shines with nostalgia, not so much romance
this show was made for mid-twenty thai adults. i am very much not thai so i feel like a lot of the nostalgia - that this show just oozes with - didn't hit me the way it would hit a thai person. I believe it would make this show really special.
the production itself was really good. the quality of the camerawork and color grading in of itself was great and suited the show. though a lot of scenes and storylines felt draggy and pointless. then again: i feel like a lot of meaning got lost since i couldn't enjoy and bask in the scenes for the nostalgia. that being said, it's clearly a slice of life drama. it's simply the story of a friend group growing up with the fast advances of technology and navigating their relationships through it. but honestly, i'm glad they had Em narrate the "lesson" at the end because my one braincell really didn't get the point until then.
hm, well the acting. let's say it's questionable. i didn't like ANY of the chemisty. i didn't like FirstJa's chemi in Don't Say No either, which is why i dropped that show, but apart from them, everyone seemed uncomfortable and kind of just said their lines. it felt very unnatural. don't know it that's the actors fault of the direction though.
the show didn't excite me, which is sad. i really wanted to like it, since it had "comfort show" potential. but in the end, all i can say is that i definitely watched a show with actors in it lol. and if anyone is reading this: it's not a bad show - just know it's heavy on nostalgia and one single sound track.
