Saying that is in anyway related to Tonhon Chonlatee is criminal. Let’s leave aside the fact that the cast is completely different (makes sense, they were done by different companies), but the story doesn’t even fit with it. I am not familiar with the novels the two series were based off, but seeing the novels were done by the same author, I would have expected at least some consistency when it came to the plot.

Let’s start with the good first. I love the relationship between Sippakorn (Ai’s father) and his partner Nan. Nan didn’t get that much screen time, but I feel like whenever he was present, he stole the show. I loved his character. And the fact that the actors who play them, Porsch and Arm, are real life partners is amazing! They didn’t need much more than a simple look to see their love and I was there for it!

Another great part of the series was Nhai’s friend group. They are all aware that their friend is not very bright and extremely whiny, but they accept him for who is. And they are not afraid to tell him that when the chance presents itself (e.g. the reason for the ducky keychain).

Now, the not so great part – Nhai. As I mentioned before, he is kind of dumb and whiny, to the point of it being extremely annoying. I don’t even know how I sat through all 12 episodes of it, but I did. Only for there to be absolutely no character growth for him. I found the conversations others had with him boring and with no meaning. The subtitles were horrible as well, so I am sure certain things got lost in the translation, but I doubt the dialogue was actually much better. The only redeeming act of his that I can think of is how he delt with Ai’s mom. That’s it.

Ai can be a brat, but he is a brat that knows how to take care of himself. And his boyfriend. I found him much easier to tolerate. I think there was much more thought put into creating his character. His backstory showed his character growth as well, which was great to see.

Oh, one more thing that I liked was that no matter how annoying Nhai is, at least he knows how to communicate – we don’t see that very often, so it was really refreshing to see. Do you know how many conflicts can be avoided by just talking about it?

As for the plot, was there even one? I feel like there was no real plot, yet there were so many plot holes in the end, that I don’t even know where we got them from. I also feel like the story was unnecessary long and dragged out – and that is coming from a person who usually complains that the series are too short. I feel like if they only focused on Ai and Nhai getting together, made it a cute and short series with like 6 episodes, it would be much better.
