The Sweetest Ride Ever!

I have never been a fan of Romantic Comedies. Sugary. Treacly. Syrupy. No thank you. But every now and again one comes along and charms the heck out of you - and this is one of them. The set up is simple - Mork (a motorcycle taxi driver and one of the sweetest guys on Planet Earth) is dumped by his girlfriend when she latches onto "someone better". Pretty soon he meets Tawan, something lights up in both of them, and off we go.

Now we know they are made for each other from the word go but, of course, they don't, so we just have to take the ride to the land of true love with them, but this is where things take an unexpected turn. Along the way we meet some of the best supporting characters you'll ever come across - from Mork's trio of motorcycle buddies, to the hospital staff (especially Doctors Toy and Boss), to the baristas at the local coffee house...and when we meet Mork's uncles - Uncle Cheep and Uncle Dej - it's game over! Cheep and Dej will probably remain my favourite side couple forever. They bicker, they harangue each other, they support their Mork but, most of all, their love for each other is almost palpable. Best! Couple! Ever!

As for the series villains - what can I say? There's Tawan's idiotic first boyfriend who wants to have his cake and eat it too (what Tawan see in him, I'll never know), and the aforementioned girlfriend (there's an attempt of a redemption arc in the finale, but I don't think anyone's buying 'cause she's beyond redemption). The villains are annoying, but there is too much sugar here to be seriously bothered by these few drops of bitterness.

Recommendation? Yup. It doesn't break new ground, but it will charm the pants off of you, and if the kiss on the mountainside in the final episode doesn't take your breath away, then you need help. Ahhh, what a sweet ride.
