I see a lot of people reviewing this drama poorly, so I wanted to share my two cents.
SUMMARY:
The drama tells the story of Sarawat and Tine. Tine wants to get rid of a boy who's chasing after him so him and his friends decide that he'll get the most popular, mysterious boy at school (Sarawat) to pretend to be his boyfriend. Sarawat agrees to help him and they end up falling in love. With a twist; What Tine doesn't know, is that Sarawat actually fell for Tine at first sight at a concert a few years ago.
REVIEW:
I really loved this series as a whole. The tone of this story is very sweet and funny. The actors did an amazing job. The music plays a big role in this and I really loved the soundtrack as well as the original songs by the actors. The editing is a bit choppy, which sometimes takes away from the emotional impact a scene can have. The writing itself could have been better.
I am a little sad we didn't get more intimacy. I'm not talking kisses, but seeing them being boyfriends, eating together, holding hands, listening to music, going on a date maybe? or something in that regard. High fives are fine, just maybe not after you cried over your boyfriend and moved out your stuff? The grand gesture of the song was wonderful though, I just think this series started off really strong and therefor people's expectations only got higher. But that doesn't mean it was bad.
Like everyone else I was a bit disappointed the last two episodes were spent on a rushed "hurdle" for our main couple because after the stargazing scene in episode 11 I don't think there was any reason for Tine to doubt Sarawat's love. It might have been a better fit to make the Pam arc and the "your smile" song arc in the same episode. Then the stargazing scene would have been the finale.
What also could have worked is seeing more of Sarawat's perspective. Like I get that Tine doubting him could really weigh on him and that might have been an interesting hurdle for them if they really wanted to create one. I guess in the end, the story itself has some plot holes and near the end Sarawat acted a bit out of character (not going to see Tine in the hospital ? Turning away to sleep while Tine's upset in bed? Episode 11 Sarawat would never.) purely for ~drama.
All in all, I enjoyed this series a lot. Bright and Win did so well. I'm really happy they were Sarawat and Tine and I can't wait to see what they do next. I will definitely rewatch this and will always remember it fondly.
