What did I just watch?

When I read the synopsis. I was expecting a really cool story.

These characters didn't have such big problems that they would need a "wish" to solve it. Like what were their needs?

Also what a waste. I hate this jealousy trope where two characters fall in love but because a third character likes one of them they try to sabotage their relationship. Like move on. My whole life has been a series of unrequited love and I ALWAYS just wish the best for the person I like. How immature do people have to be that they don't realize that by forcing someone who doesn't love them into a relationship they are both going to be absolutely miserable. Come on. I had my first crush when I was 3 years old. Yes I remember them - we were best friends, and even then when my brain couldn't even process complex things I was just happy when they were happy even though I knew they didn't like me back - because their dad would always use "getting them married to [me]" as a way to get them to do their chores.

This show was not well written or executed. Directors/Writers please come to me when you want to flesh out your story and dialogue. I don't speak thai but I am happy to work with your writers and storytellers to create good scripts and solid stories. I can add all the cheese and corn you want into the script.

Honestly, with the supernaturally inclined synopsis, there was so much potential to this script but it was completely wasted. I think this was meant to be a bit like the k-drama "mystic pop-up bar" but it failed miserably.

The twist was weird. Like what was the point? Other than to be a twist. It made no logical sense.
