The Cupids Series: Kamathep Online (2017)

Another time - being the first one to review (come on, we need to work harder!)

This is the third pars in the Cupid Series, all about 8 young women and the order they've all got from their boss: to get a boyfriend within a year! Turns out to be easier said then done. Each and every girl here has a reason why they are still single, and they will have to overcome those.
In case anyone's following the chronology, it's this:
Part 1 : Kammathep Hunsa
Part 2 : Kammathep Ork Suek
Part 3 : Kammathep Online
Part 4 : Loob Kom Kammathep
Part 5 : Sorn Ruk Kammathep
Part 6 : Kammathep Sorn Kol
Part 7 : Kammathep Jum Laeng
Part 8 : Kamathep Prab Marn

This part is giving us the lecture in finding love without losing focus on what really matters. The Show is about falling in love without seeing the other side's physical presence, accepting their true selves, buck-teeth and everything.
WHY I LIKED IT?
Slow, step-by-step opening up to the world around her, seeing everything thru the eyes of someone who still harbors bad memories of being Ugly Duckling - that is the story of our FL. As we watch it unfold, we learn that some people appear distant because they fear to get close. We also learn that some appear tough because they fear being weak again. And it's all about connecting with others, to help ourselves get up and move on.
Secondary story. I liked it; i knew I would like it the first second they appeared on the screen - there's just something "not told" behind the Termite Face and Tomcat, and I was quite satisfied with what I've been shown. Layers upon layers of things untold, that made sense in the end.
Needless to say: OTP smiling at each-other. Rarely do you get the depth of romance by just focusing on couple's faces as they look upon one another. I liked how the show handled it.
Background sounds! Again: thumbs up to production team, those noises and animal sounds were delightful.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
Crazy is TOO crazy! I've been working on a deadline, under pressure, long hours in front of the screen just to see a project fail horribly; I have seen a lot of people handle loss badly, but I have never every seen such "arrrrghhhhh" coming from someone using keyboard for living. That was my first.. and I didn't like the sight.
Cindy and the entire screen-time she took. However, this could be due to my cultural disharmony, people.. but I do not find that character ether funny of helping the story line in any way. I do feel sorry for the girl, actually. Poor thing always chooses the unavailable men.
THE MUSIC
There's a main theme, playful and light. Listening to it for the duration of the series, it gets catchy.
RE-WATCH VALUE
With some serious jumps (because I don't want to see that much "crazy" again), there are some lovely parts to come back to (bare male upper bodies, anyone?). But, entirely: not really.
OVERALL
There's no R warring, no cringe-worthy scenes, no face-palming yourself. and as a bonus, you get to see ML being genuinely nice guy. Give it a go.
