So, theres a few things I feel like I should mention in my review here. Overall, The Air was an enjoyable watch, although there were definitely a few things that bothered me. One of the biggest was the way the foreign setting/characters were handled. I’ve had a similar issue with other shows where a character is from a foreign country but somehow speaks a language that isn’t particularly close to their own, especially when the country isn’t even a neighbouring one. It just felt a little strange to me and gave me some weird vibes from the beginning. Minor details since this is a Thai show so it makes a lot of sense that they would mainly be speaking Thai, so none there its just the whole Blew's apparent mother tongue being english but speaks Thai more without having any anglicisms or loosing words, I myself grew up bilingual so it was a weird ick, but it didnt take me so out of the show too much.

I also felt like the romance between Vayo and Blew was a little rushed. It was cute, and I enjoyed watching them together, but I wish the show had given their relationship more time to develop naturally, maybe making it a 12 episodes and not 8 it couldve been explored more. Because of how quickly their feelings progressed, some of the emotional moments didn’t hit quite as strongly for me as I think they were meant to.

This was also my first 4 Elements series, so there may have been some things I missed or appreciated less because I didn't have the context from the other 2 shows that had already finihsed airing. That's probably partly on me. Even so, I still had a good time watching it, and despite my criticisms, I think The Air was a solid and enjoyable watch overall.
