Bittersweet ....
This was not one of my dramas, I went into this mainly because of the 2 main Leads, expecting to see this WOW factor, although I was not overly disappointed, and it was bearable to watch, for me the whole ghost love story was a little too much, and it did have this bittersweet vibe going.
I loved the buildup of Med and Thun's relationship, it was so wholesome and heartwarming. As soon as Thun lit the incense as Med's grave I knew this pairing was special. Then you find out he can see him because Thun is a medium. Signed, sealed, delivered they will fall in love and be super connected. Med becomes Thun's cheating mechanism basically throughout this story, in school (watching Med walk around the classroom was hilarious) and in basketball, which I totally didn't approve of, cheating your way through life or obstacles is really not the way to go, and for a ghost doing it, for me that was a little unrealistic. The other thing that got me is that the show is really slow like super slow, the the development of the romance is SLOW .. yes .. really really SLOW and the 'catalyst' of the development of relationship, is not something that I would horray on, but the delivery is acceptable.
The cast. I've watched a lot of GMMTV series, so I had good feelings about Singto, Sing, Chimon, Gunsmile and Ampere before I started watching. They are a good fit for their roles. It's kind of interesting that Singto, Sing and Chimon - the gang - have all played a BL character before (Sotus, Slam Dance, My Dear Loser, respectively). They are all very enjoyable to watch. The girl who plays Praifah is a little stiff. Overall, though, Ohm stood out the most to me. He is really charming. His character is youthful but caring, and he depicts that perfectly. His smile is very bright and his tears shook my heart.
OVERALL:
Certainly one of the better Thai BLs (-ish?) out there and a good addition to GMM’s reservoir. The mystery aspect is a bit weaker than other dramas I’ve seen, so if you’re interested primarily for that, you may be underwhelmed. Similarly, if you’ve seen a lot of really intricate and intense mysteries/thrillers, especially Korean ones, then I don’t think you’ll be too impressed with this one. However, the story between Than and Med is really sweet and well done, and fans of these actors won’t be disappointed.
