Started great, but ended up in a crash
I wasn't expecting much when I started watching this, I was surprisingly into it.
PROS
•Chemistry - I personally thought that Kevin and Pleum had really good chemistry together. It was very cute and there wasn't any awkward moments for me.
•Acting - Everyone in this show has done a good job acting. Special recognition for the actor who played See-foon. I loved how the portrayed his sadness and acceptance!
•Excellent communication most of the time. I was happy to see the main couple talk through their problems and fights. It's really refreshing to not see any misunderstandings.
•Proper Consent!!! - I loved how Pleum backed off whenever Kevin looked like he was getting uncomfortable. He made sure that Kevin was into whatever they were doing. Some dramas could use this as a lesson 👀
•The stylist who styled Kevin deserves a raise. His entire outfit looks really good. His hairstyle, costumes, and jewelry were all perfect.
CONS
•It crashed and burned from halfway of episode 7. I honestly don't what the director or the writers were thinking . They suddenly completely changed Kevin's character. They turned him from a sweet and understanding guy into a selfish and self-absorbed person. I hated everything they did after the half of episode 7. It felt like they suddenly felt like adding more drama for the sake of it. It was a big disappointment compared to the previous episodes.
•Too many plot holes - There was just so many things that were left unexplained. No matter how the good the main couple is, it cannot be a good drama if there's so many plot holes!!!!
•American guy?? - This is not a very major thing, but it bugged me a lot. Kevin does not look like a guy who has lived abroad for a long time at all. His "American accent" does not convince me at all. He doesn't act like someone who coming back to a different country after a long time. I honestly wish they spent more time with this part of his characterization.
Overall - The exact rating I have in mind 7.8. It's a pretty sweet and adorable show. It had great start and it was going well until it suddenly deviated from it's storyline. It had potential to make some great angsty scenes, but unfortunately it missed the mark. If I ever rewatch this, I might only watch it until the first half of episode 7. I think I'm going to just pretend that the rest did not happen because it makes no sense. T
