This started of really promising but unfortunately somewhere in episode 6 I stopped liking Daonuea and from then on, even though they finally got together and had some cute moments, I couldn’t enjoy them at all. Every time Dao spoke, I would just roll my eyes or cringe. This wasn’t at all helped by the actor’s awkward performance, I get it’s his first role, but overall Dunk delivered a very weak performance here. Joong’s facial acting was on point but he needs to work on line delivery. The lines (for both the actors) sounded very rehearsed :( It might just be a bad script, but the actors certainly didn’t make it better.

Also, Audio issues for Joong! He spoke very quietly, probably directed to do so because his character is rather stoic, but it’s hard to hear sometimes and the audio processing is weird. Sometimes they even dub over his lines (very obviously) and it just sounds weird and bad (getting flashbacks to the dubbing nightmare that was My Engineer).

This drama also suffered from the classic GMMTV infomercial-sounding-ass background music and annoying sound effects that I wish they would stop using in every single freaking drama they produce but oh well.

Story was very lackluster, it didn’t hit any of the emotional beats right, nothing here made me FEEL anything! I never felt any romantic chemistry between the two leads, so when they got together it was really awkward. ALSO: Non-con kiss while sleeping!! WHY!! And it was framed as funny? Romantic? STOP. I thought we were over this shit.

In conclusion: it had a lot of potential but ultimately fumbled the bag and ended up being quite disappointing. GMMTV really needs to step up their game.

P.S. Sean and Maitee had better chemistry than the main couple, I said what I said! we were ROBBED!
