I'm not even exaggerating, this series is an over-all 10/10
10/10 STORY: When I watched the trailer, I thought I was never gonna like the series, that it's gonna be a boring plot about a volunteer teacher in a village, falling in love with an officer. Everything was new to me since I got used to university and office romance so i thought "how were they gonna pull this off?", I said there was no way this series will be able to get the viewers romantically thrilled/excited, mature and mountain theme will be booorinngg. But a few episodes in and I'm already hooked, wanting for more! It even exceeded most of the series that I've watched and love. I'm not even gonna say anything as I want whoever is reading this, having second thoughts if they should watch it or not, to go check the series for themselves.What i liked about it the most too is that it didn't need a second couple that would take up screen time just to try hard to give romantic excitement to the viewers, I love how the director knew that they didn't need that and the chemistry was so good that the main characters/couple was enough romance for the whole series.
10/10 ACTING/CAST: Great acting, great chemistry/ They were really capable of portraying their characters well that I'd forget that I was watching Mixx and Earth. They owned their characters and it was almost as if it was they truly were Phupa and Tian. Characters are very realistic, we got a stubborn kind-of-rebellious rich kid with a great character development by the end, and a very responsible, reliable hunk chief officer that everyone looks up to. I also love Tian and Phupa's supportive friends, most especially DOC NAM, which is by far, one of the best side characters of all-time. Also, nobody was toxic in the series so it was really refreshing.
10/10 MUSIC: Although it suits the theme, at first I was like "what's up with this flute music" but then I grew fond of it. It really served well as the series' identity.
10/10 REWATCH VALUE: this series is special, magical and a once in a blue moon experience. I'm glad that I got curious and watched it. Now it became one of my favorites. This series gave me happiness, thrill, sweet memories and lessons and I'm certain that it will have the same effect to the new curious viewers out there. I'm willing to re-live each moments/episodes over and over again.
