our very own paradise, pluto

when the mock trailer dropped i literally screamed cause the last thing i expected was film to be in a gl. after that i got to know abt the novel this show is based on and prepared myself for a toxic mess but the show and the team surprised me a lot.

a lot of the story is changed, like the team took the prompt from the novel and wrote the rest on their own. and i think that was a great decision.
aioon and may are very morally grey characters who are humanized and made very vulnerable. they don't condemn their actions nor glorify them just two people falling in love in very unique (?) situation.
i loved the pacing, the first half showing us how ai and may fall for each other and the other half addressing the elephant(s) in the room.
this was a romance which satisfied me. we see both of them learning about each other, sharing their insecurities and deepest pains and finding comfort in each other instead of rushing.
i feel like they handled may's blindness and everything related well along with oom as a part of this. i really sympathize with oom and also see her pov. they wrapped up everything nicely. from the accident, oom's ptsd, grandma's love etc

the one thing that irritated me the most was the 'first love' thing which eventually becomes the reason why oom breaks up with may. that was so dumb to me. its not even first love, its a first crush if we are pushing it. i get that oom is deeply insecure but come on, at least u could have shown may reassuring her. and the way may kind of accepts the fact that she always wanted ai??? like did may and oom dating did not mean anything???? they could have made a more solid reasoning for their breakup. also i did not like that instead of being at least 5% mad at may for being one of the reason her so called best friend(given that i thought he died cause we never see him until way later on) is disabled and a orphan, ai overlooks it. that could have added a bit more depth to may's arc
to finish off the complaints, i think the editing was off and the faults were very noticeable in certain episodes, mostly in scenes where we cut from one location to a new one. the cinematography also didn't feel right in certain places. also was not no budget to make a intro/opening sequence, cause wtf was that? we have such beautiful actress, scenes and osts and u have video sequence with so much slideshow animation.....this show deserved a better one

the jaw dropping part of this series is namtan and film. their acting and chemistry??? off the charts. especially namtan, she played both oom and aioon so well u could totally tell them apart even. i been a fan of film but this was literally her best work. no words left for the chemistry.

the osts are so good too, they lyrics match with the theme so well.

pim,pang and jan were fun to watch even though they didn't add much. kapook my girl i will get u a gl where u end up happy (kapook gl with pipoly,cize and jan as her love interest for 2026 pls gmmtv)

overall a very good series, will definitely rewatch it
