Basic, but Good
This was a completely different vibe that what I feel I'm use to getting from these two. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed seeing them be jocular and just have fun creating and filming this. A Dog and A Plane is not some grandiose series, but it's fun, it's comedic, and, of course, it's sexy as hell.
Let's Dive In.
A basic series, but a basic series done right. Tay and New play their roles very nicely, and with the supporting cast, they have whipped up this hilarious rom-com with a few deep moments here and there, but mostly funny, mostly zanny, mostly "that would never happen" scenarios, but, nevertheless, and I'll repeat myself over and over again; fun.
Some things I loved: I enjoyed how sexy they were able to be here. It didn't hold back on the dirty jokes or witty banter, and that made the comedy land even better. The wardrobe team also deserves a lot of credit. Everyone looked fantastic, but Tay's styling stood out in particular. Performance-wise, the entire cast pulled their weight. I never felt like anyone was miscast or failed to deliver. Every character brought something entertaining to the table, and the chemistry between the ensemble made the comedy even stronger.
Some nit-picky things: This is less about this series specifically and more about GMMTV as a whole. Their production schedule is starting to show in the final product. The cycle of filming, immediately releasing the trailer, and airing episodes while they're still filming the rest of the series feels unsustainable, and I think it's beginning to affect the overall quality. One of the reasons series from other production companies tend to receive so much praise is because they have the time to develop the story, refine the editing, and polish the final product before it reaches viewers. Personally, I'd much rather wait an extra year for a series that's been carefully crafted than get one as quickly as possible at the expense of quality. I understand GMMTV has television slots to fill, but if they continue prioritizing speed over refinement, I worry the quality of their productions will continue to decline.
More on this series specifically: Mond and Ryu completely sold me on their pairing. Even though their storyline was underdeveloped, their chemistry still came through, and I'm excited to see what they do together in future projects.
The editing, however, was noticeably inconsistent. There were a few scenes that genuinely looked like they had been filmed on an iPhone, and I couldn't understand how they made it into the final cut. And finally, the airport scenes... I simply could not do it. Watching the characters film content so publicly gave me unbearable second-hand embarrassment. I skipped through those scenes because they were just too much for me.
Ratings:
Story: 8.5/10 - It's a really fun story! Some boring parts, but still good! I fall out with most series once the leads get together. So by the few last episodes, I was pretty bored.
Acting: 9/10 - Good!
Music: 6/10 - Didn't pay attention to it.
Recommendation Value: 5/10 - eh. Besides everyone being hot as hell, unless you're looking for comedy, then you're not missing much in this series.
