The trailer looked cute, so I decided to give it a go. There were certain plot twists that I didn’t expect, but I also didn’t hate. I was not sure how the whole “being in love with an influencer” thing would go, especially as it came across as an unhealthy obsession at times. But they handled it well, they gave it reasoning. I liked how it was less about Tammy as an influencer, but more about Tammy as a person.

I know that there were a quite a few unrealistically done things (e.g. they way Yang was fining a partner for the store), but I didn’t let that bother me too much. They simply played well into the plot. The comedic value in the earlier episodes is something I really enjoyed, especially the bickering between Yang and Phumjai, and Phumjai having two (in his eyes) unreliable best friends. I do feel like the comedic aspect of the series kind of faded out as the series progressed though.

Yang & Phumjai: I loved their dynamics! They started as enemies, became friends and then lovers. They really took us on a whole ride. Yang seems to be a lot more mature, but also closed off and not as ready to open up to others. Phumjai is more childish, he lives in the moment and is generally a bit ray of sunshine. He does seem a bit spoiled at times, but that’s more on his family than him. They are both quite stubborn though. I really liked how patient Yang was with Phumjai most of the time, how he put his happiness first. And I liked the way Phumjai didn’t hold back once he became aware of his feelings. He is true to himself. I think both actors, Daou and Offroad, did well. I liked how their characters looked at each other. Their chemistry was good too.

Phojai & Tag: I like that we had an already established couple, but the two made me mostly confused. They were super adorable together; they were the cute couple permanently stuck in their honeymoon phase. But they were keeping their relationship a secret, and I don’t fully understand why. Everyone around them was very accepting, and Tag made it obvious that he hates being Phojai’s dirty little secret. He was hurting, a lot. I could understand being worried about Phumjai getting upset about his brother dating his best friend, but I don’t think “Phumjai is dealing with a lot right now” is a good enough reason for keeping their relationship hidden. Ngern and Ohm had chemistry, but I think it got a bit lost under their characters just being cute together.

I really liked both Phumjai’s friend group and the shop’s team. They had nice dynamics, were supportive of one another and made it obvious how close they were. Even Tammy. She was a much more developed character than I thought at first. I like that she wasn’t made into a villain.

Talking about villains, what the hell were the last two episodes on? That was so unnecessary, it didn’t bring anything to the table and was so over the top. The way they tried to solve it all made absolutely no sense. It was a mess. There was some other… interesting plot choices. I am not sure what Phojai does for a work or if he even works at all towards the end. He is always at the store, can disappear for who knows how many days.

All in all, it started of good but it ended going a bit downhill towards the end. Which seems to be happening to a lot of series lately. And it’s also what brought my rating lower.
