Rom-Com only for Luke's fans

A romantic Lakorn with Luke Voyage in ML's role (star model) and 1 FL, a young kindergarden teacher with a complicated family, who agrees to become his manager to pay for the hospital fees for her ultra-protective, rigid and authoritarian grandfather.

The acting is like in most lakorns, a little overplayed, compensated by the highlighting of Luke Voyage's visuals ( a lot and very hot ;). Some characters are not coherent at all : Jessica (one of the psychotics rivals) and the grandfather in particular, and the unbearable ML2, love rival and neighbor (except in the last 2 episodes).

BUT ABOVE ALL, the story is not well writen :
- View of romantic and sexual relationships, quite murky (drugs, harassment, assault, etc.) including when guys are the victims (which is good representation, but rarer IRL;)
- anti-foreigners racism in Thailand
- Very distorted vision of Western countries (poverty, racism, illegal boxing matches, etc.)
- Vision that does not seem credible to me either of the modeling world (party people, sneaky, very dependent on a few influential people, etc.).
- the inevitable break up "to protect you" annoys me especially when it doesn't make sense, like here.
- the OST are too "lakorn" for me....

=> Series to watch only for the very hot Luke's visuals and the chemistry within the CL despite the multiple plotholes and flaws.

Lakorn romantique avec Luke Voyage en ML (mannequin vedette) et 1 FL, jeune enseignante avec famille compliquée, qui accepte de devenir son manager pour payer les soins de son grand-père, ultra-protecteur, rigide et autoritaire.
Acting un peu surjoué, TB mise en valeur des visuels de Luke Voyage, et un ML2, love rival et voisin, insupportable(sauf dans les 2 derniers épisodes).
MAIS SURTOUT :
- Vue des visées amoureuses et sexuelles, assez glauque (drogue, harcèlement, etc.) y compris vis à vis des mecs (ce qui est bien, mais rare ;)
- racisme anti-étrangers en Thaïlande
- Vision des pays occidentaux très déformée (misère, racisme, matches de boxe illégaux, etc.)
- Vision qui ne me semble pas crédible non plus du milieu du mannequinat (fêtards, sournois, très dépendant de quelques personnes influentes, etc.).
- certains personnages ne sont pas cohérents du tout : Jessica et le grand-père en particulier.
- l'inévitable break up pour te protéger m'agace surtout quand il n'apas de sens comme ici.

=> A voir pour les visuels très hot de Luke et l'alchimie au sein du CL malgré les multiples plotholes et flaws.
