Not The Typical RomCom

I can't say anything more than what others have said about this series. It's exceptionally well made.

One, the story. The premise is a typical set up. A little Romeo and Juliet or the story they will discuss in the series itself. However, what made this show endearing is how they built on that premise. You have two boys who were raised to dislike one another only to find out that they mean much more to each other than they thought. The main characters are good boys, both for when it comes to family and when it comes to friends. I can't describe them any other way, they have so much heart despite being slightly different form the other. I have so much to say about the script, especially the subtleties woven in between lines. My heart grew fonder for them when they portrayed a healthy relationship with open communication and consent. Something that should be celebrated. They also show relationships beyond the two main leads, branching out to their friends, family and the other people around them.

The story isn't perfect, but it has all the heart.

Two, the acting/cast. This is by far the best in chemistry among all of them. I will say that the main leads really acted well. I have watched a great deal of series, but the synergy Ohm Pawat and Nanon Korapat have is explosive. It's no surprise to me that they are close friends in real life because it shows. The way they acted screamed comfortable and the way they interacted with everyone else felt homey. The entire cast of this series feel like they are comfortable with each other and it adds to the beauty that is this story. Kudos to them for doing that so well.

Music. I like all the songs and the score of this series. Close to the topic at hand and the mood matches the events. Nothing else to be said except for you to experience it yourself.

I will miss Fridays anticipating for this series. It really is something different. From the story to the acting to the direction to the production, all of it felt well-rounded and done with care. Clearly, a lot of them enjoyed their time on set. It felt light and nice to watch it all play out on screen. I will miss Pat and Pran and their friends and family. I will miss the cute moments, the deep moments, the sad moments and the moments that made you feel understood.

I wish only the best for the cast and crew. They created something special, and I hope they continue to have that with them.

One thing I am sure of after finishing the last episode is that I'd be prepared to watch it all over again.
