Either the best thing ever or the most mediocre story ever. I can't decide.
This is either the best drama I have ever seen or one of the most mediocre, and I can't decide which. That's why I just split the difference between a ten or a five because I don't know if this was cautionary tale about the trials of picking the wrong person or a mediocre romance with disgusting elements thrown in.
The good: Yae, Khing, and Chiaw absolutely give me life and should be protected at all costs. They are all amazing characters and their acting was top notch.
The bad: The three named characters above have the least screen time in favor of the two actual leads Win and Fang. I hate both of these characters for different reasons, but I hate Win the most because he is the epitome of a bad choice in a good wrapping. He is cute, and at first glance, romantic, but he actually puts Fang in horrible positions and never really has a good reason for why he pursues her. He becomes noticeably horrible later in the series, but I hated him from the very beginning. Fang on the other hand is the epitome of innocence to a fault. She allows people to take advantage of her (and no I'm not talking about that DISGUSTING storyline thrown in at the end of the drama), never speaks up for herself, and is as interesting as watching paint dry. She has this most annoying habit of LONG pregnant pauses every time someone asks her a question, and it just made me frustrated the entire time she was on the screen.
If this drama is a cautionary tale, it was amazing because they seed from the beginning the cracks in the main leads' relationship.
If it is a mediocre romance, it was not very well done at all. Watch it for the three characters above, especially Yae. His storyline was amazing and honestly would have been a stronger drama on its own.
