Huh?

This wasn't the best show I've ever seen, but at least it didn't follow the cookie cutter outline of so many Thai shows. It didn't have all those repeated milestones most shows have like two people that hate each other then POW! or people falling and keeping their faces together for 5 minutes without moving...? "I'm not Gay. I just happened to fall in love with a guy. Love is love." (The first time I heard that, I was impressed and moved. The 50th time, I was rolling my eyes and irritated. Anyway, it didn't have all those things, so for that alone, I liked it.

You kind of knew from episode 1 how the story would end, but you knew it was a happy ending, so forge ahead. Well, a Covid time warp in real life separated the show at episode 8 and oddly, a different show began in episode 9. It honestly feels like two separate shows. I don't know what happened to Peace (Nite1) but now there's Pak (Nite2). Episode 9 and most of 10 was lost on me because I found myself just saying 'Huh?' the whole time. I annoyed even myself. I imagines thousands of viewers laughing at me for not knowing what was going on. Nite1 was lovely if not a bit stiff. Nite2, also lovely and very reminiscent of Nite1. That added to the confusion. Tee(Tae) went from looking like a kid to looking older with an adult body and blonde hair and very good looking. Anyway... here are the best choices... 1-think of it as two completely separate shows or 2- just watch episodes 9-12 and call it a day.

The OST "When Love Is Right" is very Thai drama OST-ish but amongst them very good and catchy.

Ratings:
Story was low because it gave me a headache.
Acting: I can't say problems in this weren't the director's fault and don't want to be hurtful to the actors.
Music: OST and some interesting use of music were good.
Rewatch: For me.. .no.
Overall: went above suggested to 7 because I did watch every episode
