This was one big advertisement

Thailand is known for its product placement in dramas and sometimes it becomes blatantly obvious that they are shoving it on our faces. Vice Versa and Bad Buddy had plenty of those but it was tolerable because the quality of storytelling made it up for the most part and the placing was alright.

Every five seconds, I am seeing a product featured that I am unable to get the entire point of this story. In my opinion, other than the utilization of a few plot points, I would not even classify this as a remake.

I've read the manga and watched the Japanese adaptation and I must say that this piece of work did not resonate with the characters at all. I was this close to dropping out of this drama because Fourth and Gemini just fell flat on the ground to me. They for sure can act! There's no doubt that they cannot. But this felt like both of them were going to be held at gunpoint if they did not sign up to do this drama. It felt forced and that was definitely conveyed to the audience. As the well known saying goes, the camera spares no one.

Although, the main reason I pulled through this drama was because Chokun and Pahn were relatively new to the limelight and I wanted to support their work. They have a long way to go but it was incredibly refreshing to see new faces with an adequate amount of screentime for a second couple. I hope both of them get better projects from GMMTV and continue to strive throughout their respective journeys.

And lastly, for the life of me... I do not understand how is this show still rated as 8.1?!

However, I do feel the need to point out that I do respect everyone's opinion as to whether they enjoyed the show or not. But this was definitely not my cup of tea and I just wanted to share my thoughts.
