What was this for?
*Contains spoilers from I Feel You Linger in the Air*
After finishing I Feel You Linger in the Air I immediately watched this and I was more than confused. I'm aware that most special episodes tend to just be a little side story with some extra fluff or spice, but this episode just made no sense to me. For starters Linger ended with us never seeing any of the side characters' reincarnations, Jom and Yai only reuniting in the last minute, and Jom randomly being sent back to the past again to meet another reincarnation of Yai after the end credits. So there was plenty of material for the writers to delve into for the special episode, but then for some reason they just chose to not?? Instead the ending of Linger is completely retconned, were made to believe that Jom and Yai never reunited, and we don't get to see a single other character from Linger in the special.
The producers could have said this episode was for literally anything besides being a special for Linger because other than the main characters sharing names this had nothing to do with Linger. Even the setting made no sense, Jom promised Yai that he'd wait for him at their house in Chiang Mai so why is he now living in Bangkok? I was so confused that I actually started wondering at one point if this was supposed to be an advertisement for the products they were playing around with in the episode and that's why the story was so weird.
This one completely missed the mark and is really not worth watching if you're interested in a continuation of Linger. Treating it as a standalone episode though, not related to Linger, it was cute. A character traveling from past to future is not a common occurrence so it was interesting to see that play out and Jom and Yai's date looked fun. Pretending this is just a random oneshot that has noting to do with Linger is really the only way to enjoy this episode otherwise you'll be disappointed.
