It had a lot of potential, but it sizzled out by the end
The basic premise of the plot was very cliché – rich man falling in love with a poor woman who is working for him. Seen about a million times, but it can still be great. I liked the added complication of Vee’s missing mother and Mirin’s involvement with it. It added an extra layer of possible complications. I was, however, not a fan of how it all played out. They were really building up with all the problems, the way all relationships were becoming more and more complicated, the issues were pilling up… and then it just kind of fizzled out. It was very anticlimactic.
Veekit & Mirin: They were trying to make Vee cold, unreachable, and grumpy. He was just childish and kept throwing tantrums left and right. I am glad they dropped that act fairly quickly, even if his sudden change of character was a bit unexpected. Mirin was sweet, even if a bit too honest at times. I liked that. She matched Vee fairly well and didn’t let him trample all over him. I found the two cute, but I didn’t really feel the sparks. Which is a shame. Dew’s acting did feel a bit bland at times, I just don’t think he handled the emotional scenes well. I liked Kao’s acting better, it was more believable.
As for side characters, I think Chanon had a lot of potential. There could be a lot more done with him, his ambitions, and his mother’s plans. But they took the easy way out in the end. And he became another thing, another complication that just kind of sizzled out. Ewes was sweet and loyal, even if there were times where that loyalty might have brought her to the wrong side of things. Thanya was just plain annoying. She didn’t really have any personality beyond being rich and wanting Vee.
As I said, it had a lot of potential. But it was wasted as they decided to take the easy way out when it came to solving all the issues that arose through the drama.
