Uhm Wow
The acting of the two main character's and their relationship was wonderful and complex (and I was also very happy to see Prem again as See-Eiw's older brother). Their relationship played with my heart in almost every way and though it wasn't flawless, I guess not many things are. Cake receiving blessings for his relationship with See-Eiw from the family was so meaningful to me, as it was very natural and warmly delivered. However, major flaws include the main character's sister falling in love with a fifteen year old - this was framed as though she was the victim of societal bullying when really she's actually a creep. Why her friend framed their 'relationship' the way it is truly baffles me and sometimes it was too hard to watch the director make this seem as if she was the victim of this situation - she was right to stay away from a high schooler and to make an entire plot about her being torn up about it just made me severely uncomfortable. Otherwise, the only other thing this show suffered from was a bit of slow pacing in the beginning as well as the end being a full no smoking commercial. See-Eiw's father's addiction was treated poorly, as if it wasn't an addiction and I think that this topic as well as the sister's relationship should have been treated much more delicately due to their sensitive nature. Rating this is complicated, and even though my rating doesn't seem to reflect it, I did enjoy watching this show, though sometimes hard to watch or slow, in the end I don't regret it.
