Product placement in the form of mermaid drama. Compact & fun!

I am writing two-series reddit posts about mini dramas and vertical dramas with mermaid & merman trope. This drama is one of them. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this very short drama.

What I liked:
1. Plot - Compact and well-written for a product placement. I was amazed.
2. Acting - Good performances by the four leads and this is a mobile phone ad. The two leading ladies were very charming.
3. Fantasy - I loved the elements presented here as they were refreshing. No tears that turn to pearls.
4. Dynamics - I enjoyed the contrasting dynamics between Shi Yue and Bai Yu (sismance), between Bai Yu and An Xu Guang and between him and Shi Yue. The latter involved cute rivalry & banter.
5. Styling - I really liked the green highlights worn by Qin Xie Xie. Yang Yang looked handsome ethereal in white / silver wig. Overall the outfits worn by the cast were visually appealing.
6. FLs - Wonderfully written. They were smart & compassionate.
7. Length - This was perfect for a short video promoting a mobile phone. No complaints.
8. ML - There was more focus on his crush on Bai Yue than on his work but hey I enjoyed his arc.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - He was evil & power hungry.

Favourite scene
When ML found out that Bai Yu was visiting him

Star stunning cast, wattpad fiction plotting!

As one of, if not the most anticipated romance drama with a star studded cast and a promising summary, let's rip the bandaid off with my honest opinion of finishing Perfect Crown.

With a wattpad-esque premise of a rich business woman and the charming bachelor prince, it was right up my alley. IU and Byeon Woo Seok was an interesting pairing, and I will actually point towards the pacing and plot as two of the issues for the show.

The visuals are very much stunning and grand, but the pacing is sacrificed for long montages or clips that do nothing to evolve the storyline. K-dramas are known for long scenes where the charaters just stare at each other, so it felt somewhat nostalgic to have a feeling of watching a drama from ten years ago. Long montages of walking, dressing up or walking into parties are part of showing the worldbuilding, but it suffers when the characters, nor the plot, haven't been built up to stand on their own.

It was actually all fine until the last couple episodes of the show. Multiple attempted murder-plots, a super villain rising under the original "villain" as well as the political tension regarding the main couples romance just snowballed into an absurd mess. All of the actors did a splendid job with what they had, the camera team as well! It felt absurd, and especially IUs character that was supposed to be a badass, cold-hearted business woman failed to assure me of the character the writers had started the show with.

Whilst I enjoyed the wardrobe of the Queen Mother and the Prince, our main lead IU had a somewhat turbulent fashion that made me question their mood board for her characters fashion sense. Whilst it felt like a fashion take made to withstand the era of 2026, it felt somewhat outdated in certain choices.

Is this a bad show? Not by any means (if you count anything except the beige press on nails IU had on for the entirety of the show that did not even fit her nails). You can see how much effort they put into the production, visuals and the outcome. Did it somewhat feel like a story of a k-drama from 2016? Absolutely. I was here for a good time, which ended with a lukewarm fanfic-esque ending (and a rage regarding ill-fitting press on nails on lead actors!)

Better spend your 2 hours for something else

Suffer the same plot holes and idiotic moments as every other zombie themed shows that predate it.

Zero story and very weak characters. It's just a fast pace of events showing a small group of people running from the zombies, while occassionally getting into heated arguments and do stupid shit that get them killed.

Film maker told us that she's supposed to be a reknown bio-tech professor, but they failed miserably to deliver that premise at all. It's a shame really.

Having Jun Ji-Hyun and Ji Chang-Wook as the main casts ain't gonna save this garbage.

1 star rating from me.

the fog that never lifts

there's a difference between disappearing and dissolving. when someone dies of old age, illness, accident they disappear. they vanish from the world all at once and leave a hole in the exact shape of the person they were. but when someone is executed for having the wrong thoughts, for dreaming of a different world, for daring to imagine that person doesn't disappear. they dissolve. they become fog. they become the air other people breathe without knowing where it came from.


the film follows one impossible week in the life of a girl who traveled to taipei to retrieve her brother's body. but what chen yu-hsun understands and this is what separates a good film from a film that stays with you is that the body was never the point. the body is just the reason yue leaves home. what she finds along the way is something else entirely: a world that punishes memory, that charges you for the right to grieve, that turns mourning into bureaucracy and pain into a fee. taipei isn't a city in this film. it's a system. and the system has no interest in letting you hold onto who you lost.

but people find a way. they always do. chao kung-tao is proof of that a broken man who still extends his hand, not out of pure kindness but for the most human reason possible: he's been in the hole before and he knows what it feels like. the connection between the two of them isn't pretty or clean. it's necessary. and necessity, in this film, is worth more than anything.

fifty years later yue is still looking. not for her brother she knows where he is. she's looking for the week she survived, the man who helped her survive it, the version of herself that held the watch with both hands and kept walking even without knowing where she was going. trauma doesn't go away. it just learns to live inside you quietly.

the fog never lifts. but with time you learn to see through it.

The First Frost: A Healing Drama That Made Sang Yan My Standard

It's been quite a long time since I last watched Chinese dramas. I've mostly been watching K-dramas, but lately many of them have started to feel repetitive, so I decided to switch to Chinese dramas for a change. Also, there haven't been many new dramas from the actors I usually like.

I ended up watching The First Frost because I was drawn to the visuals of the lead actor and actress on the poster. Before this, I didn't know either Bai Jingting or Zhang Ruonan, so I watched it with no bias or expectations at all. Since this was the first drama I'd seen featuring them, I could judge it purely on its own merits.

Their acting was truly amazing.I was so captivated by Bai Jingting's detailed and nuanced acting that I can't even imagine anyone else playing Sang Yan. His performance was incredibly convincing and brought the character to life in such a natural way.

The way he portrayed Sang Yan was so good that Sang Yan has become my ideal standard. I genuinely feel that the acting was exceptional, and he delivered one of the best performances I've seen.

I also think the story is an excellent healing drama. It delivers comfort and emotional healing in a very meaningful way.

I believe that if someone had a person who loved them the way Sang Yan loves Wen Yifan, they could eventually overcome all the difficulties and trauma they had experienced in life, just as Wen Yifan did. The drama made me feel that genuine love, support, and understanding can help a person heal and move forward from even their deepest emotional wounds.

This drama is definitely worth watching and I highly recommend it.

It's refreshing to watch another drama where the female lead really acts and fights like a true villain. Chen Duling is such a great actress, and she really gives me goosebumps every time I see her on screen. The plot is quite unique and new to me. It is not your typical romance and every episode keeps me on the edge of my seat. I am so invested in the story that I just want to keep watching until the very end. The chemistry between Chen Duling and Zhou Yiran is undeniable. Their dynamic is intense, electric, and so addictive to watch. I really can’t wait to see how this amazing drama unfolds.

SO UNHINGED LIKEE

okay so this movie had me absolutely LOSING it the whole time. the ml was giving such unhinged autistic energy like bro has never had a normal conversation in his life and i was EATING it up. Their whole vibe was 2 'smart' idiots learning to communicate for their life. IT WAS MESSY BUT I LOVED IT. The studying scenes where she tryna be normal and he's just existing loudly, following her like a little puppy and the way he pulls a Spider-Man to jump anywhere had me on the floor. but the FINAL SCENE?? girl really said "i cant hit ball to save my life but i CAN and WILL launch myself at this man's mouth with sniper precision" like PLS the physics were not physicsing the way she literally FLEW to kiss him it had me cracking ONGG. she was out here doing olympic-level mouth targeting while failing basic P.E.
The side characters were also unginged like no one literally NO ONE was normal in this movie except for the cousin - a bit ig. I'd rewatch it anyday if I just wanna have a disastrous laugh

Breathtaking!

Just completed the first 4 eps. And my first thought is that it's breathtaking. The visuals and aesthetics are absolutely wow, and the pacing is fast without being confusing. I think they did an amazing job setting the mood and the plot.

And the mind games are quite good also! The FL tricks not just the other characters but also the watchers, which I loved. But it does get a little confusing, and I'm not sure if that's intentional or not? Because each time she deals with the others, she pretends to lose only to take them by surprise. So in ep 4, when she actually loses, it wasn't apparent at all. Her stabbing the palace worker and getting agitated at Xiao Xun , I was kinda still waiting for a counterattack, like everything was part of her plan. It wasn't until the last few mins of her convo with the ML that I wasn't sure she had actually slipped. Or maybe she didn't, and she's just reeling the ml in. Maybe the future eps will show it, im not sure.

And the twists, they are really good but come so fast that it doesn't let you fully immerse. Not bad though, just something I noticed...

And im not sure is it just me or the fl's eye makeup is kinda weird? idk its kinda scary and makes the emotions look weird? CDL does do a amazing job but yeah the eye makeup is really throwing me off. And ZYR. Man is really slaying his role. And as usual he has more chemistry with blood than anything else lol.

Also speaking of chemistry, I don't really feel the promised sizzling chemistry yet, especially compared to both actors' previous work with their co-leads. Maybe its because according to the plot they dont fully trust each other. yet and aren't on each others side. But honestly, the eye to eye shots, i couldnt feel the apparent chemistry at all, esp with CDL's eye makeup ruining the entire shot for me.

But plotwise i think its quite a good start. I would honestly love it more if she also tricks everyone including the ml, instead of getting nerfed for the ml to scoop in and save her. Honestly i would prefer it if the ml on his side also tries to trick her and then they meet each other halfway. But i think 24eps is too short to pull it. But yeah! 4 eps is too short to judge. But so far so good! ^^

Predictable romcom with enemies to lovers plot line

So if I had to say one thing before I mention anything I really wanted to watch this back in 2022 when it aired but back then but never really got around to watching it, and then I just saw online that this wasn’t the most memorable watch. So for whatever reason I just didn’t. But now that I actually had time to catch up on some of the series, that I really wanted to watch, I finally got around to starting this show.

So yes, as a lot of other people have written it’s not the most memorable watch it’s very typical romcom for its time and still now a couple years after it’s released. It’s very typical enemies to lovers why we see the two main characters slowly fall for each other it’s got it ups and downs and it’s got some great twists. Honestly, I care more of the music throughout the show, but that’s not even a part of the plot. It’s just OST. And I love Kyuhyun who made one of them.
Well, back onto the review part I feel like this one definitely had potential to be better than what it actually was but it just kind of falls flat in the sense that it’s you know stereotypical romcom enemies to lovers type of plotline so it’s very predictable. But I might just have also set my standards too high if a plot is too predictable it’s hard for the actress to make it better.

Overall, I don’t regret watching this, but it’s not one I scream and yell for that I’d really wanna rewatch, it also didn’t really have me on the edge of my seat or crying my eyes out in anyway so maybe just take that into consideration if you’re considering this drama.

Poon! Like literally just why?

Okay so first things first. This movie didn’t attract me by the cover or name. And had I watched sooner if i knew it was thai. I'm no new audience to thai entertainment, but thai movies are an exception. I just run after Hollywood horrors.

So when i saw Poon in the cast list 👀
I knew i had to give it a try!!
Cause? ........
Hell yeah bruhh your sis right here who just burned down the house while making a cake (almost) is a freaky sneaky .... ting ting ting.....
Guessed right ✅️ A BL FANNNNNNNNNN
so when i say i can watch all the movies with bl actors casted in them... I'm not kidding.

So yesterday I thought to give this movie a try cause I shot every other interesting looking horror on hotstar. And this one was free so ... why not?

Finally getting started with the review after my yapping (sorry 😔)

Okay so I watched this movie for Poon.
[Poon is a thai actor under gmmtv, a bl actor who worked in perfect 10. Liners with Perth and in my romance scammer with Ohm and in we are with Marc]
Yeah for the 3rd time 🙄 sorry
I watched it for him only to realize in the very few minutes that HE IS DEAD!!! Great 👍
Then i thought yeah he'd probably be the ghost sure why not.. right?...
Again! No!!
The only camera work and appearance he had was of his character named Mac with just the pictures!!!!.. atleast they shoud have shown the backstory. But then the story wasn’t even about him like not even the slightest. He was just there to distract the plot and build a disturbing plot hole.

So yeah this part was sad.
But anyways what's more unsettling to me is his character Mac had incest with his sister. If you don't know...just Google it like I did.
That was disturbing for me.
The main character who could be the savior, died. Like just died literally? In sleep? On the day before ceremony ?? Of all days?.
The acting of Mink was really good. I could genuinely feel the creepiness and jumpscares when she was on camera.
I'm looking forward to watching more of her works.
Noi's character had a good depth but left me messy . Maybe she was just too guilty.
Also Wiroj and his ancestral line?.. i don't get that part.
Like the story had so many links interlinked. The ancestral curse, the incest between siblings, the faith of Ba yan and also at the end it was like nothing? No godess just empty faith? So many spirits caught her without any purpose? The stroy was overall on faith and deeds. But i think instead of so many small confusing dots they could have chosen a single plot twist. Like Nim not actually dying and Ba yan's energy actually saving everyone. Or even without god they could have saved someone.
Everyone just died. Like that.
Also i couldn't understand why Manit's wife opened the door. Like the cameraman actually showed us her baby sleeping in the crib. Why'd she do that. Was that intentional or was she possessed?

Weird thing is ' the cameraman never dies '... didn't work here. The cameraman/men actually ended up dying. Like all of them...brutally.
I enjoyed it regardless of how little i could understand.
Ofcourse I'm no expert i just enjoy watching horror and bl.. so combined.. boom.
It was a good one for sure might watch it again with friends. The culture, faith, happening, quite similar to indian culture. Can relate.
Half way through the story and I was thinking to watch it with family or cousins. But then the cctv clip...AHEMm... Hell nah bruh. Glad i watched it alone.
But would surely watch it with my cousin sisters on some movie might.
Overall you can give it a try. Some might actually like it. But atleast give it a one time watch.

"I heard it through the grapevine (and I saw the photo too)."

Skillfully navigating the territory of workplace rom-coms, “Filing for Love” reveals its narrative maturity by gradually moving beyond the genre and its familiar simplifications to explore a far more complex reality: a working environment where surveillance, intrusion into private life, relentless competition, and the cult of productivity ultimately reshape even human relationships. Beneath its romantic dynamics and the inevitable conventions of the genre lies a surprisingly bitter reflection on contemporary loneliness, burnout, professional alienation, and the price many people are forced to pay when work ceases to be merely a part of life and becomes its absolute center.

Through Team 3, seemingly relegated to the margins of the corporate hierarchy and tasked with handling the company's most uncomfortable and embarrassing issues, “Filing for Love” constructs a remarkably meaningful microcosm. The investigations that shape the first half of the story portray an environment in which work invades every aspect of existence, gradually transforming Haemu into a kind of city-state where people live, love, betray, and suffer almost exclusively within its boundaries.

While the first half of “Filing for Love” seems primarily concerned with the more intimate implications of work—surveillance, workplace relationships, burnout, loneliness, and the struggle to balance professional and personal life—the second half gradually broadens its scope, evolving into something close to a corporate political drama. Succession battles, reputation management, media pressure, and corporate restructuring become the natural extension of a theme that had been present from the very beginning: the company as a totalizing system, capable of extending its influence far beyond the workplace and permeating every aspect of individual existence.

Another interesting aspect of “Filing for Love” lies in its decision to subvert one of the most established dynamics of Korean workplace rom-coms. While the genre has accustomed viewers to the powerful CEO and the subordinate employee, the series instead places a woman in a position of authority, with the men around her forced to navigate that reality. The drama, however, carefully avoids reducing this choice to a simple reversal of roles. Its real interest seems to lie in the dynamics generated by power itself, regardless of the gender of the person who holds it.
When a relationship develops within a hierarchical structure in which one person has the authority to transfer, promote, or dismiss the other, the central issue is not whether that person is a man or a woman, but the imbalance of power that inevitably emerges. It is within this delicate equilibrium that Joo In-ah takes shape as one of the most compelling and well-realized characters in the entire series.

Joo In-ah (played with remarkable depth by the excellent Shin Hae-sun) is arguably the most fascinating character in the entire series. From her very first appearance, she is presented as a feared figure within the Haemu Group: an uncompromising executive, obsessed with rules and seemingly devoid of empathy. Yet, episode after episode, “Filing for Love” patiently dismantles this initial perception. In-ah is neither a moralist nor a cynic in the traditional sense of the term; rather, she is a radically pragmatic woman, accustomed to viewing the world through the lens of consequences and responsibilities.

Behind the feared executive, however, emerges a deeply lonely woman who lives an almost ascetic existence, accepts being misunderstood in order to carry out her work according to her own principles, and has turned isolation into a form of self-preservation. It is no coincidence that one of the most revealing aspects of her character emerges through her relationship with art. The woman who spends her days hidden behind regulations, disciplinary procedures, and an intimidating reputation chooses to expose herself in the most vulnerable way possible by posing as a model for an art class.

It is precisely this tension between strength and fragility, control and the need for understanding, that makes Joo In-ah one of the drama's most compelling characters. Her journey is not about learning to be strong—she has always been strong—but about gradually lowering her defenses and allowing herself the possibility of finally being seen for who she truly is.

No Ki-joon (portrayed with considerable charm by Gong Myoung) initially embodies the archetype of the perfect employee: capable, well-liked, efficient, and seemingly destined for a successful career. The series, however, quickly dismantles this surface image by exposing the vulnerabilities hidden behind the company's so-called "golden boy." His transfer to Team 3 marks the beginning of a profound identity crisis. Ki-joon has built much of his self-worth on professional achievement and the recognition he receives within the company, to the point where he can no longer distinguish between what he does and who he is. Through his character, “Filing for Love” explores one of the most insidious consequences of performance-driven culture: the risk of reducing one's identity to a professional role and gradually losing any sense of self beyond it.

Unlike many male protagonists in the genre, Ki-joon is not defined by his social status or his ability to wield power over others. His journey is instead that of a person who gradually learns to look beyond appearances, abandoning hasty judgments and preconceived notions. It is this willingness to constantly question his own assumptions that ultimately becomes his most defining quality throughout the story.

Jae-yeol (Kim Jae-young, delivering a measured performance perfectly suited to the role) is arguably the most tragic character in the entire series. In a more conventional drama, he would have been the classic second male lead destined to stand in the way of the main couple. Filing For Love, however, takes a far more interesting approach, turning him into a deeply human and melancholic figure. Every aspect of his life seems marked by a different form of deprivation: a strained relationship with a father who never considers him good enough, his mother's illness, a marriage shaped more by strategic interests than genuine affection, A-jeong's unrequited love, and, above all, his unresolved bond with In-ah.

More than an antagonist, Jae-yeol comes across as a man trapped within expectations that others have created for him. Heir, son, husband, executive: every role is imposed upon him before he has the chance to choose it for himself. Even his relationship with In-ah seems to belong more to the realm of regret and unresolved memories than to any genuine possibility in the present. In this sense, the character comes to embody one of the drama's most bittersweet ideas: success, power, and privilege do not necessarily guarantee freedom. On the contrary, they can become a cage just as suffocating as any other.

His character arc is particularly effective because the drama gradually abandons the idea of using him merely as a source of romantic tension. As the story progresses, Jae-yeol ceases to be an obstacle between the protagonists and instead becomes a symbol of everything In-ah and Ki-joon are trying to avoid: a life shaped by duty, compromise, and resignation. His personal journey ultimately takes on the contours of a quiet tragedy, one that inspires far more compassion than hostility.

A special mention should also go to A-jeong (Hong Hwa Yeon), a character the series uses to explore yet another form of loneliness and inadequacy. Ki-joon's former girlfriend and hopelessly in love with Jae-yeol, she lives constantly in the shadow of relationships that never achieve true reciprocity. Her desire to be seen and acknowledged is further complicated by a clear sense of inferiority toward In-ah, whom she perceives as unattainable both professionally and romantically. More than an antagonist, A-jeong remains the portrait of a person desperately searching for attention and belonging, enriching the broader mosaic of emotional fragility that runs throughout the series.

Through its protagonists, the series finds its most authentic voice. Beneath the romantic dynamics and the inevitable conventions of the genre, “Filing for Love” ultimately reveals itself as a story about individuals searching for a place to belong: Ki-joon seeks recognition and validation, In-ah a sense of peace that always seems just out of reach, Jae-yeol a form of legitimacy beyond the role imposed upon him by his family, and A-jeong a love that might finally be returned. Even its lightest and most entertaining moments rest upon a surprisingly bitter reality shaped by burnout, social pressure, isolation, and professional identities that gradually come to overshadow personal ones.

One of Filing for Love's greatest strengths lies in the way it develops the relationship between its two protagonists. Their romance is not born from immediate attraction or romantic destiny, but from a gradual process of mutual understanding and the slow abandonment of preconceived judgments. In the early episodes, Ki-joon sees In-ah much as everyone else at Haemu does: as a cold, uncompromising, and almost inhuman woman. His initial investigation into her affairs is driven by a desire to expose her, to find proof that something darker lies behind that carefully controlled façade. Yet the closer he gets to her, the more he discovers the exact opposite: a deeply lonely person, willing to endure the misunderstanding and resentment of others in order to do what she believes is right.

The drama charts this transformation through a series of subtle shifts in perspective. At first, Ki-joon watches In-ah in order to expose her; later, he watches her in order to understand her; eventually, he watches her because he is drawn to her.
Viewed in this light, the portrait Ki-joon creates carries far greater significance than the first kiss or any of the drama's more overtly romantic moments. If the paper clip symbolizes the birth of complicity, the portrait marks the birth of love.

For the first time, Ki-joon does not merely desire In-ah—he truly sees her, offering her a reflection of herself freed from the defenses behind which she has hidden for years. This is not a story of conquest, but one of mutual recognition: the story of a woman who has learned to live behind a suit of armor and a man who, little by little, stops looking at the armor and finally begins to see the person beneath it.

In this sense, “Filing for Love” is not truly a workplace rom-com, but a series about loneliness that uses the rom-com format as its narrative vehicle. Love is not presented as the culmination of one's existence or as a simple romantic reward, but rather as the possibility of escaping, if only for a moment, the structural loneliness generated by a system that measures a person's worth almost exclusively through productivity.

Just as the series seems to have fully embraced its most distinctive identity, some of its limitations begin to emerge. The ambition that expands the narrative from the microcosm of Team 3 to the internal power struggles of the Haemu Group enriches the story, but also accumulates a number of conflicts and subplots that the finale struggles to handle with the same care displayed earlier on. A certain repetitiveness in some of the investigative storylines, along with a few more conventional romantic detours, foreshadows a conclusion that resolves several of its most compelling tensions a little too quickly. More than the resolutions themselves, what leaves some room for reservation is the limited attention given to their aftermath.

Without reaching the excellence of the very best Korean workplace rom-coms, and despite a finale that simplifies and accelerates many of the tensions carefully built up along the way, “Filing for Love” remains a series that stands out for its thematic maturity, the quality of its character writing, and its ability to use romance as a vehicle for exploring something broader and more universal. It does not always fulfill every promise it makes throughout its journey, yet its reflection on contemporary loneliness, professional identity, and the need for belonging retains a sincerity that is rare within the genre. The journey does not always lead to the most satisfying destinations, but it remains far more interesting than most of the paths offered by traditional workplace rom-coms.

Dazzling is Speed and Love Lite

Dazzling is Speed and Love Lite, and I have to say, I am extremely disappointed. Chinese writers seem to have a strange obsession with family dating plots, and this show is no exception. It's just plain weird to see the main leads, who are family even though not blood related, have romantic feelings for each other.

The storyline is completely unrealistic when it comes to relationships. We're expected to believe that the male lead has stronger feelings for a woman he's known for just a month, over the second female lead who he's known for 2 years. It just doesn't make sense. Same goes for Female lead blue ticking the guy she known for years for a guy she known for month

And don't even get me started on the jealousy subplot in episodes 10 and 11. The male lead's behavior was cringey and embarrassing when he interrupted the female lead's reunion with her friend from Beijing. It felt like a humiliation ritual rather than a romantic gesture.

The male lead's savior complex is also frustrating to watch. He's still a kid and shouldn't be shouldering the responsibility of taking care of his whole family his mother should take some burdens off him.

Overall, "Dazzling is Speed and Love lite" is not my kind of drama. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a believable and engaging storyline.

if it wasn't for the acting talent

oh boy, we waited over a year for a show with tons of promise and a hell of a cast. the novel was meh... but they often are. then the show was nothing like the novel and less than meh.
i would have dropped it if it wasn't for the amazing acting.
the story was inconsistent: was Bambi a brat, selfish, traumatized, confused...? well yes, depending on which episode you watched. Min had occasional amnesia and a case of character assassination. you can't leave an abusive relationship just to expect a yes woman as your next partner. if only Mim's character had a story and some backbone there could have been so much to their storyline. I'll never get over the whiplash the transition from ep 8 to 9 gave me when it comes to ShashaGorya. but Shasha has the best story out of all the characters.
PLEASE can someone let GMMTV and their partners know that audio quality is important?! I don't wanna hear blown out voices and yelling or the crinkling of someone's shirt.
The amazing dramatic scenes (Shasha adressing abuse or Bambi's breakdown) never amounted to anything and got wiped away immediately, sometimes within seconds.
you can tell they switched the writing team around halfway.

all the actors were phenomenal. some of the intimate scenes, when not just implied, were well done, others not so much cause the camera angle was off (looking you, at hand under shirt while on vacation)

I'm grateful to have this but the entire production team needs upskilling and to never touch gl again. harsh I know

but no one can say that the girls didn't give their all. many friendships formed due to this series. let's celebrate that

Comic relief with great chemistry bwteen taynew

Watch it and you will find yourself laughing and gushing over taynew's chemistry after a long tiring day!
The music score, the background effects, the pace of the story is just perfect!
Newwiee's elegance and attitude to play Kanit, who is a flight attended, meets your eyes and Tawan's nonchalance and rowdy aura as Toto shows the moment he appears on the screen! Taynew's chemistry is the reason why their fans stick with them even after 10 years into the BL industry. And the role they play in this as TotoKanit shows how talented they are indeed. It's been just the first episode and you can already see who well they have acted.
Mond, Ryu, Tui, Oab and Kapook are also playing their part to perfection!
Other than great acting, the story is also the reason why one should go for this show. The love between two people from different economic class can be cliché but what makes this story special is that how a super elegant and materialistic man like Kanit falls for someone who unapologetically bears a crude persona (toto).
There are plenty of other sweet things kept by director (P'Jojo) which probably the fans will be able to relate!

So yeah, go and give it a watch. You will only want more of it!
