Nada com nada

Até gostei do primeiro episódio, mas, conforme os episódios foram passando, percebi que a história não parecia saber para onde queria ir, o roteiro me pareceu perdido. Senti que a história estava indo rápido demais com eles com juras de amor em tão pouco tempo, mas também senti que se estendia demais em coisas desnecessárias.

O tom de comédia que resolveram utilizar também não é muito do meu gosto. Senti mais vergonha alheia do que diversão, então várias cenas que provavelmente eram para ser engraçadas simplesmente não funcionaram para mim.

Os protagonistas, Intha e Eung, pareciam personagens bem pra frentex, mas senti que eles mais ladravam do que mordiam, sabe? Viviam se provocando e fazendo insinuações um para o outro, mas raramente isso realmente levava a algo a mais. Dito isso, não consigo nem me lembrar de um beijo decente deles. Sei que há defensoras de que beijo não é tudo e, dependendo da temática da obra, eu poderia até entender. Mas estamos falando aqui de dois personagens adultos e aparentemente vividos, em uma história que acompanha justamente o romance e o cotidiano deles.
Eu não fazia questão de cenas íntimas, mas pelo menos um beijo em que eu olhasse e pensasse "nossa, que beijo bonito" era o mínimo. E nem digo "bonito" no sentido sexual da coisa, mas sim um beijo que passasse sentimento e romantismo. Eles chegaram a se lamber, mas beijar que era bom... nada que eu me lembre.

Os outros personagens e casais secundários foram um grande tanto faz. Se apareceram em dois episódios seguidos, foi muito. Não consegui criar simpatia por praticamente ninguém.

O bar do Eung, em que o Intha se tornou sócio, era para ser meio que a liga e o centro da história. Mas o bendito nem começou a funcionar e já foi jogado de escanteio de novo.

A trama do ex e do namorado também me incomodou bastante. Os dois foram extremamente tóxicos, cometeram crimes praticamente, para no final se perdoarem e ainda serem perdoados como se nada tivesse acontecido.

Mas é isso mesmo. Acho que, para quem gosta muito dos atores ou quer assistir a uma história com a cabeça mais desligada, talvez funcione melhor. Não foi para mim. Acabei empurrando com a barriga até o final... e preciso parar com essa mania.

When it starts well and then loses you in the middle

The story was pretty interesting in the beginning but at some point it just got super draggy and the focus completely drifted away from the leads.
I have to say I didnt expect Esther to play this role so well.... The issue is the further the show progressed the more she fell back into her cutesy acting and it didnt fit the character anymore.....
ML didnt knock it out if the park either.....
Also I really dont feel a single bit of chemistry or tension between our leads.

But still giving credit to all the side characters that made this show very lively.

Wasn't a total waste, but didn't really grow on me

I started this drama without any expectations, but along the way I developed some. However, in the end, none of them were delivered in a way that left me satisfied.

Firstly, the romance was mostly built on misunderstandings, stubbornness and bad communication, mixed with yearning, protectiveness and constant self-sacrifice. But it had its nice moments too, and those are the moments I cherish the most, because they were the ones that kept me watching.

Secondly, some of the characters deserved more screen time than they were given, and some were present way too often. The villains were quite predictable, yet somehow a little disappointing, and the supporting characters were always there to support, sometimes even stealing the spotlight. Some of the side plots were particularly interesting, and I would have loved it if they had developed them more than they did, but the screen time was given to the main plot, which felt quite repetitive at times, especially in the middle part.

Overall, the story wasn't a total waste, but it didn't really grow on me. It was often messy and chaotic, detaching me from the characters and leaving me wondering why they did what they did, and why the writers had to include this or that, because sometimes the plot choices really didn't make sense.

If anyone wants to watch this, my conclusion is this: don't expect too much. Enjoy the visuals, the actors, and the mess the plot offers, and you'll be fine. As for me — once bitten, twice shy. I will remember this as the first drama of Song Weilong I ever watched, but otherwise, I am shelving this and probably not returning to it again.

time travel DONE RIGHT

oh my god! what an amazing amazing series!!
as someone who's obsessed with you know, being together for life after life, and reincarnations.. this was a treat!

this series makes you travel with it. you're right there beside Klao figuring out why did it all happen!
it perfectly balances being a romance, a mystery, and a time travel story. as Klao gains memories, you gain clues as to what actually happened.
you feel betrayed, heartbroken, and happy as Klao, Phop, Kaew, Jom figure things out while navigating their own feelings.

I was a bit afraid as to how will they sum up their now life, meeting each other, knowing each other, in just one episode at the end but it was the most beautiful thing!

a must must watch! so well written. not a single plothole!
would've loved to see Chred being miserable tho :/

however, kinda left a sour taste in my mouth with the whole "i started watching over you for 2 years and planned the whole thing". i kinda don't like it when BL series do that, but especially this. if they were destined to meet, all of that wasn't needed

i would like to end this review by saying, KAEW/PUN. IT IS ILLEGAL HOW PRETTY YOU ARE!!!!
okay bye <3

I feel that if you like cute drams this one is the one for you it has a lot of cuteness in it and it also has some depth in it wish makes it way better but it doesn't last that long with is sad so I really wished we could of have more time on that topic but it was pretty good and it really is a pause and cringe but smile type of shoe it really gives off giggling so much vibes.

this drama has a ml where he is portrayed as very pure hearted and kind whilst the other male lead is seen as nonchalant and even a heartbreaker which is fine it makes the story ten times better it and it's really nice thing about this story is that it shows us or at least from my point of view when they realized they were in love.

so, if you like cute, fluffy and pure and funny dramas this one is for you it may have it tiny moments of sadness, but what show doesn't I would definitely recommend it and rewatch it myself if I lost my memory this show would on my top list to watch .

Korea is King of Gore, Force & Intensity

What I love about Korean cinematography is the realism by which they just draw me in. The focus on tangible facts and objectivity is above par, imho. As a schadenfreude, I enjoy the intention placed on the gore and how they explain in detailed conversations what was done and with what, as if it’s normal discussions— because they are. It’s what investigators do.

If you’re someone who enjoys trying to put the pieces together by developing theories which often times react to gut feelings, this is a good watch. My mind wonders at the slightest clues…which might amount to nothing. However, it’s what makes these well put together storylines worth watching.
