FULL DISCLAIMER:
Okay, first of all people need to know that this is a remake based
on Zhao Qian Qian’s novel which is also clearly stated in the
opening sequence so don’t come watching this thinking it’s gonna be
a copy and past version of the Chinese drama. I’ve not read the
novel so have no idea how close the drama is. My advise would be to
lower your expectations, better still have none and don’t compare
cos you will most likely be disappointed.
Secondly, whilst I did try the Chinese version I dropped it after
one episode so I was kinda happy when I found out that there would
be a Thai version especially one that’s not yet another Korean
drama. I do love Thailand for remaking as many Korean dramas as
they have but honestly, it’s so darn refreshing that they went with
China.
As always, starting with the negatives which for me were the second
leads. I tend not to like them if I’m being quite honest and this
was no different. I found them both annoying until I didn’t anymore
but I also didn’t like Pai’s so called friend Wawa. I found her to
be selfish and her scenes always consisted of her moaning which
resulted in my skipping most of her scenes unless she was with Pai
or Pupaa.
STORY
This is pretty much the usual Cookie Cutter school love story for
me, I’m not much of a School drama fan. Nothing really new to bring
to the table but I guess for me, I found the fluff of it all
refreshing….explained in my final thoughts. Also, whilst I did love
the fact that the drama wasn’t just about the romance, I would’ve
loved to get more light on the friendship between Ta and Pupaa. One
thing I didn’t really like is how Pai always needed someone to come
and solve her problems for her. Whilst the drama is made from China
origin, I loved how they still managed to incorporate some Thai
stuff into it to make it feel a bit more Thai. My favourite parts
of the drama were definitely the Special Scenes.
ACTING/CAST
The acting isn’t anything groundbreaking but considering the
actress playing Pai is a newbie, I personally think she did rather
well. I enjoyed the main couple the most and what little friendship
was used, I thought they had nice chemistry and fitted the
characters well.
MUSIC
I only noticed the opening song which I loved. Oh and the lyric
free background music.
REWATCH VALUE
For me, yes because I’ve probably enjoyed it more than I ever
imagined I would.
I’m not usually into the overly fluffy romcoms but as far as Thai
productions go, this is possibly the fluffiest I’ve ever seen which
is a huge deal for me as most Thai I watch tend to come from
Channels 3, 7 and One31 so you know there is a big difference. I
didn’t feel out of my comfort zone which is strange as I previously
mentioned, I’m not a fan of fluff or school and some scenes you
could tell were a bit too cringey but somehow I didn’t cringe as
much as I normally would from other countries. It’s been a nice
experience watching a drama without fear of someone getting
kidnapped, assaulted or stalked by some killer. This is a true
romcom and I wish more were like this - danger free!
Not the Chinese version remake, light hearted,
watchablele
Finished all the episodes today. It was a feel good, light, rom
com. Touches thai culture as well, but it feels rushed.
Things are rushed at the end, honestly they could have cancelled on
the other unnecessary stuff like the time angle or the ta
angle.
Also in ep 19-20 it suddenly feels that Dr. Gu Wei Yi became so
important that the ending also didn't have the leads alone.
It could have been better but nevertheless it is a good watch
The show is light hearted, has no breakups, no problematic leads,
also touches on thai aspects. Overall you can watch, BUT
Don't compare to the Chinese version, because it is different and
new, also the leads are good, especially the FL.
