Love at first sight

This instalment of My Universe was messy but cute and not too bad. Just a bit too long, a bit draggy and a bit too many flashbacks!

The story is a bit simpler than the synopsis makes it out to be. Pheem is a university student, son of a garage owner and pretending to be rich. His ex-boyfriend, Ta, is pestering him to get back together which Pheem refuses citing a new boyfriend, unfortunately an imaginary one. So Ta invites them both to a major party he organizes in a few weeks time. Now, Pheem is hard-pressed to find a new boyfriend. He crosses paths with a student he bumped into a few days earlier and fell for at first sight. But he refuses to talk to him. Until Pheem finds a way to blackmail him into pretending to be in a relationship. Spending time together, makes Pheem fall hook line and sinker for Phol. And vice versa.

The story is interesting but not fleshed out enough. They had time to do it but they spent it on very long flashbacks, very long and totally unnecessary! The fake relationship became real very quickly! Some people consider it too fast but what is wrong with love at first sight? Which was exactly what Pheem experienced!

Production value is really low here. The filming is lazy, the extras practically non existent, and they should definitely avoid putting scenes of parties and clubs in this whole collection: they just cannot make it believable with 2 extras, 5 balloons and paper cups strewn on the floor! Music was better in these episodes: we were not subject to endless repetition of title song: there was actually some different background music insisting on the comedy aspect of the story!

But this is saved by the actors: they are cute, charismatic (especially North) and have good chemistry. I really hope to see them again in something better produced!
