Promising take on ‘soulmates’, cringey execution
The whole soulmate / destiny thing is horribly cliched unless the plot is properly thought through and executed.
I couldn't get myself to like Saengtai and Patt either. Saengtai is a petulant, somewhat unreasonable individual, and always in need of rescuing. His fight with Patt was a product of his poor decisions and even poorer communication, exposing the fragility of any relationship built on “destiny”. Also, their relationship was really cringey.
The side couple, Tian and Lomfon, turned out to be more interesting and in my opinion, more compatible than the main couple. Their conclusion is not one that’s unexpected, but the writing could have been a lot smoother.
Verdict: What was this? The plot had potential but the execution was just awful.
