So cute! For a series that's just 4 episodes, the pacing is amazing. Not too slow and not too fast. The amount of story they packed in is a testament to how wonderfully the plot was written. Kudos to the director and the writer. I could have done with a few less imagination scenes, but it's to be expected since the series is called Midnight Fantasy. Also, GMMTV could not have cast a better actor to play a radio DJ. GMMTV has many talented singers with beautiful voices, but Singto's normal speaking voice stands out from the rest; it's simply mesmerizing.
I enjoyed both sides of Singto's character so much! As alluring and suave as DJ Titan is, the rude-mouth, hot-headed, confrontational Tan is so refreshing. I'm used to seeing Singto play characters that hold their emotion in until they explode, so to see him so unfiltered with straight-up savage dialogue is such a treat. I did get the impression he was trying very hard to harden his voice for some of the more caustic remarks, but that just might because his soft-spoken persona is basically fixed in my mind.
I'm used to seeing exaggerated facial expressions in KDramas and Thai dramas, but Singto is the master of subtly. You really have to watch his acting closely and it blows you away when you see how much emotion he can express with just his eyes. His acting has grown so much and seriously shows no signs of slowing down. I just wish my attention wasn't torn from keeping up with subtitles :(
Jamie was adorable! There were moments where I found Mimi a bit annoying but never enough that she's unlikable. Plus, if she didn't have the personality she did (being a bit nosy and a chatty scaredy-cat), the plot probably wouldn't have progressed as fast as it did. In fact, it was a necessity for her to have those characteristics. My only issue with her overall is "Honey, that is NOT how you wear glasses! They go on the bridge of your nose, not the tip!" I'm a bit Singto-biased so it's hard for me to say if Singto and Jamie had chemistry. My favorite scenes were when Mimi was with her Dad or her best friend.
Lastly, Off and Singto! OMG! I cannot get enough of their verbal combat. It shows that these two are really good friends. Their scenes together were so natural. Off's acting blew me away. Like damn, he was amazing in Theory of Love but the small scenes he had in this series stands out! I can't wait to watch Girl Next Room: Richy Rich for Off and Mild.
