Disappointing Remake

I am a fan of the original manga. I also watched the Japanese drama. Both were entertaining, so when I heard it was being remade in Thailand, I was really looking forward to it, especially since it would feature my favorite duo, Gemini and Fourth! I thought these two would be a perfect fit for "My Love Mix-Up!".

However, after watching this drama, I regret to say that it didn’t suit them at all. In fact, the characters didn’t match them, which was quite surprising.

I understand that since it's based on a manga, the overall acting tends to be exaggerated, but Atom was overly exaggerated, and Kottap was completely unreadable. While Gemini and Fourth are known for their high acting skills, these roles just didn’t fit them at all.

That being said, Madmee and Half were amazing! Especially Madmee!!! She truly shone with a refreshing vibrance like a piece of fruit. She was perfect for her role!

The storyline of the drama followed the original work, but there were some modifications here and there. Since it seemed like the manga was simply adapted into a drama, the transition of Atom's feelings, from a misunderstanding to truly falling in love with Kottap, as well as Kottap, who didn’t know love, gradually falling for Atom, was portrayed too superficially. The drama needed to delve deeper into these parts to convincingly show why the two really fell in love.

For example, even if they fell in love easily, it would have been better if there were more scenes showing them deepening their bond as lovers afterward. The drama felt shallow, like a simple adaptation of the manga, and overall, it was disappointing.

I hope Gemini and Fourth will appear in an original Thai production rather than a remake. I still want to see more of them and their various performances.
