The Feel-Good Part   

Several cute and cuddly moments fill up this drama like most other ones. Accompanied by misunderstandings, quarrels and make-ups, it captures the journey of their relationships.

The Disappointing Factor

The story is jerry-built, and due to too many plot points working together, it’s hard to keep track of what’s happening. Moreover, too many characters make it difficult to grapple with numerous threads in their stories. Midway it feels like fillers drag the drama into eight episodes. Even though the direction has potential, it fails to grasp the essence lurking between the characters. It creates enough void to make it seem too long.

In-Depth Analysis

A strong and distinct plot line can give an image to the meaning and open threads of discussion between the spaces. The drama does the exact opposite of that. Due to a tangled, unnecessarily inclusion of characters and situations, it creates a mess. Going above love triangles, it includes love polygons, which might be a part of the experiment, but even then, it’s unexpressed. There is no hint of any character development instead they are multiplied, and the viewers are supposed to grasp the reason behind their actions, which is nothing but assumptions. Every time these characters are made to meet someone, their emotions come to play as if they don’t have a hold on themselves. It makes the drama look less realistic. One example of this created ruckus is Nont, who is always put in the wrong place and time, even though he is much more deserving. The writer makes him miss his chances as a trope to lengthen the drama. Including Ice and Sean in the story of King, Peat, Ice, and Sean seemed irrelevant. The reduction of characters and focus on the storyline might have made the plot more engaging.

Star Power

The engaging tone of the OST hits the right chords and deserves hearty applause. Moreover, the cinematography of the drama makes it appealing and sets the tone of aestheticism, therefore not degrading it. Pan Norawit Bowonsantisut’s acting as Nont was apt.

Overall Opinion

The drama carries fewer reasons for rewatching and is too tangled to seize longer attention. Nevertheless, it always depends upon the viewer.
