That's a great start for JanJingJing, got me in love with them, ngl
The pilot of EWB was a banger. It made me super happy we got JanJingJing as leads and very curious how they gonna pull of their first series.And maaaan, I am in awe how good of a watch it is.
I've watched dozens of Thai Gls till now but this is the very best rom-com (with elements of drama) I've ever seen.
First of all: the characters and acting.
How much I love all the characters is a true joy. From main to support and even every villain where written and acted so well.
I fell in love with Lal and Jan portraying her is a masterclass in comedic acting. The many falls of Lal will be a meme for me for a long time. I really liked LingLing's Wine too, she pulled the quite complicated character very well. Her chemistry with Jan is just firecrackers for me.
I'd like to see more screen time for KapookCiize (though moments they've got were really fun and sexy). The shorter series format is doing no favors for side couples.
And a round of applause from me for Ploypach and JJ for a great comedic duo of Numnim and Bas.
A special appreciation for Tae, actor playing Korn. Good job sir, I truly hate your guts;-P
I really loved the story set in an office work environment. Snap 25 brought up to life a mini-universe of Syntara with greatly detailed set pieces and did great research about office work. The script has so many smart moments and observations about office work and corporations, high quality writing indeed.
The romance of course sits mostly on JanJingJing's shoulders and it delivers, oh boy it delivers. The cute scene, the tender scenes, the love scenes, the drama scene, the comedy scenes - so many good beautiful moments that it will be soooo difficult to say goodbye to LalWine.
The OST and sound was great and the songs by Jan and JingJing will stay on playlist for a looong time. Sound editing and editing in general had some minor worse moments but all in all the production is top notch and is among the best in thai GLs, period.
The finale is still not out but I highly doubt it will change my mind very much. The series was so good that I'd be truly shocked if they'd f*uck anything really up at the end.
So for me it's my second 10/10 in my personal thai GLs ranking (the first was Us the series).
Edit: the finale did not disappoint me. Still 10/10
