Uuuh this was a fun one
(sorry for any mistakes beforehand. I am writing this at 3am and won‘t have time to proof read immediately)
The good stuff:
- I didn‘t know anything about the plot before starting, so the way I perked up when the princess switch plan started. Immediately hooked.
- big props to all actors, they did great. Becky with her double role definitely stood out. 90% of the time I saw the characters as two separate people. But also ‚Grace‘, how Renée played her 👏👌. Definitely got scared at times.
- the action scenes were great. Nice tension, good fighting scenes.
- I loved the daughter father dynamic between General Wathit and Lom. hehe
- as always so far I really enjoyed when the other cousins plus their wives appear and interact with each other. As well as other recurring characters like Fah the journalist.
- that people got seriously hurt and/or died. Put the stakes quite high and the danger has to be taken seriously
- the villain monologue with her background story with that singing gave me chills.
- The bridal bouquet with the flowers. Mmh.
The meh stuff:
- For this one I thought „ye, this has the right amount of episodes“ until the last episode happened. Again a 1h 30min long one and the giving up her title and then the wedding happened a little to quickly. The struggle duty vs love was a little too short.
- Generally the part with Blew not knowing what (romantic) love is yet was introduced a little late for me.
- I would‘ve loved to see more of the main villains, especially during that two episode island „retreat“ in the middle of the series. The plot slowed down a little too much there. A simple radio or TV report on the whereabouts of the impostor princess and co. would‘ve been enough. Just so we always remember what‘s at stake and try to figure out what the villains next step could be. The actively executing bad guys were a good threat but I would‘ve loved to see a little more movement from the master(s) of the plan. Especially once the original plan didn‘t work out.
- That the father didn‘t even show up for the second wedding. Nor the brother (at least he is in contact with Blew) There I was a little sad on behalf of Blew. Maybe we get a reunion in an overarching special episode. I hope so. Would be sad if we left it like this.
- I thought the fact that Lom is a serial flirter (dater?) would be a bit more relevant throughout. I mean it was but then again not. She was smitten with Blew from the get go which struck me as odd compared to the Lom we know from Earth & Air. And in the last episode I got a little confused. So, is Lom just a flirtatious person but that‘s it…? No flings? No situationships? No serial unserious dating? How convenient. That would‘ve thrown the plot overboard otherwise.
- something about the bouquet going to Fai…
…I think I had more to say but my brain is fried now. I can‘t think anymore. I will go to sleep (at some point rewatch the series) and then edit this review again.
Thanks for reading :)
