Transcending the simplicity?
Unlike many viewers I was not overwhelmed by this drama. Final note : 8.8/10
Yes the concept is different from Thai dramas of the genre but I had this feeling of unfinished business as if one or two episodes were missing to complete the picture. Nevertheless, it has the merit of being well directed and well acted especially for Mix Sahaphap whose first role it is. As for Earth, he has made enormous progress in his acting by finding a sort of balance between modesty and passion for his character. You can feel the chemistry between the characters, it's all fine and natural.
It's a wonderful romance, all tenderness and sweetness. There's an element of reality in the way it's done. There is a whole range of emotions and feelings that are exploited, guilt, fear of being judged by society, respect for one's elders, affection for children of the village, righteousness towards one's work and confidence in one's friendships and so many others. We go from laughter to tears, from anger to appeasement, from revolt to respect, from resignation to hope.
Each of the characters has a role to play in Tian's evolution and in the construction of their couple. It's just refreshing when there's no useless melodrama or characters to fill in the blanks.
Bonus: I really appreciate the fact that this drama shows us rural Thailand, far from the glitz, the nice houses, cars and expensive clothes and accessories.
