Just Pretend That This Drama Don't Exist
Rather than detailing what went wrong with this drama, it’s quicker to list what went right. Don’t worry, it won’t take long.
Summer. A time for love, sunshine, and short romantic stories set in picturesque resorts, right? Clear blue water, stunning beaches—an ideal backdrop for a sweet summer fling. And what’s better than having fan-favorites Boun and Prem as leads, playing a debt collector and a resort owner? Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
Spoiler alert: It’s not.
There are six episodes, each clocking in at 43 minutes. But here's the catch—only about 25 minutes of that is actual content. The rest? A delightful assortment of full-length intros, outro songs, summaries of previous episodes (just in case your short-term memory is non-existent), and behind-the-scenes bits that, quite frankly, are funnier than the drama itself. But, hey, at least the intro song is catchy! You might even find yourself humming it long after you've forgotten the plot.
Now, if you’re hoping for more positive highlights, buckle up because we’re done. Why, you ask? Well, because this show shares the same screenwriter as That's My Candy, which should tell you all you need to know about the quality of the plot. The story is a mess, with four couples jammed into six episodes. That’s right—four couples, but not nearly enough time to develop even one. The plot progression is like a jigsaw puzzle where half the pieces are missing, and the ones that do fit somehow don’t form a complete picture.
The last episode? A surprising gem. If the rest of the show had been even remotely like the finale, it could’ve been a decent, maybe even charming, summer drama. We get a happy ending, sure, but only after we’ve skipped from point A to point D, leaving points B and C to fend for themselves. The character development you were looking for? It got lost somewhere between the intro song and the BTS clips.
The script, the storytelling, the editing—oh, where do we even begin? Let’s just say, if I handed the basic plot outline to a group of middle schoolers, I’m confident they’d come up with something better. Honestly, it’s as if the "professionals" responsible for this got together and decided to collectively wing it.
I scored this drama a generous 5.5, and that’s purely out of sympathy for the actors. Boun, Prem, and the rest of the cast worked their hearts out, only to end up in this misfire of a show. The best thing you can do? Pretend it doesn’t exist. Let’s all agree to hum the intro song and move on with our lives.
