Suggestion: Do SKIP the 1st episode which has DIFFERENT CAST and it's not the real age gap we are REALLY dealing with the whole rest of the series.

One couple is girl around 18, guy around 29. Other couple is girl around 30, guy around 21. Nobody needs to deal with any other weird(er) specifics, because that's not what we actually see in the series (we CAN see the general age of portraying actors, that can't be helped). So I would quit it and concentrate on the actual romantic stories here.

First, I find it FASCINATING this series has TWENTY episodes considering it's actually about NOTHING at all. LOL. The story of both couples is not much, there is nothing much really happening except long talking in circles approx. 6 times about 1 minor thing that almost/happened.

General story of the first couple is she is young and timid, doesn't have much freedom in her age and the older guy is coming on her rather strong while her older sister with aggressive protective attitude keeps hovering.

General story of the second couple is she is desperately in love with too a young guy for her opinion (namely her pride), while he is desperately in love with older girl who acts like a c*w as she cannot come in terms with that she loves him, too.

It's going in circles, especially with the second couple.

It's not very "lovey dovey" but it's watchable, due the lack of even worse bullsh*t (like evil plotting bad guys, crime lines, family secrets...) and good dose of lighthearted scenes where nobody is getting kidnapped by vile secondary male or their hair pulled by hysterical secondary female.

Skinship scenes of the second couple are way better as the guy is way hotter and the girl is not so green and constrained.

I didn't like the music.

Around 14th episode I seriously felt the whole theme has exhausted itself. I don't know who needed to keep selling commercials to drag this for 6 more but I got tired while watching.

Stretching for more than necessary, I started getting nitpicky with the series. Episode 15, Pearwah Nichaphat's character is the object of two guys fighting over her (literally wrist-pulling her in between themselves) for the second time already. This is unexplicable as in this series, she is as dull as doornail. Ciize Apichaya actually looked more similar to the child actress in episode 1, maybe it was a mistake SHE was in the side-role. Also Bie Thassapak was getting on my nerves, he looked... so gay in this. But I think I would not write these things if the series ended sooner.

Rest of the episodes consist of even more random and unrelated bits that don't form any story (it made me even check the scriptwriter, looks like it's someone who only wrote some sequels before or did some editing), therefore saying they were boring would be an understatement.

I DID appreciate that in the last episode none of the characters suddenly pulled a gun from their drawer to rescue someone in a demented "action final", nevertheless I didn't enjoy lukewarm conversations on the same topic for the 10th time or the 100th time of listening to the same bits of "wistful piano" soundtrack. It all went slower and slower. It felt like stuck in a time-loop. It was like it would never end...
