof did such an amazing job with this show. You can genuinely feel it in how everything is put together and executed till the very end. Nothing feels rushed or forced, it all just flows in a very natural way, especially in the emotional scenes and confessions between characters. What stood out most to me were the quiete moments. The silences, the looks, the pauses… they actually say so much without needing big dialogue.The trans representation through the aunt’s character was something I really appreciated too. Her conversation with Tanrak felt really important, but also very soft and honest. It wasn’t loud or preachy, just two people talking and trying to understand each other. That moment gave Tanrak a lot of emotional support and helped ease his doubts. Also the idea that you don’t have to choose between faith and love came through even stronger there. It wasn’t about changing who you are, but about accepting yourself and still holding onto your beliefs in your own way.
The religious images made everything feel heavier, especially for Tanrak as he walked past them. You could really feel his thoughts getting louder in his head wondering if he’s accepted, and if he’ll ever see his parents again in heaven.
Gemini and Fourth did an amazing job portraying those characters. My rating 9,5/10

The finale was better, but the damage was already done
My honest review below 👇 Watch out for the spoilersDisclaimer: I don’t hate the actors at all. I’m only criticising some of the writing choices.
This show turned into a whole telenovela. It reminded me of The Wicked Game when he literally came back to life lmao, same level of soap opera. But yeah, the show had so many ups and downs. I enjoyed it at times, but other times … not so much.
The trailer made it look so damn good, and then we got … this. I really thought things would get better after their break and reunion at the office, but nope. Just one frustrating episode after another.
The actors were honestly so good, though. They really made these characters work despite the writing. I spent the whole time wanting them to find better matches, only to realise they probably deserve each other and should’ve been together under better circumstances. The red flag was actually more of a green flag and vice versa. The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.
And we barely even got to enjoy them as a couple. They could’ve spent a few episodes on actual character development instead of cramming random plot points into the last two episodes. Like, please, respect the audience!!
I really hope they get a better-written show in the future because they absolutely lived up to their roles. The writing just let them down.
It’s also hilarious how hard the show tried to make Lil Jane this poor, sympathetic victim when his mood swings were honestly too much to handle. That character genuinely escaped the writers and started living his own life. Although… what kind of life is that?
The only one I actually felt sorry for was P. Jane. He was basically treated like a fucking rag the entire time despite everything he did for his boyfriend. And we barely got enough of his backstory to really understand him, which could’ve actually been interesting. Instead, they went for the cheap amnesia plot, followed by his brother getting kidnapped. And then Dan shooting him.
When you can’t write, you just keep ticking off plot points and make the audience chase after them.
And honestly, I’m just glad it was amnesia. He could’ve fallen into a furnace and survived his own cremation. With these writers, I wouldn’t even be surprised if they pulled something like that.
And Dan… our precious Dan he was around WAY too much. Lil Jane kept gravitating towards him like a moth to a flame it was unbearable to watch
I’m genuinely glad some people were able to enjoy this show. It just wasn’t for me. Overall, pretty average in my opinion. Tho the last episode was actually pretty decent.
Rating: 6.5/10 bonus points for the couple Rewatch value: very low.
