A deeply moving, emotional tale of healing
Not without flaws because the story does stall a few times, + is really dark yet there is a settled quietness and beauty to the plot. Some of the plot can be considered pointless esp at how fast the romance between Kongkwan and Phukao happens. But, this story isn't really about romance, no it's a story about discovering lowest points in youself, moving on and healing after a great loss or trauma. It also teaches that no matter how hard it is at times, hate is never a good thing because it destroys lives. In that area I think the writers did a job even if they failed in the romance area. This series would have been better without the love story but hey most plots need romance for most of us so.....
I do think the characters were strong enough to carry this story, especially the teens. They really are the light; teaching the adults incredible lessons and showing them that as grownups they will be better than them. I did question a lot of the actions of the adults and highly disliked them. I was happy that in the end all learned their lesson and became better people because of it. I think another thing that didn't work well was the crime. I get why it was there and why it was so important to the plot, yet it didn't quite work for me. Thankfully the villains got their comeuppance.
The performances from Ohm, Off, View, Pluem and Gunsmile were outstanding here. In a series like this one, they can highlight their talents and shine. Ohm certainty did when he was meant to be emotional he pulled it off, The level of emotion this kid portrayed was amazing. View, this was my first time seeing her, and I got to say she blew me away with her talent. Gunsmile- why doesn't he have a lead role? He's been working with GMMTV for years and nothing? unfair. Gunsmile desrves a lead role he definitely shone in the final episode and broke my heart. Off is a master in tortured characters so I'm glad he's getting his chance to shine more and show what he can do. Tu was hit or miss with me, I usually like her but when she was paired with the likes of Ohm, Off, View and Pluem her flaws in acting are more obvious than before. I hope she takes this as a learning curve so she can improve more. She is better at the emotional scenes, imo than the lighter ones.
Overall, I give this series a 9.5 because I enjoyed how deep this series was and how much it made me feel week to week and the lessons it strived to show. It may not be perfect, but I enjoyed it quite enough that it goes into my favorite of the year pile. Will I rewatch? Yeah, when I need more of my Ohm, and Off or when I want to feel emotions with a series.
