It's not a bad watch at all, it's just not a good show
So the thing is, the main problem is that they should have chosen between 2 plots : either Ton loved Chon from the beginning, his father made them move because he feared he couldn't get an heir and then they reuinite and deal with the heir problem ( basic and easy choice ). Or, Ton didn't love Chon before, he has internalised homophobia and has a hard time dealing with his new feelings for Chon; in which case the show could have focused on him reflecting on his behaviour and opinions as well as escaping from his father's expectations ( much more difficult to pull off). But by blending those 2, it was such a mess. What do you mean he's loved him since the beginning?? He dissed gay people so hard it was painful it doesn't make sense, that's a bad portrayal of denial.
Other bad thing in the show is the whole character of Amp, and the banalised rape !!! P'Neung has been abused and goes on to do the same to Chon, apart from the fact that I hate those plot, this shouldn't be brushed off like they did !
At last for the negative points, the surrogacy plot was indeed a solution for a happy ending and I'm glad it was introduced, I'm also glad they choose Miriam but it's just too big of a thing to fit it in the last 2mins. It should have been introduced sooner and explored much more. They also shouldn't have shown the 3 years gap cause ain't no way they are ready to be parents it's so unrealistic. Just showing a scene where they ( Ton and Chon not his dad ) ask Miriam would have been great.
On to the good things : the characters
There are some really good characters in this show, starting with Chon and his mom. They are coherent, they have values and they stick to their words and beliefs, I really enjoyed that.
Miriam and Pang : they are amazing friend and I'm really happy Gmmtv showed good written female characters.
Na : He's part was rushed but his character was really interesting, maybe with a 12ep show we would have seen more of him and his struggle.
Overall I definitely didn't watch it for the love story but I did laugh several times and really appreciated Chon and Pang's friendship as well as Aunt Nam.
