Story -9.5/10
The story was founded on the premise of Eve ( the female lead) having the ability to see her future through her dreams, so somehow I am not surprised at how fast the love angle between her and Pun (the male lead) was developed. The chemistry between them was cute and their interactions were sweet, cute and not forced. I find it amazing how the writer was able to inject something that will help us understand about Thailand... their way of life, culture and regulations without drifting from the main theme of the drama. I thought everything was a giveaway but to my surprise.... the subtle twist was a warm welcome.
Acting 9.5/10
All the scenes were greatly executed and it came as a surprise to me how good Ice Nattarat acted out the drama scenes considering that he is barely new. He was good and very convincing in the crying scene... it all came so natural.... and Ice Preechaya... what can I say???? I love her so much. And the supporting casts, they were all so funny and good.
Music 9/5/10
The music was also good especially at the ending scene.... I love the lyrics too... perfectly suits the drama
Rewatch Value -10/10
I can watch the drama especially the last episode over and over again. It never fails to give me that warm satisfying feeling no matter how many times I have rewatch this.

Premonitions aren't so simple
The romance build-up is typical and at the same time atypical compared to what we watch in Thai productions. They were meant to meet according to Eve's premonitions, and although the realisation of her "love" dreams was not linear as she experienced in other areas of her life, the end result remained the same. While their relationship didn't really move me, I appreciated the change in both of them as they came into contact with each other.What makes this mini-series memorable is that it shows another image of Thailand, one that deals with its own minorities, these hill tribes whose part of the population is still "stateless". It shows the difference in status between city and country folks, the language barrier, the labour laws, the importance given to social success, what is considered a priority depending on where one comes from and the conception of love.
It's for these kinds of dramas that I miss companies like GDH or Nadao Bangkok that not only entertain us, but also introduce stories that emphasize the human dimension.

Short, Beautiful, and Heartwarming - 2 well spent hours
Simply amazing. We need these kinds of cute, beautiful, heartwarming, short dramas. Most Thai dramas are all about slap-kiss, BL, revenge, or some other cliche type of story. This drama was a breath of fresh air among those dramas.I was watching a few lakorns, and suddenly found this. Only 6 episodes, 25 minutes per episode. If you skip the intro and ending credits, then only 20 minutes. So in total about 120 minutes. And I must say, it was well spent 120 minutes for sure.
Story: A short and cute story. There were some climax moments, but nothing too big. Overall, a very lighthearted story. As the drama was short, the story was straightforward. There was no extra time spent on anything, and I like this aspect of the story. Overall a well-written story and the viewers will like it for sure.
Acting/Cast: FL was the highlight of this drama. I liked her so much. She looked stunning and her acting was just perfect for that role. ML was handsome enough and did very well in his role too. The chemistry between ML and FL was simply amazing. The drama was very short and it covered only the story of FL and ML. Other characters did not have that much screen time and they were just average, nothing special. Acting-wise, both FL and ML did amazing.
Music: Nothing special on BGM. The drama was short but had its own OST's. I don't understand Thai, but the soundtrack seemed good to me.
Rewatch value: It's a short drama, only about 2 hours' time. You can rewatch it if you have nothing to do or feel like watching a short lighthearted enjoyable drama.
Ratings: My rating is 9/10. I wanted to give it more because I liked it too much. But gave it only 9. I think that's the fair rating for this drama. MDL rating is showing 7.8. Which is a very low rating and I believe, this rating is not fair for this drama. I hope the viewers will not be affected by the rating and give this drama a chance. It will be a very good and enjoyable watch for them.
My only wish is, there was an episode 7 where we could see more sweet moments with the leads and what lies in the future for them.

This review may contain spoilers
I usually do not like movie/drama with a plot where the female lead chases the male lead first, therefore Itzaura No Kiss and all its franchise never attract me. However, while watching trailers in this site, Gasohug trailer caught my eyes. It attracts me to watch for some reasons: the female lead is smart and a bit crazy in chasing her dream guy, the actress plays it is down-to-earth pretty, not the typical rich guy-poor girl drama plot, and it is short. So I started watching my first Thai drama, and I got hooked for more reasons:STORY
It is so simple yet entertaining, because the female lead has an ability to dream about aspects of her future and all come true, therefore her life is devoted to materialize those dreams outlined on the board: including kidnapping her dream guy and changing her life style from big-city into back-of-the-woods. The male role is not a typical dramatic cold guy with bad past that freeze him or an arrogant guy who thinks he is all that, but simply a quite, shy country guy who thinks he is not worth it for the girl. So is what the female lead thinks when she dreamed about him.
The immigrant life style is portrayed quite accurate and interestingly have similarities everywhere in the world the immigrants move to.
The back country setting and the introduction of Lahu people are very beautifully portrayed.
The plot twist in the last episode is very interesting: as we then see things happened that are not in her dreams. Also, she is hit by the reality that she cannot be with him because of her other aspect of dream she needs to pursue. We suddenly see her dream board is no longer there, and how she moves on thru the hard reality.
ACTING/CAST
Preechaya Pongthananikorn portrayed the quirky funny female lead character Eve superbly, makes me follow her works where I came across her other drama that is also very good. Nattarat Noprattayakorn did a good job as a the quite shy male lead Pun, as usually it's not easy to play the lead male character that doesn't express things verbally or emotionally yet has to be good. The male and female characters have a cute chemistry with his shyness and her boldness to make their romance happens. I also like Mit, Eve's best friend character, the first time he opens his mouth and says: "Eve... Eve"... so lovable.
MUSIC
Usually I don't pay attention much of the music, but this drama has upbeat soundtrack.
REWATCH VALUE
Definitely, bring you smile and laugh all along, and it's a short drama you can watch in one sit.
OVERALL
A perfect one if you are looking for a romantic comedy that is not boring from the start till the end, but has a good moral of the story. The drama makes you think of creating your future does not matter if they are from real dreams (in Eve's case) or just a hope/wish (in Pun's case), and how you navigate your dream/hope/wish thru the realities of life.

• A C T I N G: First of all, we all know that Ice Preechaya is a living legend. I don't know what to say because I think all of her works were great including this one. I CAN FEEL HER PAIN!!! We all know that Ice Nattarat is just new to the industry and it blew me off. GDH really molds their actors to the extent and out of their comfort zones. The crying scenes were surreal and it really drives me off, where I can really empathize for his feelings. This role really suits for him! Both of them really suits for each other. I hope GDH produce a movie consisting them two. We need their faces in the big screen! <3 I know I shouldn't ask for more but ugh! More screen time for their love scenes!!!
• M U S I C: The OST and background music were great. I added those in my spotify playlist haha. They are sweet and just right.
• R E W A T C H | V A L U E: 1000000000000000/10; I feel like rewatching this anytime because of the 3-hour span of the whole series. I enjoy rewatching some parts, or let's say everything. I can't ask for more. THEY LEFT ME HANGING!!!
• O V E R A L L: 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/10; Everything was just perfect as it is! :) <3

"Are Dreams do come true?"
Gasohug defies the typical Lakorn stories that viewers usually watch. The plot, story setting, and character development are unique. I'm glad the director has included the indigenous peoples of Northern Thailand, such as Lahu, Akka, Hmong. Though it can't be compared to a heavy drama for its short but light episodes, I must say the series deserves international attention. The thematic concept of dream is paradoxically untrue in reality. In the story, Eve has dreamed of her fate since she was young, even when she would meet the apple of her eye. Reality speaks, dreams are made of many factors including stress, for example. Dream cannot foretell one's prospect ahead.Overall, the series is light and expects nothing more than entertainment.
