Drama Digest
Because of his personal trauma, live streamer Kevin loves the challenge of ghost hunting. He had no idea that when he moved in with his family in Thailand, he would end up sharing a house with those ghosts that were being sought for. He encounters Pluem, a young man who appears to comprehend his grief, as well. Together, the two must face a reality that is too painful to accept.
The Feel-Good Part
This has some pros, such as the fact that the author obviously has sufficient life experience to develop characters who behave realistically. The plot doesn’t rely on clichés or unintentional kisses; rather, it basically involves two people who are attracted to each other.
The Disappointing Factor
The storyline holes and the general lack of enthusiasm for things are the two biggest flaws. Because nothing made an impression strongly enough to recall it, as in the conclusion when they show their coke-can tabs, they really never had much of an understanding of what was happening. Kevin has a past relationship that is significant in some way but is never explained. How could Kevin not be aware of the situation with his aunt’s family, too? His mother would surely be aware of the reality. Or wouldn’t he have to tell her if it wasn’t? Most importantly, none of this has anything to do with the show’s idea, which is ultimately just a “schtick” rather than a basis.
In-Depth Analysis
The author, however, has any sense of dramatic plotting or rhythm. The premise actually doesn’t serve much of a purpose because it doesn’t matter all that much to the plot and has nothing to do with how things turn out in the end. There is a mystery at the start of the play that could have been developed and made more horrifying, but instead it is revealed almost right away and is primarily played for laughs. The plot also relies on a three-year time leap during which the main couple is separated. What? why not Pluem’s new work would undoubtedly pay enough for him to go, and Kevin has the means to fly back and forth from the US. Why did Kevin even return home? It’s not like he can’t live stream from wherever; that’s all he does.
Star Power
You can tell there is chemistry between Boy and Tod, but it never truly materializes. In fact, the entire series had the impression that its writers were forced to be too restrained because they were ashamed of their own emotions. The cast has demonstrated their talent as actors. Pleum is convincing in his sorrow and comes across as a real person most of the time; I’ll explain later. Kawin feels quite genuine, a little obstinate but yet reasonable. He has a crush on Pleum from the get-go, and their chemistry throughout their passionate exchanges is excellent. But for me, See-foon steals the show. He is exceptional, even though the entire cast has good comedic timing. As twins, See-nam and See-foon seem like they would get along well. The entire family is realistic as a unit and is harmonious.
Overall Opinion
In overall, this story has a lot more potential than it does. It was founded on the idea that it had to be entertaining. The production team, however, decided to make it into another dull, forgettable series with excellent cinematography. An original and intriguing plot, passable but erratic performances, memorable and excellent music, and nice humor. It’s not a bad program, but it’s more of a casual watch than a show that you will binge with focus and remember for the rest of your life. Stronger than the primary characters are the supporting ones. Not a waste of time, but missing it also wouldn’t be a terrible loss.
